templarboy Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hiya fellas. I am asking for more advice. For my Flesh Tearers Army I want to make models for all the special characters. I have done this for my vanilla marines and I enjoy the challenge. However, Mephiston is throwing me a curve. I want to build a completely vicious looking librarian with a plasma pistol and a big sword. Somehow I feel that won't be enough though. What would your expectations be for a "counts as" Mephiston? I want to be completely WYSIWYG. I am planning on using all plastic parts from the DA, DC and SG kits. Any ideas?

Gv0zD Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Mate, I wanna do the same thing :D I was thinking of SG armor, DC power sword, cape from commander sprue. As for the head and psychic hood, I think I'll have to make of green stuff, as there are no bits I can think of that can be used.

SamaNagol Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Well for WYSIWYG purposes, he is a normal sized marine with a plasma pistol and a force weapon. That's all you need to model. Other than that knock yourself out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231643-mephiston-counts-as-query/#findComment-2786871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfDeathXIII Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 IMHO it's kind of a must that you're able to see his face.... Glowing eyes ftw :D Furthermore I'd suggest you use one of the force weapons from the Grey Knights.. Those look mean.... I'm planning on assembling a (third) Sanguinary Guard squad, equipped with only Grey Knight weapons.

knife&fork Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I've always been tempted to get a 28mm version of Bela Lugosi. But that now that they've tuned down the vampire aspect it isn't as funny anymore. On a more serious note you could take a look at the various empire kits. Plenty of heads there that are nicely scaled to use on marines, I've used a lot on my scouts.

Hellrender Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Grey knight power armour kits have psychic hoods on them.. Saves some greenstuff + you get some mean looking weapons with it.

Mr Yellow Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I sense a competition in the offing. How about we all go off and do our own mephiston stand ins using all the kits stated by the OP, green stuff and our imagination. Post our results in say a month?

templarboy Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Great ideas guys. I am going to dive into this this weekend. Some buzzsaws for accessories and a bare face for transfixin'. This should be fun. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231643-mephiston-counts-as-query/#findComment-2787152 Share on other sites More sharing options...

syypher Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hmm...well I know the mold lines are still there one some parts but thats because I'm not 100% done preparing those parts yet but...I wanted my Meph evil "Lord of Death" looking, badass looking, WYSIWYG, and with a BIG sword that made Clouds sword from Final Fantasy look normal ;) http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-3..._Mephiston.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231643-mephiston-counts-as-query/#findComment-2787836 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Wasn't that a black library inquisitor model, one of those people on 'drug'-bay like to charge insane amounts of money for? I am going to cheat a little on this, I kit bashed a mephy last night from DC and SG boxes and didn't like it, so I am going to use a termi and green stuff as the basis of the model with plastic bits to finish off. Here we are: Very WIP, lots of green to be used, may change weapons too, I just like power fists hence this one but I'm thinking there will be lightning and some cloak action too.

Brother Kovash Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 You're going to need a cape for this guy as well. If you're not that good with greenstuff, try a cape from the WHFB Chaos Warriors box.

Warboss John Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My brother bought a custom Chaos lord from Rertibution-Angel, and the guy used the new plastic Dameon Prince sword for the weapon, and i gotta say its pretty fly! ;) and i think would work well as a Sanguine Sword in action :woot: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/231643-mephiston-counts-as-query/#findComment-2788743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 Wip cape action: A lot of sins will be covered by his overcoat once these bits have cured.
