Jokaero Weaponsmith's Iron Hands- Immortal

[Kraad Belak]

My descent into Heresy continues.

Using the short story Riven as an inspiration.

Those that follow are the beginnings of an Iron Hands command structure of shattered and bitter survivors of Isstvan V.

SLAEGUR

Now I mean this in the nicest possible way.

I hate you.

These are awesome, my jealousy is verging on violence.

[Daemon2027]

The champion is incredible. The details you have added to the design, the gorgon head, the circuit board hilt, everything is just amazing.

[Andvarr A]

Bloody hell joker....nice...

 

All the things awesome

 

Love the old school dread...reminds me of ED209

 

Edit: forgot to mention ...love the strog style servitor conversion too...

Thanks guys for the positive feed back

 

@ Luna707 your own Iron Hands have been incredibly inspirational so must I thank you

@Vairocanum I can honest say I had not considered a bolter round as I thought it would be an outright kill if it had done that much damage to the helmet but I think you could be onto something will seriously look into this

@ Feirros the bionics are from maxmini probably my favourite bionics even if the stock poses are some what awkward but they are great if your are not afraid to hack them up

@Andvarr A most of the credit for the old school dread can be laid squarely at the feet of IHF please take the time to have a look though his work

@ The Hydra and MikhalLeNoir for taking the time to write and for your positive feed back it means a lot .

@ Kraad Belaak thanks for the praise I think, seriously like you're avatar name would mind if I possibly used it for a character?

[Feirros]

@jokaero weaponsmith    Thanks for the help. It's always good to find a new source of bionics.

Damn, that's some nice sculpting. Damn.

 

New guy's pose and weapons are on point!

In the Space Wolf novels by William King, a sergeant got shot in the head which blew out a chunk of his skull leaving the brain exposed and he didn't die (but couldn't fight or even walk anymore). I don't know if this would fit in with current canon cause the Space Wolf series is pretty old. But looking at your guy the skull is still intact, so maybe the helmet took the brunt of the shot leaving him very very angry and with one hell of a headache.

Mate, I can assure you of one thing. Cheese is the greatest invention known to man or god.

 

That and it was 100% praise, you're killin me with how good those blokes look.

Use the name in any way you want mate, I'll just use the character as a display picture!

Sometimes there's an epic talent, and usually the story is told better because of epic work

[Dosjetka]

Goodness, I hate you. In the nicest way possible, of course.

 

What can we expect to see next? Also, paint? :D

SEE???

 

My reaction of hatred was entirely natural.

 

Also, I second the demand for paint.

I thought I would do a proper WIP for once for this guy.

So far I have roughed out the stance and the leg armor and have started adding detail to the upper thigh armor.

I have also roughed out the body armor and started detailing the exposed bionics below the damaged chest armor. I just wish the photos showed it a bit more, but hopefully you get the idea .

Got a pretty good back story fleshed out in my head for this guy which helps guide the design process as to how his armor would look and the detailing he would embellish his armor with prior to the head wound.

Any comments and criticisms welcomed.

[lionofjudah]

Good god that's amazing.…

[MikhalLeNoir]

Omg. Gimme that marine. I want it so bad for my own marines. Sooooooooo good.

I have progressed a bit further by have reached a cross road and I am unsure as to how to progress which do you guys think works best.

Do I have him with a shield which would allow me to have some chapter iconography, although after looking at these shots the shield needs to be up higher so he is glaring over it more and slightly tilted back over chest a bit more.

Or without the shield although the chain would need to loop up to his empty hand and I am not sure I have pulled off the damaged shoulder pad very well.

Either way I think I will do a chain loincloth and have a pipe running from the left of the helmet to his chest as it looks a bit bland.

[TheOneTrueZon]

If you keep the shield that will hide the damaged shoulder too much. I like the idea of the chain going to the other hand, might give you some colorful options for some decoration on the end of the chain. 

 

Also, what is your technique to keep the chain rigid? 

[Argent aquila]

That mini is INSANE i love it!

 

Definitely give him the shield, the customization you can do on it will be incredible.

[Black Cohort]

that mini is outstanding

[K0rtmer]

This is completely crazy. Fantastic posing, the sense of motion is almost surreal, like the picture was a frame of a video. Easily the best thing I've seen in the hobby in many months.

[Hrolf the Cunning]

In the nicest possible way - your stuff is ridiculous! Fantastic stuff. The posing and composition as well as the technical skill on display is awesome. A technical question with your greenstuff work, do you mainly build up in to the shapes you want or have more of a subtraction shaping of it (or a combination)? Either way you must have exceptional patience to get these guys looking like this.

I would go with a shield, really adds to the look. The chain is fantastic, looks like there is real weight behind it.

[Iron Hands Fanatic]

Looking awesome as always, I'd go with extending the chain to the second hand, sans shield - it really exposes the damaged pad (which looks great by the way) and if you angled the hand 90 degrees, it would give a real sense of momentum

[Teetengee]

The shield hides the strength of the pose, I would skip it.

[Andvarr A]

Wow....that's just wow....nice undead death cyber marine whatsit with a meteor hammer flail thing....

 

How did you get it to stay mid swing???

[Black Cohort]

Maybe a smaller shield would work better? Then you could still see the damaged shoulder pad but have the awesomeness that a shield brings to the model.
