matchbox Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Right so i've decided i'm gonna have a bit of fun and convert myself up a Gabriel Seth character. I have decided to use the body from the 2008 Games Day mini because it's a cool pose, however i am unsure about which Chainsword to use for the weapon blade. I am likely to use one of these 2. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7522/photo2ia.jpg This is the Body. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/1691/photocf.jpg Any suggestions welcome.

lhg033 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 top one. alternatively, if you can get a hold of some of the ork nob weapons ther are some nice two handed chain axes in there tht would suit. nice choice for the body. lhg033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchbox Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks. I'm not a big axe fan personally. I much prefer the sleeker look of Swords. Alright going with fluff i should have lots of them with my Fleshtearers but i still stand by my decision to use swords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchbox Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Okay here he is with his backpack and sword attached. http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2578/photo3dsb.jpg http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2927/photo4yu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I think you're of too a good start here. A little greenstuff and some light sanding and you'd never know they were separate blades to begin with. Any thoughts as to what's going in his other hand?

Lestat Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Looking good so far. I like the sword conversion - nice and big! As for the other hand, how about a severed head being hurled at the enemy? That would look nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchbox Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 That's a good idea. Not one I had considered to start with. What I had though if was to have him look like he had dodge an attack and punched someone in the face, however I reckon it would be hard without him looking like he's just holding a fist up. The severed head idea certainly has preference ATM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 There is one on the Ork boyz sprue. Or maybe a zombie or Ghoul head from the undead range would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellitin Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 He looks pretty sweet so far! A nice, big chainsword. As far as the other arm, him throwing a severed head would be a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matchbox Posted July 17, 2010 Author Share Posted July 17, 2010 Ok current update. Not 100% happy with the severed head i went for. Might change it for one from the zombie sprue. Thank you for reminding me about my Undead Army Lestat.. http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/900/photo5no.jpg What do you reckon? I sculpted a bit more hair onto the head to make it look slightly less strange. Stupid chaos and they're weird hairstyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem - I'm always looking at sprues at bitz trying to work out where I could use them. Like where you are going with this head. Maybe if you were to raise the left arm up so it is more outstretched and have the head hanging naturally by the hair. Of course, if you went for a head from the zombie/undead sprues, you could go down the "Alas poor Yorrick" route and have him holding the head in his hand, blood running down his gauntlet.

matchbox Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 I've actually changed the head hanging from his hand. However I do like the alas poor Yorrick thing but it wouldn't work with him running. I have instead used the two heads hanging together from the zombie sprue. Keeping the top knot from the chaos head. It's hanging back at an angle to represent him swinging his arm forward with them in his hand. Looks much better now. We get a picture up when I get home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
