Okay so the GS work is rough and I need to do the shoulder pads, but this should give you an idea of how I'm getting along.

[High Marshal Sigfeird]

Not a bad start at all :D. But might i ask the torso looks a lil long too me, im guessing your gonna bulk it up ?

[Hyaenidae]

Do NOT bulk it out, man. Dornian BA's are cadaverous, not bloated. He's perfect.

Yeah I'm going to keep him lean and hungry looking. Still looking for a set of terminator shoulder pads I can use with this guy... in the bottom of the bits box some where... and I have 4 bits boxes!

[Bigger-than-Jesus]

The torso does however seem to be too long, I'd suggest shortening it

[High Marshal Sigfeird]

Really there THAT cadaverous ???

[carnosaur93]

hmm. i made the torsos on my truescale marines from normal torsos, too, not making it any wider. so the thin-look is puzzleing me... perhaps its the "belly" thats abit too long, yes? :x

 

ohh, and no matter how cadarvorous they get... i doubt the armor gets hungry and thin, too :D

[darthgus]

I think maybe adding a belt will break up the torso and differential between the upper torso and the hips.

then explain the current death guard, their armour got bloated and fat! ;)

thats all a matter of the diffrence btween implosion and explotion... or something xD

as the meat/flash inside becomes bloated the armour swells and buckles an bursts. all metal expands under heat and pressure ;)

[Hyaenidae]

And Chaos twists and bends both metal and flesh together. :D I stand by my opinion.

touché :D

and i stand by the fact that chaos or not... a tank-like powerarmor doesnt suddenly just go thin becouse of the wearer^^'... if it did, try to imagine the 1k-sons xD

 

but well, yeah, on a serious note, its all looking really promising, would just bulk the chest and 'belly' alittle bit, though, and add a belt... the ghoulish-ness could allways be portrayed with the poses, imo...

And how does a Daemon Prince's armour swell to 4 times it's size without buckling or breaking, while melding to his flesh? Chaos. Chaos corrupts all in it's own fascinating way (thin, bloated, or dust) and I believe darthgus has a wonderful interpretation of the Dornian BA's. Poses only go so far to give a model a certain feel. Yeah, add a thin flesh belt, maybe, but keep the gaunt look. He looks friggin awesome.

As much as I hate to see my beloved sons fall to the corrupting touch of the false Gods, I find myself... Intrigued. I request that thou post more pictures soon...

[darthgus]

Soon as I find those shoulder pads, I let him finished up.
