konrad blackheart Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 if money is not an issue get sicarius's helmet it is quite roman in look also use the roman tabard from the commander box set, in addition try using the sword from the captian in the aobr box set. that should get you started hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Aye it does thanks but i was thiinking about making a few of the armaments and all. I mean anyone have a link to a sight for Roman style armour ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replica Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Check out good ole wiki! Roman Armor  There's lots of stuff, sword shapes and the like. I like the Lorica segmentata, The Shoulder pads would look awesome if they were bulked out a bit!  Heres some links to images:  Chest plate  Helmet  Helmets 2  Hope they help a bit! most of it look easy enough to make with plasticard without too much hassle!  ~ Replica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal van Trapp Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 be nice, he's just asking for help. as for roman style armor and such, you should check the tutorials in the librarium, there are many roman crest tutorials in there to be found, as for the breast plates... i sadly have no idea haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Lorica segmentata could probably be relatively easily made using overlapping strips of thin plasticard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Thanks guys, that gives me some ideas to go with. And blackbabyjesus How about you grow up hmm ^^? cant live in your parents basment forever you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I can feel this thread is going to blow up...its a hunch. Â I would try making your TS model first, without arms or a head, so just legs and body, then work from there. It always works best for me when I do my TSings. That way, I can add stuff that compliment the pose. So if its a running guy, then arms with X stuff on it would look better than with Y stuff.

Brother Loring Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The shoulder pads from the space marine command squad company champion are quite roman-esque and different. Also these helmets are an alternative to Sicarius'. I think they are also designed for 30mm miniatures so would probably be a good size for a true-scale model. Â All the best!

High Marshal Sigfeird Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Ahh good ideas and i love those helms i might have to think on those and for the body i was thinking on this idea http://lh4.ggpht.com/_w52z2ezBXbQ/ShZZLnm_...00/IMG_0148.JPG well kinda like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1TH0R3 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Dude that is one awesome commander the amour plating is excellent and your greenstuffing is clean and smoth. Well done. :) Â Are the shoulder pads gonna be massive; so it fits in with the rest of the model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well when they arrive from forgeworld im going to make the rims a little bigger like a regular marine shoulder pad but i'll post em so you can give me a yay or a nay if they look good or not but thxs all the same for the comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgtNACHO Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Not sure if i like the shoulder pad on the knee or not. I think if you filed it down some, one so it isn't quite as massive, but also so it doesn't look like a shoulder pad you threw on there. I do like the huge greaves on Marines giving them that walking wall appearance. Just make sure he has some boss shoulder pads so not too be outdone by his kneecaps :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Going to be using the forgeworld Ultra marine terminator shoulder pads worked with some green stuff as for the shoulder/knee pad i think it workfs but how would you suggest it be made better ? could really use the input if you know how :)?

Might work. Otherwise like i said before: fantastic work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ah thanks 1Thor3 means allot, been really working hard these last few years for gw stuff. And hopefully i can do more models like this, next is project Dante wanna beef him up. But for now My smurf commander Magnus im gonna give your idea a go about filing the trim of the shoulder pad. Â But as i say any other suggestions please feel free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TH0R3 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Okay after staring in awe for the past 15min, I think that the sword hilt needs a bit more work from what I can tell from the photos  And a '300' style cloak would make the model even cooler ;)  Sorry for all my posts :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Heck dont be sorry this keeps my creative work flowing and in awe huh lol thanks again XD. Anyway took the advice abiout the knee pad got update pics here let me know whatcha think, aswell as ideas for the sword hilt? it need to look a lil more ornante?  I added a scale pic aswell just for kicks.  http://yfrog.com/6uft8jx  Aswell cloak wise are we thinking somthing like this aswell:- http://yfrog.com/3z2paj  Oh god guys sorry i forgot to mention hes gonn have a shield aswell on his bolter arm like a small storm shield liike a chapter champion has i ordered that from here i think these look great and very romanesque. http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main...;products_id=73 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 So whatcha guys think so far hopefully the shield will be coming in a day or so but i filed down the knee pad i think your right it does look better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TH0R3 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 So whatcha guys think so far hopefully the shield will be coming in a day or so but i filed down the knee pad i think your right it does look better   Yea i think it does look better :) .  Shield is a great idea, but i have a feeling the cloak might look a bit too small ( with a bit of g-s it wold be fine though)  I can't really get a good look at the hilt, would it be possible to post an close up?

High Marshal Sigfeird Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Well i made a mold of the cloak but im wondering if the cloak from the chaos terminator lord might look better and flow better what do you think?. And i did a close up of the swords hilt aswell as a couple design sketechs for the sword hilt again let me know what works?. =] Â http://yfrog.com/0ifpyjx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TH0R3 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Now that i look at it, I think its fine. but u need to file it a bit, i think  Um, That's difficult. Maybe use the chaos warrior one( the one suggested before by you) but I think you should just make it longer and it will look fine . the chaos lord one isn't very roman-y . But as always it up to you: the designer chose whatever looks best :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Marshal Sigfeird Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 I'll make a mold of the chaos warrior one and see what it looks like, yeah it maybe up too me, but peoples imput is always welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
