Twin .44 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Well, I've spoken of it several times and am just now getting to posting it. I'm not all that amazing with customizing so be gentle in the judgment part. Let me know what you think, thanks!!! Thanks for looking as well!

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 What did you use for the legs? I am interested to know if you converted the boots to include the skeletal toe bones. Looks quite nice... Lots of BA bling! 0b Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200410-my-custom-dante/#findComment-2387038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfeild32 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 all it needs a death mask it looks better than the real one Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200410-my-custom-dante/#findComment-2387040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 You could use one of the helmets from the Sanguinary Guard for the deathmask. They are quite nice. 0b Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200410-my-custom-dante/#findComment-2387043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin .44 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 The legs are from the Sanguinary Guard box. I just cut small slits into the foot and indented them deeper with a triangular file. If you look close you'll see only four toes... I screwed up. In retrospect I should have just filed into a proper shape and painted instead of indenting the toes. I got another set of those legs so I may end up doing that instead. And on the topic of the Death mask I'm customizing one since I despise the Sanguinary Guard Death Masks. I found a similar head to Dante's death mask of sanguinius, file out the teeth and tongue, put the Laurels from the Command Squad box set on it, and the sanguinary guard helmet with the halo I'm cutting off and attacking to the head, then add some guitar wire to the face. Yup, I have no life Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200410-my-custom-dante/#findComment-2387059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Dan'l Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Since I also hate, hate, hate the Sang Guard masks I'm very much looking forward to seeing how yours comes together. What are the wings from?

Priest33 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 They look like wings from the flying horse model from the Bretonian range. Awesome looking commander tho dude.

Morticon Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Veyr nice dude- just one piece of advice. The weapon is very off balance. You need to do one of two things, make the hilt longer (where he is holding it) or make the shaft shorter.

The wings are the Bretonnian Pegasus Wings from the Warhammer Fantasy line. Thanks for the comments guys, and I also can't wait to see how the head turns out. That's if I ever get the proper bit for the thing. Veyr nice dude- just one piece of advice. The weapon is very off balance. You need to do one of two things, make the hilt longer (where he is holding it) or make the shaft shorter. I was thinking the same thing really. I'll probably cut the back end of a boltgun and stick it on or do some more filing to make it shorter.

That one is friggin' huge so any shorter it looks really awkward. Besides, shouldn't someone as bad ass as Dante weild the biggest angriest axe possible? :P And thanks for the compliment, I can't wait to see if I do any good on it either :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200410-my-custom-dante/#findComment-2387420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Nice work so far. I agree with Morticon's comments about weapon balance. Looking forward to seeing the model finished. Makes me feel lazy for just planning to take the metal Dante and stick Sanguinary Guard jump pack/wings on him.

Brother Captain Cassius Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I am digging those wings. I KNEW I should have bought them with my Sang Guard kit.

TrentL Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I like it ... though the Axe is way too out of whack for me (I'd have him holding the axe more towards the middle for balance reasons) I've seen some nice Dante built with Sanguinary Guard armor, using the Sanguinor back pack and wings, and then the person used the Sanguinary Guard body to make the Sanguinor (As his torso / legs are quite small) Can't wait to see him painted, and can't wait to see the Death Mask as that really will make or break the model.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looks good, but I hate how he holds the weapons right now. He looks as if he's running out to give someone A GREAT BIG HUG.

Myxx Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Looks sharp, waiting with baited breath to see it finished. As to the boots, I like em and wouldn't have noticed the 4-toes if you hadn't pointed it out. (Just call it a flaw in the gene seed.)

SnorriSnorrison Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Awesome concept Twin.44, really nice. I really dig the wings, they fit extremely well. ;) I´d agree on the weapon, needs to be a little shorter in the middle part. And somehow the wings on the knees are a bit off proportion...they look a tad unhandy for running and fighting.

Twin .44 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Well, I gave NMM a shot, and i don't know if it's any good to be honest. I think it's alright, especially with no detail brush (damn puppy eating everything!). So let me know, I would really appreciate it, thanks!!!

Gridlocked Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Very nice mate but I agree, the axe looks way to big for him needs to be shortened up. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/200410-my-custom-dante/#findComment-2419515 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gridlocked Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Im guessing the yelling head from DC sprue painted gold with the laurel being GS and an iron halo from hmmm Captian?

BrotherMoses Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Looks really good. He's very loud, but everything with Blood Angels is loud right now and its a chapter master so if anyone should be loud its him.

Twin .44 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 At some point I will end up doing another one of him and I'll shorten out the axe handle. I didn't do it this time since I already glued it all together when everyone made the suggestions :lol: The Death mask was definitely the yelling face from the Death Company Sprue, the Laurels were from the terminator box set since I can't GS that small. The Halo is from one of the two box sets. The one with the halo around the helmet cut off where it connects. I did want a very loud model for Dante. Otherwise he would end up looking like another Sanguinary Guard model and that needed to be avoided at all costs :P And Morticon, I did lengthen out the gun at the back. I forgot to mention that since it doesn't show in the photos really.
