BobaHat Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi all, Thought I'd show you all my Vladimir Pugh mini. This is how I always pictured him; modest and reserved but still radiating authority with nothing more than a boltgun and a chainsword (even though it's a pretty big one). I've tried to create a rusty, ancient effect on the chainsword, but I'm not sure if it worked... What do you all think? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/pugh1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/pugh3.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/pugh2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 That's pretty awesome. I think I should point out tho the Pugh is actually in the current Codex. Look at the picture in the Chapter Master entry. He has what appears to be 2 one-handed Thunder Hammers, and an Auxiliary Grenade Launcher under his left wrist. Of course that doesn't mean he couldn't use a Bolter and Chainsword sometimes if he wants to. Lord knows Sicarius changes wargear enough.... I think this is the first use of the Techmarine body I've ever seen that wasn't on a Techmarine. Looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaHat Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 I beg to differ. The hammer-wielding Calgar clone pictured in the Codex is not, never was and never will be Vladimir Pugh. He may be some other Chapter Master from another period, but he is not Pugh. If you read the fluff on Pugh, it just doesn't fit to have him tumbling head first drooling into battle with a pair of lightning-covered caveman clubs. This is how he would be armed in my opinion. Thanks for the comment. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Then again, it IS the Chapter Master Of The Imperial Fists (it's not Kantor) in a Codex section that is otherwise free of historical characters... The evidence pretty clearly points to it being Pugh. And being a Calgar clone is a GOOD thing. That's like being the clone of a god. It means he's a badass. I just find it funny that the Chapter Masters for the two most Codex Chapters are the only ones who got the memo about 5th edition requiring two Power Fists/Thunder Hammers in order to get a bonus attack. One of the benefits of leading the Chapters that everyone else is based on, I guess B) But whatevs. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old git Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 As far as the chainsword goes, ancient - yes, rusty - never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Kind of agree with old Git, if something is ancient in a space marines armory, then it's revered by techmarines and properly maintained. in fact it should be the exact opposit, Ancient, revered and properly decorated! (just add some purity seal and/or decoration) with a model of such quality I would definitivly a put a new model bolter (I kind of hate the old one) and if he's stubborn enough to stick with a bolter even if his rank give him acces to the most master crafted combi weapon, it's probably the same bolter he got as a scout. Good job on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Nice to see the Chapter Master of my parent Chapter represented so well. If I do have one criticism, it's that his armor seems to be speckled with white or something, and it makes him look like some sort of cream-gone-bad. As for the armaments, wasn't there a description of him in some BL book with the twin Thunder-Hammers? Although I think he's smart enough to occasionally switch out weapons.

I'm pretty sure I've heard that, but I don't know what book that was and I've certainly not read it yet....I might own it though, if it's "Sons Of Dorn".

Firepower Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 You can tell he's an IF because he's skilled in looking down his nose and down his sights at the same time. Only a son of Dorn humilates and condescends as he purges :rolleyes: . Nice looking model man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 He has that perfect aura of authority and pride/arrogance that really fits the IF. I remember seeing something sort of like that on either a guard HQ or an inquisitor or something. Great, this going to be bothering me all week.(bashes head against wall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Lacerus Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (Dusts off copy of Sons of Dorn) The following is the wargear Chapter Master Pugh is outfitted with in Sons of Dorn and Thunder Hammers are no where to be found. Artificer-armour, iron halo, master-crafted power sword. There is another fourm around here we had this same discussion in. Guess he just switches to whatever loadout he is feeling, like any Chapter officer can. Hope this helps. Seems like alot of people around here really want to believe he duals wields hammers lol. Maybe he does maybe he doesnt. But in the end it doesnt matter how you model him cuz he can take a pair of razor-bladed toothpicks if he wants to so nice model man. Keep it up.

The Emperor's Champion Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 It's not necessarily Sons Of Dorn where it says that. That doesn't actually sound right to me, but it was the only IF story I could think of. More probably it'll be one of the short stories in Heroes Of The Space Marines or Legends Of The Space Marines. Like I said: Of course that doesn't mean he couldn't use a Bolter and Chainsword sometimes if he wants to. Lord knows Sicarius changes wargear enough....

Gothical Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 A huge chainsword that (in game terms at least) could count as a Relic Blade? Yeah, that seems very fitting. I'm a fan of that model :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry im a bit confused now. I wasnt mocking you or anything that was me actually dusting off my copy of Sons of Dorn and thats the real description of his gear. But maybe I took or read your post wrong. Captain Lacerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaHat Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 I actually use the chainsword as a Relic Blade. :) Thanks for the comments. I'd love some critique on the paint job itself as I'm not 100% happy with this mini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 That is an amazing model! Very arrogant and rightly so! He is a Fist after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrion Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 edited for repetition... I like the idea of the mightiest warrior in the chapter still using (games wise) rubbish weapons. For rules you could always count it as a Relic Blade (oh...you already do) and bolter with hellfire rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny sam Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 may be a red wash to make the yellow ritcher! beautiful model I realy like the chest plating, do you have photo of the WIP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaHat Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm afraid I didn't take any. But I can tell you the bits I used: - Techmarine body - Generic Space Marine left arm - Knights of Chaos right arm - One of the heads from the Masters of the Chapter minis - 2x Chainswords - 2nd ed Boltgun - Generic Space Marine backpack - Metal Imperial Fist shoulder pad - Company Champion shoulder pad - A few bits from the Black Templar kit - Crotch guard from the Terminator kit - Generic sergeant banner - Eagle wings from an old sergeant banner pole - Eagle top from Banner Bearer standard - Purity Seals - Wings from the High Elf warriors/spearmen kit - Iron halo from the commander kit - Green stuff (cloak, furline, loincloth, chest eagle, bottom of the IF gauntlet symbol). That's about it... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I like the idea of the mightiest warrior in the chapter still using (games wise) rubbish weapons. Well Rogal Dorn himself did use a Chainsword and Bolt Pistol, he could have had anything in the armoury but he prefered the ol'chainsword-bolt pistol combo because he was familiar with it.

BobaHat Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 @SanguiniusReborn: That's actually where I got the idea from. I've loosely based the Chainsword on the one carried by Dorn in the HH artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
