*Riken* Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 A quick history about this WIP first then the pictures. Since the release of the codex I've been trying to field a character using the rules of Astorath because I really like them. However I really dislike his model (That armor is for the Lord of Death only in my mind), and his fluff is terrible to put it nicely. So after deciding to go with an Angels Sanguine army and wanting to use there Chapter Master this seemed perfect. Seeing how Astorath's rules are for him using a large two handed Axe, another suitably large 2 handed weapon was made to replace his axe, in this case a Glaive came to mind. pardon the low quality lighting, and less then amazing painting im better at modeling then painting and my army is only tabletop quality anyway. Still need to do some highlighting and touch up work and finish on the glaive, purity seals and rope work. Not sure what ill do for glaive, the blue lightning down the side is only a test. This is the WIP so far: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/sanity01/Warhammer/2011-03-16192925.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/sanity01/Warhammer/2011-03-16192957.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/sanity01/Warhammer/2011-03-16192948.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/sanity01/Warhammer/2011-03-16192938.jpg And Him next to a Thunder Hammer marine to compare the size of the Glaive http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v720/sanity01/Warhammer/2011-03-16193132.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224975-chapter-master-sentikan/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eorek Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 That's one big glaive:P... Though kinda explains it why he's running around with S6 Also it kinda reminds me of when my friend put a jagged wraithlord sword on his terminator lonewolf... : > But I mist say... at first glance I was thinking "Seth!" and not "Astorath!"...Nice model though:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224975-chapter-master-sentikan/#findComment-2691567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Looks awesome, really like the base to. The sword is massive compared to a Thunder hammer. :D Where did you get the sword from?

JamesI Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I like the model, well done on the glaive. So, how many of us use Astorath's rules to represent our chapter master? Seems like he's a common choice (I do the same thing) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224975-chapter-master-sentikan/#findComment-2691994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nathan Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 as do i... though i use his model too, but paintd gold instead...looks compleately different :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224975-chapter-master-sentikan/#findComment-2692065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Using Astorath's rules for a chapter master, I wish I had thought of that before. I really wish GW would give us a generic Chapter Master option in each codex, just like in C:SM.

Sanguinarian Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I like the model, well done on the glaive. So, how many of us use Astorath's rules to represent our chapter master? Seems like he's a common choice (I do the same thing) I use him as himself. His role is assisting my Knights of Blood to win back the love and respect of the High Lords of Terra. NOT!!! ;) I actually use him as he was dreamed up - to allow multiple DC units as well as performing MC & Tank Hunting with his PF/TH posse.

*Riken* Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Picked up another box of Sanguinary Guard yesterday and I'm already thinking of changing him around abit to make him more chapter master like. Winged Jump pack + SG torso maybe I think he needs an iron halo as well. In the pics its pretty clear i need to do more touch up work with the green stuff on the glaive its messy around the blade. thankfully there is no glue holding him together in the pictures its just pins so he is easy to change about.

Keyboard Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Maybe try adding some of those BA wings I've seen. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod680007a - Wings and/or Torso (Face on the bottom right guard would look nice on him. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod550016a - Wings http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1100005 - Torso I reckon that would make him look more chapter mastery :huh: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224975-chapter-master-sentikan/#findComment-2692931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
