Fracture Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Morning gents. I'm planning on a Flesh Tearer army when the new BA codex comes out. I can't wait to see the Seth model. But in the mean time I've knocked this guy up. Only problem I have is I cant quite decide on which head to use or which way it should look. So here's 4 pics and hopefully some comments from you fine people will help me decide. Hope you like him Pose No.1. This is the pose I'm thinking of most. Puts most of the attention on the crozius as he has it raised. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture022.jpg Same head but different pose. This time the focus is a bit more on the trophy but the crozius is still pretty prominant. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture023.jpg Here's the same to posses with the different head. its been sprayed black so sorry if you can't make out the detail. The horns are going to be removed so it will look like this head I did for my Night Lord http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/mixed.jpg So on the Chaplain. Pose one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture025.jpg Pose two. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture024.jpg Thanks for looking guys.

FIST_OF_DORN Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nice work, I would go for pose 1, Looks to me like he is shouting a challenge to allcomers. As for the heads my personal preference is the first head, even without the horns the second head just looks chaosy. Can't wait to see him finished (whichever head you choose).

Lord Janos Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Personally i'd go for the 1st pose with the second head, to me it looks like he's ordering the DC to push forward which i really like also im not really too keen on the 2nd pose for some reason which i cant really pin down but either way youve still got an awesome looking model!

Terrible_Trygon Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 First pose, first head here. I just think the second head is ugly. It has a nice idea, I admit, but it's features are way too over-exaggerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother DjoulZ Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I vote for the first head and first pose. However, if I may suggest something, what about trying to position the head so that it looks slightly downward as if he was about to strike something below him. That would suggest he is above all. Just an idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 First pose, first head from me too. Still looks FT brutal, but not tooooo chaosy ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazcruzk Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I vote for the first head and first pose. However, if I may suggest something, what about trying to position the head so that it looks slightly downward as if he was about to strike something below him. That would suggest he is above all. Just an idea... I agree with this idea. The way the breastplate sticks out might make it a pain to pull off but it would look amazing. Honestly I think the second head is too chaos-like for a loyalist marine, as brutal as the Flesh Tearers may be. Maybe if there was some kind of renegade twist on your army.

Vulkan454 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 +1 for 1st head 1st pose. But were are just here to advise you, in the end its your choice. Nice model is it Cassius? Vulkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Cheers for the replies gents. Think thats made up my mind for the head and pose. Only problem with making that model look down is the head has a bit of a pointy chin on it and the high collar on the torso get's in the way. @Vulkan454- Yup, thats the cassius model with bits filed and drilled off to remove the head (that was a pain in the arse) and Ultra bits. However. I've got another trophy head in mind. Its the eversor one. the heads a bit smaller and much better detailed, but to fit in in means cutting out the hand part of the claw. I don't suppose anyone on here has any old malcadons they want to get rid of do they? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I second your choice of going with the 1st head, and pose. The second pose looks to me more like he's sticking out his tounge at someone whereas the first is a battleroar or glare. The eversore head swap could be cool, but like you said, involving a lot of carving and cutting. Best of luck mate, it's looking good so far!

Midnightmare Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey I have a question too, where did you get the claw hand from? Cheers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feytor Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 You could use Flesh Tearers' ritual blade or chainaxe instead of crozius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks for the further comments. The claw is from the old necromunda malcadon spyrer. I hate the newstyle lightning claws witch are just power fists with blades. I try and use the malcadon claws for power armour as they actually look fast. I like the idea of using a chain axe. Now thinking if there's a way to convert the eagle wings into chain blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Well you could take the eagle head that's on the bottom of some chainswords, mount it at the top of the shaft, then take DA upg. sprue and put the wings on the sides of hte head, that might work.. Or do it simply by paint ( painting the head of the axe as a wing ). Could be kewl my friend, I say try it and see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fracture Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Do you mean the claw? It's from a necromunda malcadon spyrer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 Right, Had a cut around on another claw with a different trophy head hel in it. Not sure what I think of this one. The detail is better and the scale isbetter too. Just not sure about the had holding it. Its kind of forced out at am angel by the claws. Anyway, what do you guys think? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture026.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture027.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feytor Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You can also take berzerker chainaxe and plant the wing from imperialis mark that you can find in every vehicle sprue on the head of the axe.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The Flesh Eaters are an interesting chapter. Due to the lack of Marines, will you be working more on assault marines, to represent their succumbing to the Black Rage? I like the chaplain: looks like one the brutal chapter would have.

Fracture Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 It will indeed be assault marines, Many many assualt marines. A mix of some with jump packs and some in las cannon razor backs with melts guns for tank busting. Doubt I'll have anything troop carried with a range of over 24". Just really hoping the Seth scult turns up a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fracture Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ok, so painting had begun. Here he is after about 8 hours or so, The main coloursare on and I hope to have him finished over the next day or so. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture037.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/Damned_man/Flesh%20Tearers/Picture038.jpg What are your thoughts so far?

Dragonkin Arenis Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Lovely conversion, I never thought that Cypher backpack would look so good on anything other than a Dark Angel; but you have pulled it off! :) I love that head as well, where is it from?

Fracture Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Glad you like him. Almost finished him but haven't had a chance to take any more pics. Finished pics tomorrow. The head is from one of the old chaos bikers with the horns removed and filed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
