Athens Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I really slowed down on painting my DIY chapter. However, I thought that if I did up the leader of my army then it might inspire me to get back on the ball. This is my Lions of Terra Chapter Master, Coronado De Leon, using Inquisitor Corteaz. However, I made both of his hands magnetic in case I want to use him "counts as" and change out his weapons. Please tell me what you think. Comments, Questions, Suggestions.

cherrboh Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 its a great conversion mate. not too sure on the shield though, the combat shield from assault marines box? i wouldve gone with a pistol or soemthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David the Despoiler Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 The shield does seem a bit small for a Stormshield. Perhaps a pistol would be in order, or a combi bolter. If not, then why not throw a Stormshield from the Assault Terminators on? Those always seem to make the Power Armored marines look that much stronger for wielding such massive shields.

Justicar Crucius Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 i agree about shield size, but what about the position, why is he holding it like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-wrex Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 i agree about shield size, but what about the position, why is he holding it like that  "No don't take my picture, my bit is still in!"  Also, great model, dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Sha'son Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 just a side note... back packs... they make the armor go... Â I like the sword... mind if I steal it? I will call it the Athens Pattern Relic Blade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortifis Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 just a side note... back packs... they make the armor go... Â :woot: Could just be me, but I'm assuming its under the impressive Lion-skin cloak that he's wearing. Â I actually quite like the pose - maybe he's sheilding his eyes from the sunlight to survey what little is left of the enemy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlmb_123 Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 I actually quite like the pose - maybe he's sheilding his eyes from the sunlight to survey what little is left of the enemy? Â Considering the fact that this is a wargame, he's being a bit pre-emptive, isn't he? :lol: Â I like the pose too, it's very strong, and I think the shield is fine. Well done, it's a great looking mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for the comments. I thought of using a larger shield but in that particular pose it looked kind of weighty. However, I originally made this model to be a Vulken Hestan "counts as" so I have made a heavy flamer for that arm. Looks alright but I haven't painted it yet. The hands are magnetic so I can change out the weapons. Why should a chapter master of a space marine chapter be limited? This way he can kill enemies in a myriad of ways. As far as a backpack, I couldn't come up with a way to convert one on this model so instead I went without. To try and add a backpack would take away from the model too much. Â I like the sword... mind if I steal it? I will call it the Athens Pattern Relic Blade Go for it. It was probably my favorite conversion on this model. Â Â Â Â Â Thanks all for showing interest. I will post a picture of him with his heavy flamer soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Angle Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hey, never been a fan of metallic chapters but you did a very good job, also what did you use for the pommel (butt of the sword)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperialis_Dominatus Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I am stealing that crossguard idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 I am stealing that crossguard idea. Â Â Have at it. I am glad you like it. Â Â Here is my Standard Bearer. It is my first attempt at something like this. The banner was mostly done then the latest white dwarf came out about how to do free hand banners. Oh well, I am sticking with this one. The head I chose was from the Space Wolves kit and I liked that it looked like Hulk Hogan. I couldn't pass it up. Â http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/1269685344/gallery_30486_2020_163324.jpg' alt='gallery_30486_2020_163324.jpg'> [/img] Â I feel the banner is missing something but I am not sure what. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thought process of this project:  Chapter master: I don't like where this is going  Sarge and Libby: THis might turn out okay  Tactical Marines: Acutally this is quite good....  Standard bearer: Okay this is good.

MurlocMage Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 The banner could use some honors(you know text on the other two bottom tabs with nothing on them.) Â I do commend you on your freehand and GS work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I think the banner is missing something from the top of the pole? I''d probably just jam a skull on there or something, just to make it a bit more decorative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
