JasoX Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Desided to turn these into a deathwatch project using grey knights codex. Regular Gk minis will be purifiers. Death company will take the role of interceptors. Blood and Dark angel minis will be strike squads. Backround of my xenos hunting forces. They operate somewhere along the Halo Stars and are mostly drafted from the ranks of Storm Wardens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I like the cannon conversion you got there, my only gripe is how squat the dread looks. Other than that, cant wait to see it painted :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Is that a las or assault cannon? If it's an AC, you'll have to change the end so there are 6 barrels, cause it looks like a multi-laser right now.... Otherwise looking good, the sarcophagus conversion looks nice, as do the claws. Redepositioning the legs into something more dynamic would look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firepower Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Interesting dread. I actually like the end of the AC, though I'd shorten the whole gun by about half. Even if the gun has 6 barrels it only shoots from the same stationary one, so having it come to a single point is no worry. As for the marine, a dark color scheme on an ashen/blackish base might not be the best way to go. You generally want contrast between the model and the base so they don't just blur into one another from anything more than a few feet away.

Redepositioning the legs into something more dynamic would look great. Hey Verp, A AC is nothing more then a high caliber min-igun. As mentioned above only one barrel fires, the rest spin to cut the heat by 1/6th just on mechanical design alone. add the wind flow over the heated metal and you gain more then that. However, if you have a fix barrel to a "tip" it allows the rounds to leave the barrel without any rotational inertia from the spinning barrels.

I try to lighten it a bit, something more whiter i suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Dallo Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I think you should lose the bionicle parts... The head is nearly longer than his leg. :) However I am a fan of that close combat weapon. What are the claws made from please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the claws made from please? i chopped old dozer blade for the claws. yea, the head is huge :) still experimenting. i think it looks better when i removed leg plating and lowered the body 5mm. still trying to figure what to do with the head.

Firepower Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 I agree, it was way better off before. The Bionicle bitz just aren't a good fit, physically or aesthetically :P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
