pingo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I love the Sicarius model, but wanted to depict him in a much more dynamic pose. So ... First real attempt to sculpt a cape here. Highlights are a bit untidy, but hey, it's not supposed to be looked at close-up :lol: Hope you enjoy this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Nice work! That first view really helps make your figure look dynamic. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 My biggest complaint with the Sicarius model is it is horrifyingly static, a problem which you sir have completely solved. Your Sicarius is far better than the standard version and was superbly done! I like it a lot, I only wish I had the capability to do something similar.

Alpha PTP Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Awesome looking model, pingo. Congrats on getting them featured on the Games Workshop news letter. Â I really like how the blue looks. Some of the highlights on the cloak look a little off, but that might be from some of the faults in how you resculpted it. Nice to see someone paint Ultramarines and make them look good. I'm sure you spent a fort night doing the converting for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLD Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Absolutely great model - GW take note - this is how Sicarius should have been done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyanamiKun Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I like him! I will do a Sicarius at some point, too. Hopefully I will develop some modelling skills until then Great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherZaah Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Woah! that's awesome. I always liked the pic of hi in the codex over his pose and that conversion is picture perfect. Do you have any WiP pictures? or a method of how you reposed such a static lump of metal? Â Respect, Â BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotsmeakabob!! Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Oh wow, this guy is really really awesome. Ditto what BrotherZaah said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Lacerus Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Brilliantly done. I think this suits Sicarius very well as he is suppose to be quite the swordsman. Looks like he is eager to get to grips with the enemy. Very well done indeed. Â Captain Lacerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 have you realy converted all the metal part? or did you "just" rebuild the body?? Â in any case it's just, amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Even GW likes it! He actually looks like the Space Marine uber-hero he is and not just a statue standing there looking dead. Do you have any WIP photos? Do you remember how you did it?

tiny sam Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 you should make a diorama with broken Ruins and use the GW's model to make a statue of him, like he's protecting a monument dedicated to him, just to complete the slap :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belchuil Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Not to nit-pick, but unless he decided to swap hands mid battle, his sword sheath/scabbard is on the wrong side :) . Â But nvertheless, AWESOME conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingo Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys :) Â The conversion work was pretty tricky, but after a long time spent studying the model I worked out that I could cut off the things dangling between his legs (so to speak ... ), saw the arms away and saw the front of the torso off more or less intact. I could not save any of the legs, arms, and cape and so they were sacrificed. Â The legs are from the Sanguinary Guard kit, and I filed some of the plastic away so I could green stuff the ridged leg armour. The front of the original torso was glued to a standard back and green stuff was used to smooth it all out. The left shoulder pad was the hardest work as I had to carve out the slot for his arm to fit in. The rest of the bits are standard plastic ones except the plasma pistol and obviously the helmet and backpack. The cape is entirely green stuff. Â @HJL: considering there are two shots here that didn't appear on the GW site, I'll let you figure it out. Can't help but feel pretty insulted by that comment. Wow.

Shaun Carlin Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 EMPERORS TEETH!! Â Thats some serious converting there and I wish there was an option for Sicarius to be in a pose that isnt just standing still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Valerius Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 He looks great! Apparently unlike most people, I'm very fond of the default pose for the model (he looks very lordly and commanding in that pose, exactly how I imagine him to be), but you have really done a superb job of making it your own and coming up with something that is unique, yet still on par with the beautiful original pose. Major props for this amazing effort! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Emperor's Champion Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 LOL I just converted a new Agemman (Kantor counts-as) model the other day and he has the exact same pose, I used Sicarius' helmet,and he just has his gun and melee weapon in opposite hands. I even immediatly recognized the Sanguiniary Guard legs because I used the same ones ^_^ Â Â Very nicely done, sir. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sensei Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Great job, the best Sicarius I've seen so far. Â DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorsaxe Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Props to you sir for this conversion you can see the hard work and thought that went into it. Tho the sicarius model that I always liked was the one with the pair of LCs. If that one could be done in a running/charging pose that would be bad a$$, like the SW wolf guard that GW brought out several months back. But your version sir is crazy good.
