scruff Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I always thought it seemed a little strange that Calgar would spend his time wandering around in a suit of terminator armour with an honour guard in whats basically some fancy power armour so I decided to have a go at putting him in a suit of power armour. So here goes, one thing I did notice though was once I'd added the hair the model did remind me a bit of William Shatner, my girlfriend agrees so I have a picture of the head at the end to let you decide for yourself. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/038.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/039.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/040.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/041.jpg Still a bit of tidying up to do before painting, especially around the belt tassles but please let me know what you think.

BassWave Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I thought Calgar was bald? :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212943-marneus-calgar/#findComment-2533488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger87 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nice, though you might have cannibalized the power armour Calgar for some of the parts. (fists perhaps, shoulder pads) Greenstuff work is great :mellow: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212943-marneus-calgar/#findComment-2533499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIST_OF_DORN Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Looking good, I always thought that the GW Calgar looked short and fat. You are right about him looking like William Shatner, it's almost like he is yelling KARN!!!!!

scruff Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Have finished the sculpting and most of the painting so I think it's about time for an update. http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/003.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/005.jpg http://i340.photobucket.com/albums/o322/scruffbc/006.jpg Can't seem to get a gold I'm happy with though, might try mixing some mithril silver in for another highlight.

The Normish Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 "Mr. Scott, engage Warp Drives!" I like it, it does look like William Shatner. Can't think of a criticism, so I'll ask what you're planning for the base?

celes Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Yeah, that's just so much better than the GW version that's been hanging around since like 3rd edition. This one actually looks like the same guy as the model wearing the armour of Antilochus, and I'm so glad you didn't stick some ridiculous back banner on him either. Oh, and thanks for sigging me Basswave! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/212943-marneus-calgar/#findComment-2548065 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scruff Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 What colors did you use for the blue? The whole thing is painted with necron abyss over a black undercoat, then regal blue, ultramarines blue and then the highlights are done by adding increasing amounts of space wolves grey with a final highlight of pure space wolves grey. Thank you everyone for the comments will hope to get him finished some time this week, not sure what I'll do with the base but I don't think it will be anything too dramatic.

Brother Tridon Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 have to say very impressive, But one question did you have to GS the left arm or could a normal space marine arm be used?
