Hashshashin Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hello, everyone, been awhile since I posted, but I've been lurking regularly <_< Just wanted to show you guys my latest project that's DA related, I've been working on a traitor guard army and the other day I realized I wanted it to be lead by a fallen Angel and Straken's stat-line in the new Gaurd Codex is basically a marine one, including the 3+ Sv. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/S_sJRIuBlQI/AAAAAAAAADo/11ILUs9eRKU/s1600/fallen.jpg So I made this True-Scale model to emphasize the size of the Marine to the rest of the guard army. http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/hashshashin_2008/Fall_size.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__dLrqmv6gew/S_sJQNDH-aI/AAAAAAAAADY/30QGrhw2WBA/s1600/Fall_rear.jpg More info here Also not sure of a name for him, I've been cruising al the "Angel Name" web-sites, but can't come up with anything, imput welcome :) Thanks , and C&C welcome.

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 well, he does look nice I have to say. How bout Gideon? Or Baranas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Styphus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Quite splendid. Before anyone asks him where he got his parts (including the awesome holstered bolter), just click on his more info HERE link. It has a detailed list of the parts and where they came from. Mind sending me a PM link with a full army shot with this guy somewhere in the mix? I like the look of the few guardsmen I can see, so I can't wait to see everyone under this guy's leadership. I know it's a name of a creature from a game, but Lagiacrus sounds rather fitting. Sar Lagiacrus, Slayer of the wyrm of Nariah. When in doubt, look up Jewish names from your friendly neighborhood hotel bible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Lazarus perhaps? That's a really good model - well converted and painted. Technically speaking, there wouldn't be the Deathwing's broken dagger emblem on his leg, but that's a really minor point. I really like him - good work!

krewl Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Very gritty dark and mysterious figure with the cloak that way. Especially with the bigger scale he should be a great addition to your list. (You could greenstuff the break in the dagger, just make a really thin roll of green stuff by rolling it on a tile. that should fill it up easily and then you can paint over it if you feel it matters enough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Payton Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Chaos, loyalist or uncorrupted renegade? Lovely model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tancred Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Love the model mate and one of the best true-scale marines i've seen. I recall that in the book "Angels of Darkness" the fallen dark angel Astelan leads an army of guardsmen and takes control of an imperial planet. I know in the book Astelan says he was doing it for the Emperor but it's just a thought. Looking forward to seeing a whole army shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 This is a stunning bit of work it really is. Love the pose, the 'aura' for want of a better word, and the battered paint scheme. The =][= power sword is a really nice touch as it looks quite chaosy. [Looking at other stuff on your blog - all good] Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashshashin Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hey everyone, Thanks for the input, I'm glad most people like him, I'm pretty happy so far, I just need to finish up his different metal parts, including working on the sword more. Chaos, loyalist or uncorrupted renegade? That is a good question ;) I wanted him to be suitably dark/sinister, but not overtly Chaos Spikezzed up. His army is the same way, totally evil/bizzarro, but I don't think I'll use any chaos symbols (except maybe on the "sanctioned" psykers and their transport. Brother Styphus: Thanks! I will gladly send you a link and I'll probably just muster what I have built so far and post it to my blog soon-ish so I'll let you know either here or PM. Gilly / Krewl: Yeah I thought alot about the sword break on his leg and I've thinking about just leaving it, I could easily cover it up, but one thought I had was to add a small 'cut' of battle damage to disguise the sculpted break, but to still have the sword "broken" just "accidentally" instead of it being sculpted that way. so I don't know really... What do you guys think? Bro Tancred: never read that book, but I should, and also thanks for the compliments Isiah: Thanks for the comments, I appreciate them all. :P As far as the name goes I like a most of you's guy's suggestions but I still need to sleep on it, also another criteria for his name is I would like it to fit onto the banner on his leg, so can't be too long, but there's quite a bit of realistate on that little banner so... On a side note I also just finished a MkIIb kit-bash/scratch-build for my DW so I'll try to get some pics up for you guys of that as well, I have 6-7 weeks to finish my 2 LR's and finish painting the more detailed work on my DW sergeants for an upcoming 1850 tourney (ps. even though the Fallen's army is not all powered armoured could I maybe post a "family shot" here or should I just link to my blog once I get the team assembled?)

Brother Styphus Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Don't get discouraged about the broken sword. I think if anything, a member of the Fallen should have first rights to take the broken sword emblem. There's a chance that he actually witnessed the Sword Break, and if he has ever bumped into Cypher (which seems to be a reoccurring thing in fluff) he would know without a doubt the status of the sword.

Hashshashin Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 So slightly off the Fallen topic, here's MkII LandRaider I've been working on, still need to fill the big gaps around the front plates, but other than that pretty much finished. So what do ya guys think? http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/hashshashin_2008/LR_2b_Front_.jpg http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/hashshashin_2008/LR_2b_Side1.jpg http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp208/hashshashin_2008/LR_2b_Side2.jpg Aagin some more info here Thanks for all the input and encouraging words, I don't post much, but when I do it's nice to get such positive feedback :verymad: Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HsojVvad Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I read your blog there and it made me laugh. Got me thinking though, how the hell can they live for 10 000 years? It's not like they make new Fallen. I guess it's all the time displacement thing. So are you going to make more, or does he act on his own? I don't know why but Caphias sticks to my head for his name. Maybe I just read it somewhere but something like that is what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPK Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I love this idea. It is exactly how I see a Fallen operating - I even mentioned in another thread that this would be the best way to introduce a "Fallen army". Not an army of all Fallen, which is simply unfluffy, but an army lead by Fallen Angel HQs but whose troops are made up of renegade guardsman and astartes (probably nothing too chaosy though) along with just general "rouge trade" type mercenaries - maybe they even tolerate the usage of expandable xeno auxiliaries.

Tanhausen Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 NMM are looking quite decent ;) Only thing... I 'd say you over-did-it with the damage in the armour... but just my opinion :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Awesome, very atmospheric fallen there! As for a name, how about Beroth? "Beroth the Fallen" Pyrael. Ursiel. either of those might be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysideofthemirror Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I've been planning on doing a mark II landraider conversion, but I haven't been able to decide how to scratch build the sides properly. Any advice or even plans? I like how yours turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onezerozero Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Totally love how his armour looks like trash...very important with Fallen, seeing as they're no longer supplied by the imperium.

Peter Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 that landrader looks awsome so far! are the pannels on the front form the Fortress of Redemption?
