My Flesh Tearer Blog (Yes another one)

[Edit] Instead of creating another post I thought I would just stick all my Flesh Tearer stuff in here!

 

I dont know why but the stock Seth model just does not do it for me, so I thought I would make my own.

 

Does he look like Seth though???? Would you know who he was straight away if I plonked him onto the table, let me know!

In every game I have played, as long as you specify what a model is before the game gets going, the opponent usually lets you do it. I sometimes forget to point something small out, and usually my opponent just nods because it is something like an extra Infurnus Pistol that I marked out on the army list but don't have WYSIWIG.

 

For example, I have 4 assault marines totting around bolt guns because I don't have enough melta guns and have not bought any more, I am also coming up with fluff about my priests because I used the sanguinary guard kit to make them and they don't have tools of an apothecary. I have a friend who plays nids, and in one game he left a hand full of gaunts at home and we let him proxy them with coins

 

I never liked the seth model either, I don't like marines without helm and he appears to be staring open mouthed as a butterfly goes by while he was in mid swing.

 

You model is awesome. I love the company champion shoulders, and the sword looks about right for a rending two handed chain sword. I would actually suggest working away the grenade in his hand. That way he appears to have swung with his sword, but is now about to sock someone in the face, which is what his rules says he does.

 

I might not think "seth" immediately, but if you put him down and said: "he is seth," I would look at him and go "yep."

Thanks for the replies guy's

Having a good look at him this is exactly what I did. ;)

 

I also did not like the chainsword it was a bit bent at the end plus you could still see the join mark, but the length was fine I think it was just the angle that the photo was taken makes it look realy too long.

 

So I got rid of that and changed it for a more Imperial looking one, plus I changed the brass colour from the shoulder pads and added a purity seal, as he just looked (I dont know) just a bit chaos warrior'ish. The length of the blade is just smaller than the original one I had, but still looks big enough to be two handed.

 

I know hes still work in progress here but its the only photo I have of him where it shoes the colours well.

"Cough" This a quick drawing I did of my Seth in 5 mins! :)

I really like your Seth model mate, I agree much nicer than the gw model. I love the grittness youve captured and the fact his IQ drastically increased and he put on a helmet haha. I like his weapon too the yellow really adds to the model however while i prefer that wepon to your original one i thing a double bladed weapon would have been preferable. Also I think that using a pair of legs from the DC sprue may have added some extra nice detail to the lower half of the model.

 

I'm being very picky here justs trying to give some constructive thoughts but not to take away from the fact that youhave made a nice simple conversion with a nice paint job to boot. You should be really happy with that piece.

I just could not put him down, I dont know I think I have that problem when I keep looking at my figures and think if I change this or ad that he will look better!

Does anyone else have this problem with there models!

I can now look at him and think there's nothing else I can do to him, so this is my truely finished Seth!

I did like the helm but ou have also done the head well. I know you say youve finished but I think you should get some rope or chain like pieces and use them to stick the helmet on his side so he actually carries it with him and the the model would be just.. perfect.

Well another up date from me Ive managed to paint 3 yes thats a whole 3 Death Company and I have nine of these to paint, Ive only taken (crappy) pics of the finished ones as all of these models have been painted up all sorts of chapters so I will spare you the horrid eye pain!

http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s26/MRCHAOS001/DSC01629.jpg

Set up for these will be :

1x Power Fist

2x Power weapons

Plus Chaplain with Inferno Pistol, all in a nice Rhino!

 

Then I move onto my Dread with magnetized arms

Then the Scouts, Ive used the FW heads on them and added grenades and pouches all over them, I thought about doing there armour red but then thought these guy's are supposed to go behind enemy lines so went with the all black

I have a whole cabinet full of models that need painting so....... I better get my ass in gear

So far looking good and your progress is coming along quite nicely, the only question I would have for you is the shoulder pads on Gabriel. I've seen them every so often and would like to know what you had to do to attempt such a feat? If you could let me know I would greatly appreciate it :tu:

Hey Arctic, Those pads are from the Command Squad box.

 

Oh and to MRCHAOS I like them so far But One thing I think would make the non-DC members look better would be to make the Chest Eagles black instead of the same colour as the rest of the armour.
