Gorlak Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm looking for some thoughts on my idea about using the Sanguinary Guard wings (which I'm not a huge fan of on the jump packs...) as the basis for storm shields. As these are generally very useful items for the Vets and Honour Guards, I wanted to run a mock up by you guys - http://lh6.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TKCqBW2cdMI/AAAAAAAAB3Y/W9Pj3YhOEqw/SS_01.png I was planning on using the full wing for a long shield look, but thought it would look to large and unweildy on jump pack based assault troops - thus the cut down approach seen here. Thinking of making the back from simple plasti-card and smooth down the wing accordingly. What do you guys think? Cheers, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorlak Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Brothers of the B&C, your speed of response never ceases to amaze! :D I spent a good while last night trying to find that thread Maximvs, clearly my search foo had left me. I had the idea when I first saw the wings and wasnt convinced for use on jp's - your images confirmed it for me and now I've actually gotten around to trying it myself. Scalpels will be out tonight hopefully...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I don't like the wings for regular Jump-Packers, only for some special/flavouros (spelling?) character, like Lemartes (darker crow-style ones) or Sanguinius (angelic ones). I'm glad if the pictures could help you ;) Please, post images from your progress, I love to see that you want to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Macab Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 cool idea! they would be good for Deathwing (bad pun) storm shields. but they would also be good for blood angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorlak Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well, from Photoshop mock-up to first prototype - sorry for the image quality, they're very quick iPhone snaps as I left for work... http://lh3.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TKG07U0QjDI/AAAAAAAAB3s/KMM2aZGvLGI/s400/Photo%20Sep%2028,%2010%2008%2022.jpg http://lh5.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TKG07zkEv-I/AAAAAAAAB3w/7B9MEsagSuY/s400/Photo%20Sep%2028,%2010%2008%2054.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TKG08J726YI/AAAAAAAAB30/YMlw3_cCc_Q/s400/Photo%20Sep%2028,%2010%2012%2034.jpg http://lh4.ggpht.com/_zKsz5mPpXKQ/TKG08EyOlDI/AAAAAAAAB34/ajAckrZmXIc/s400/Photo%20Sep%2028,%2010%2017%2058.jpg I'm quite happy so far, just have to think about how much extra detail might go on. My main concern now is how to conceal or icorpoate magnets into the appropriate arms of the marines who will have these. A large round disk in the form arm may look a bit out of place in the fine suit of blood angel battle plate...! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
