S0L0 Again Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'll make a nice base for it later but the regular one will do for now. http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo299/jnxgfx/RL%2040k/DSCN1006.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo299/jnxgfx/RL%2040k/DSCN1003.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo299/jnxgfx/RL%2040k/DSCN1004.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo299/jnxgfx/RL%2040k/DSCN1005.jpg http://i385.photobucket.com/albums/oo299/jnxgfx/RL%2040k/DSCN1006.jpg So do you guys think I can field this as Kantor? He'll look sufficiently special after he's painted, obv. EDIT: bwah! Spoiler tags don't work!

Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'd do something to make the storm bolter a bit fancier. Other than that looks fine to me.

sword brethren Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 i love the custom model and cant wait to see the paint job man. but the helm isnt somthing ive ever seen on a crimson fist. i agree but i think its an ultrasmurf, it has the chapter symbol very nice, i really like it, the SB looks to average. other than that when its apinted it will be great Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177697-pedro-kantor/#findComment-2101216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0L0 Again Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Yep he's a smurf. I'm trying to think of what I can do to make the storm bolter extra fancy, but I have no green stuff as you might have guessed from the pictures. I might just have to give it Gold plating and some writing with the paint job if I can't find any bits to spice it up... I might have a strip of bullets I can toy with though...

sword brethren Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 if you have a scope you could shave the thing of the top and replace it with that and maybe a wire out of the back to make it look like a laser sight. just a thought strip of bulluts sounds like a good idea.

Drug_unit Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Gotta say looks very nice and simple mod but i suggest you make the Storm bolter a littel more detailed or something Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177697-pedro-kantor/#findComment-2101375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
S0L0 Again Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Actually I can steal a scope off of one of my other models and I'm pretty sure I have some wire/tubing laying around, thanks! I'll update with pictures when I get a bit more finished. Maybe I'll mess with that bit of plastic under the barrel to add to the laser scope idea. Also, I should have mentioned before that I didn't paint that backpack. mega_marines from this forum did. Hopefully I'll do that good of a job on the rest of this model.

Yeah I'm making a custom Kantor because I has no monies for a shiny new metal one. I'm looking through my bits right now... I have some spare Ultramarine insignia that goes on Drop Pods and I might put one on Dorn's Arrow if it fits.

Thanks for the idea! I already filed it down a bit where I glued it and I'll probably touch it up a bit more before I start giving it color. I also made an ironclad out of a blackreach dred this morning. I might post pictures of that but, like Pedro and all of my other mods, it's very basic and not really impressive.

S0L0 Again Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Looks very nice so far! I have to ask though, where is that Helmet Plume from? Thanks! I got it from Cato Sicarius' helm (the one he holds in his hand) because I needed an iron halo and it has Ultra Insignia. The original helmet was all warped when I got it in the box, but I couldn't see that when I bought it.

Rossco Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Making your own version is a nice idea, it means you're not fielding the same models as everyone else, you should do it when you're not skint too !. When you're flush just go and buy loads of kits so you have a brimming bits box and then go nuts !

S0L0 Again Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 I would try to file off that tactical symbol. I literally just finished talking to my roommate about that tactical symbol. He says since it's direct order only I may as well leave it... I'm not sure though.

Kenmichi Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Can't you just use a different arm? Or try and separate the pad from the shoulder? If worse comes to worse you can do a cast of the symbol and use the symbol on all your tactical marines. It's simple and adds a lot of depth to your models.

grimz Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hey I'm probably going to do something similar if I field Pedro, it looks great ! As others have said the arrow on the shoulder pad looks a tad out of place. The cabling on the gun looks kinda busy to me, maybe try running it under the gun to the back-pack/into the armour?

Debauchery101 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 still not understanding pedro as an ultramarine......where im from in order to use a special guys rules you need to at least have a model armed as listed and shown in proper chapter/army colors.

If worse comes to worse you can do a cast of the symbol and use the symbol on all your tactical marines. It's simple and adds a lot of depth to your models. Well the roomamte I mentioned earlier just moved in and is a seasoned veteran of 40k and especially ultramarines. He said when he's off work on tuesday we'll see what we can do with that pedro. Hey I'm probably going to do something similar if I field Pedro, it looks great ! As others have said the arrow on the shoulder pad looks a tad out of place. The cabling on the gun looks kinda busy to me, maybe try running it under the gun to the back-pack/into the armour? The picture doesn't show the cabling very clearly, it's not that bad. Originally I wanted to run the cabling just as you said, but the plastic wouldn't agree with me. I still might be able to do that though. I'm not sure if the pictures show it well, but the cable splits and one part runs from the gun to his wrist, and a wire comes from the scope and connects to the first wire. I can probably move the gun-wrist piece and make it reach his shoulderpad. I'll update again if I make changes (probably will). @Debauchery: according to games workshop any counts-as special character is 100% legal. oh nice so i can technically take vulkan and in his honor guard i can have a chaplain that counts as Cassius even though hes painted in sally colors? lol /boggle Pretty much, yeah. The characters do need to look somewhat like the official models, so Vulkan would need the 3 relics (forgot the names) and Pedro needs a power fist, Dorn's Arrow, and he needs to look 'inspiring.'
