FMCaustic Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 This is my Master Of the Forge with conversion beamer, http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01966.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01967.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01968.jpg When I was reading the rules for the forge master and i see that his beamer replaces his servo harness I figured it would be a larger weapon and that utilizing it would require the extra space supplied by the absence of the harness. I know that it was to cut down the power of the techmarine when equipped with a beamer but I think it fit fluff wise. But i didn't want it to be like some super huge weapon. I think I found a pretty cool mid way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Bit OTT on the necron rods there I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I agree about the rods, but overall I think it looks pretty snazzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMCaustic Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hahahahaha Possibly but I really enjoyed the idea. It is heavy 1 weapon that gets stronger in range so I kinda felt it would have some huge charging and power apparatus. I think fluffwise it would work like this. The converions beamer requires a mass amount of energy and being ancient it needed a newer way to actually gether the energy. So the energy rods draw in power from the power fists, Making them useless as close combat weapons but adequate enough to power the beamer, Also i use those as my power weapon idea. I imagine the getting hit by one of those would be rather deadly. Since it's a pre-heresy weapon i also figured they weren't man portable before.

drmelontor Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I like the direction you're going, but I think what you should maybe do is have short rods sticking out of the fists (Say, half the length?) and the long ones sticking out of a fancy backpack.

FMCaustic Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Actually after the comments I did shorten the rods to half length but the fancy backpack idea sounds interesting. i will probably make a mock up idea soon to test it out.

Justin Kase Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Very creative - I actually took them for rays of energy as opposed to rods when I first saw them :P If you're curious, there was a thread a while back that has a bunch of pictures of Conversion Beamers in it ( Conversion Beamer Thread ), thought it might spark even more ideas from you :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Nice ideas with the rods, I really like it. Let's see some pictures with shorter rods! ^^ EDIT: another thing: The shoulderpads look really bland. Maybe give him some more techy shoulderpads? The vehicle sprue and the ravenwing sprue have some very nice ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMCaustic Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thank you everyone for the ideas and help. @Justine Kase That thread was helpful I am thinking something along the lines of changing the fusion blaster on the end of the right power fist and getting rid of the fist completely to add something more along the lines of an arm mounted cannon looking piece kinda like the terminator weapons. @Cathar the great I will out more pictures up later today once I get home and start in on more modeling projects. @Tybrus I think brother Krypton would fit rather nicely hahahaha, fluff wise for my army the forge master and captain of the third company were friends long before (as he will be named) Krypton went to Mars for the techmarine training. Upon his return he had become just as mysterious to other marines as any other techmarine does but still holds his ties to Arden Stern the Victorex Alpha (the third captain) who will be a Kantor Counts as.

FMCaustic Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 :( A Double post! May the Emperor allow me to live one more day. :P So I got some new picks of the shortened rods. Later today I will probably do some more work on him. I have a bunch of projects going on right now though. http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01970.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01971.jpg So Next is some other work. Right now I am working on making Sammeal a more generic chapter character so I can use him in my chapter. Also after some very good inspiration from Dan the Deamons amazing alpha legion models I have started converting some of my own (hoping he wont mind me traking some of his ideas.) Also I am making a generic regualr techmarine with servo harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0atmilk Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 i really like the direction this is going! i agree tho, about the shortening of the rods. but you say youve done that so id be very interested in seeing pics of that cuz i love glowing green things... edit: woops. you beat me to it! well done!

FMCaustic Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hahahaha Yeah I'm glad you like it the shorter rods will help me have room for other conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMCaustic Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I'm a fast updater so sue me. I've got some more pictures of his new conversion beamer weapon. http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01975.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01976.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01977.jpg So Tell me what you think I personnaly like this version better.

cathar the great Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Pictures aren't showing. Why don't you upload your images to your Bolter&Chainsword Gallery? ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMCaustic Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I FIXED THOSE PICTURES! I didn't know I had a BandC gallery thanks for that. This is my first thread on this website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yeah the gallery works really nice and no issues with bandwidth or anything. I like the new version much better, looks more exotic yet in keeping with the Space Marine weapon style. Have you thought about giving him a Devastator backpack (e.g. mulitmelta/plasmacannon or hvy bolter) and add some cabling from the pack to the weapon? It would add more bulk and detail, and would explain why he had to remove his harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMCaustic Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 I would say thats a very good Idea. I am very basic with greenstuff at best so I will most likely find some cable pieces somewhere else, BTW I added a tech shoulder pad to the left side I'm saving the right for a chapter symbol. I haver no chapter yet so I don't know about colors or anything but after my newest work on Dan the Daemon inspired Alpha Legion I think I might do a loyalist Alpha Legion force. In order to do that I would have to change my fluff since an Alpha Legion force loyal or not would have a hard time getting Imperial support as thier legion as deemed tratiors so I might have to rework my fluff as he is an exsisting techmarine from the heresy days.

FMCaustic Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 So As I said Fast Updater. I like to finish projects in a relativly small time so they can be used immediatly all the comments and critisism really help so here is the most recent incarnation of Brother Krypton! (I just have to use the name now, after having it on the thread once wether it was sarcastic or not I am now absolutely attached to the name.) http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01990.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01991.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01992.jpg http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt105/FMCaustic/Techmarine/DSC01993.jpg Please for the love of the Emperor add some critisism or comments.

Retributis Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Looking much better :) Love the backpack, though I do think there's too many rods in there, too porcupiney :( but if you like it that's cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMCaustic Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hahahahah Yeah I will end up keeping the rods that are already there I like them very much so. They give him a very imposing and rather awkward look that I really want him to have. Techmarines are supposed to be mysterious and aloof and not many people want to get close to someone with such an offensive look. I imagine this as even standing and not firing the weapon, the air around the Marine would be filled with a near physical power wherever he goes a potent hum and glow would be thrown off as the charging apparatus is filled with searing dangerous energies, the rods would only go dark as the weapon discharges channeling all the power into a beam powerfull enough to punch through the armour of a landrader like nothing more than tin. To stand near him is to stand in the presence of something vastly older and more powerful than they could imagine to look at him is to look at the lost power of the Great Crusade.

Justin Kase Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Looks pretty wild, really like the blaster portiom :P Have you thought about the possibility of putting 'end caps' on the rods? Might make them look a bit more like energy cylinders then beams of light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
