tahrikmili Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I can't decide between the two poses. Please note that for the second pose the Sergeant will hold a Bolter with a scope NOT a Bolt Pistol, and hold a frag grenade biting its pin off in his other hand. I just didn't want to take a knife to the bit until I was sure. Also, I may have the scaped Bolter pointing down instead. Also, suggestions beyond these two are also welcome, I have many bits I can use :) 1. 2.

Dejay Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I prefer the bottom one, it's different from the generic bolt pistol / chainsword pose.

Brother Loring Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 No. 2 definitely, very original! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191779-help-me-choose-a-pose-for-my-devastator-sergeant/#findComment-2275782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmatt Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, number 2 good original pose, but I think you could improve this by lowering the left hand, or swopping for the pointing hand from the command squad. Hope this helps Jackmatt.

sword brethren Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 i like number two, looks like he is speaking into a walkie talkie, im wondering how you will do the grenade though.

Durus Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I like the idea for the second pose. Right now it looks like he's eating Pez, though. Give him a grenade! ;) The walkie talkie idea might work better with one of the biker/assault squad helmets with an antenna, and two fingers on the ear or something like that.

Commander Sasha Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Stick a whippy aerial in the grenade, as a field radio? My Dev Sgt has never fired a shot, so is pointing and looking. Who's he throwing the grenade at? If he can throw 48" he should be playing pro-sports!

Asrech Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I agree with the masses about pose 2, the 1st is cool, but has been done again and again. Id say also turn him a little sideways by twisting his torso slightly to his left, so that his grenade arm is "behind him". I think that would look more like he is trying to get a far throw ( look at a baseball pitcher, they don't stand with their chest straight facing forward, or just simulate throwing something yourself to get a feel about the movement/pose ). Give him the grenade hand, and make sire to paint the grenade in a color so that it sticks out a lot, and it would be awesome I think. And as for the serg never shoting I agree, but devs do some heavy firefights inside cities as well, where a grenade through a close-by window can be very usefull indeeed :( "Sniper 2 o'clock sergeant!" *Pulls pin, toss* BOOM "Not any more..." Let us know how it turns out. Cheers!

Baal Dropout Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I vote for #2 :( (IMHO though it looks like he's talking to a walkie-talkie instead of puling a grenade's pin... I understand it isnt a grenade-holding hand... what if the arm's a bit higher so as he's not obstructed by his gorget?)

War Angel Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 i dont like the idea of pulling the safty pin of a grenade with youre teeth just because its done in movies and not in real life, But then again thats why its done in real life, it looks cool. So, i guess i would go with two, But you gota do something with that pistol, It just doesnt seem to fit, if he could shoot his target, he wouldnt need the grenade now would he?

Fire Lord Captain Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I like the first pose as the second pose kinda looks like he's nervously biting his fingernails whilst firing. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191779-help-me-choose-a-pose-for-my-devastator-sergeant/#findComment-2276878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamdelgray Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I am of the opinion that even space marines have to eat their full servings of fruit and vegetables. Even in the middle of a war-zone.

tahrikmili Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Well, the masses have chosen pose 2 and I've abided.. though I decided to leave my options open for the future, in case I want to use something like a Power Fist or a Chainsword instead soo.. I decided to make use of some magnets I picked up a while ago. I have no hand drills so I had to install them using a modelling knife, it went smoother than I thought it would and there's almost no gap between the pieces (nothing very visible unless you go looking for it). And now it's actually posable too, so I can have him aimint while biting the pin, or with the Bolter lowered as some people sugested!

tahrikmili Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 Well, he's finished. I intentionally made him helmetless, and now that the second arm is magnetized and there's a pistol on the belt, I can switch the Bolter for a Chainsword/Power Weapon/Fist in the future if I need one. I think it came out rather well.. any last minute suggestions for the pose? I even have some fluff for him.. See that bionic eye? Well, biting off grenade pins doesn't always go that well. Now all I need is a name. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191779-help-me-choose-a-pose-for-my-devastator-sergeant/#findComment-2277452 Share on other sites More sharing options...
