noodlenerd Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 My converted Tycho, don't care for original model, but love the fluff. :lol: Kind of a kitbash, with little GS (mask and some gaps filled, etc.) All parts from DC and SG kit, except for gun, and a very few bits. enjoy! http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad254/dnllied/TychoFerdig.jpg http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad254/dnllied/Tychovenstrearm.jpg http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad254/dnllied/TychoHyrearm.jpg http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad254/dnllied/Tychoferdigbak.jpg Oh and I painted my digi weapons on by hand, forgot to GS it :lol: http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad254/dnllied/TychoDigiweapons.jpg Crits welcome!

yodaid764 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 How did you do the half mask for the face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 great idea and it's well executed. Might have to steal this idea sometime in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Dropout Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 As with the figs WIP, great job in painting :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodlenerd Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 How did you do the half mask for the face? I took a really small amout of GS and carefully modelled it on him, but I left the eye without any gs. Then I just painted the eye as part of the mask.

Kurasuke Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I also dislike the original model, but this is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 A most excellent model, add me to the list of those that like this one better then the original :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 That is a pretty cool conversion - might have to borrow that idea! The addition of the Ork skull is a very nice touch. A definate inspiration there - I think I might have a go at a DC version......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 well done. Personally the model they have for him is old so he might get a revamp in the 2nd wave of BA. Real nice work on the model but I feel the one-handed holding of the bolter feels a little...well I don't know it just feels weird and looks very static. however a good job regardless of how you hold your bolter!

Rob_Loken Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Lovely conversion. And quite simple too, but incredibly effective. Nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed the illustration in the codex, with tycho holding it one handed. I do, however, like it myself, so I guess it's a matter of taste :D But then again, I will renember it for my DC tycho! ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryce Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Great model man! The pose is awesome, looks much better than the GW Tycho model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haunter! Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Fantastic job converting and painting. In particular I like gems on the right shoulder, they really shine. It's cool to see the Death Company X standing out amongst the gold. I was trying to figure out how to sand the Xes down, but it seems like they don't throw of the overall effect of the model.

noodlenerd Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 Thanks :D I kept the X on the backpack mainly because the X's are used to represent the wounds sanguinius suffered, so I guessed that a small X could represent Tycho's disfigurment in a way too. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
