averykess Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Still a WIP (some parts are bluetac'd on, sword and scroll need cleanup, etc.) but this my new librarian: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4108/5036964325_69b242fc6d_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4132/5037583020_2c85ddf70a_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4092/5037582954_a705685248_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4113/5036964399_7a221e05a5_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan The Deamon Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 is he going to get an assault pack? I love the pose. That sword is sinister and the book/hood/cable combo is excellent. My only crit would be that he doesn't spell Raven Guard at this current stage. What are your plans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only crit would be that he doesn't spell Raven Guard at this current stage. What are your plans? I will probably magnetize it so he can either go drop pod or jump pack. I was thinking about putting this pack on him for drop pod deployment: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4019/4289303960_f9b170b4f0_z.jpg?zz=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celes Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 You have to tell me where you got that Kopis, right now. If you don't, something terrible will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 You have to tell me where you got that Kopis, right now. If you don't, something terrible will happen. It is a falcata (i know, pretty much the same thing), and I made it from plasticard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I would use the pack from the biker, that small detail would make him really say RG, as for a JP you might be able to find the RG HQ jumppack from FW on a bits site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDuke Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 He looks great, very stern and authoritative. The falcata looks great, and is that a bookmark?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorisBC Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 love the pose mate! Where did you get that book from? Oh I guess the blade is supposed to be that way around? From the angles, it initially looks like it's backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the angles, it initially looks like it's backwards. Thanks! The book is from the plastic Empire Flagellants. I bought a flagellants books and banners lot on ebay for a $2.50. The sword is a falcata like shown here: http://museumreplicas.com/p-219-falcata.aspx Great model there! Where did you get the horned skull shoulder pad from please? Thanks!

Certainly saves sculpting wings like those out of plasticard or whatever. Then again the jump pack on The Redeemer of The Lost has more aggressive looking wings that arch over the shoulders somewhat, you'd probably have to cut off the parchment that hangs from the bottom of the pack but I doubt that would be a problem for you. P.S. That Force Sword reminds me of a Bowie Knife, perfect for silently carving open the throats of fools in the dead of night... :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried fitting a Sang Guard pack on, but the intake vent is blocked by the psychic hood. I might be able to cut it off and mount in the top of the unit. The normal jump pack is a bit narrow for the hood, but I can probably widen the gap a bit without distorting the shape too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Here is an update to the model. Added the scroll cases, key, pouches, grenades, and glued everything up. Just some minor cleanup to do before the primer. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/5076508977_eab96876ea_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/5077103030_e8daf4fb98_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4107/5076509021_ece09ce88e_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4071/5076509067_c7427d617f_b.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4053/5076509113_b703903ba8_b.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popkhorne Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 wonderful model mate, only critique would be that the seal on his leg, while beautifully sculpted, could use a slightly smaller wax emblem(maybe just a slight tweak) nothing major but that part looks wierd to me idk. rest is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just a shout out that I think it would be an extremely rad detail if you added the ram-horns to the chest-plate skull as well. :) Looking incredibly good so far already though, the plasticard (I assume that's what it is anyway?) work is awesome! Something about the ankle-purity seal does look off though. Cheers, TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 One of the best librarians I have ever seen. I've been looking for some way of making the weapons of my next army abit unique, and you just solved it for me. Can't believe I didnt think of the falcata ^_^ And, btw, the Raven Guard-backpack, is that sculpted or is it some kind of plasticard or something? - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 And, btw, the Raven Guard-backpack, is that sculpted or is it some kind of plasticard or something? I carved one wing out of thick plasticard (well 3 pieces sandwiched together) and then made a mold of it. The wings on the backpacks are cast from resin using the Alumilite starter kit.

The key is all strip styrene. A very thin slice of a small diameter tube makes up the ring the chain is through (the bow), the shank is a piece of solid rod, the bit (the square toothy part) is a small piece of rectangular strip.
