Pea Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Just thought I'd post this here for my 'comeback'. While not strictly a model for a Power Armour army I thought I'd share this. This is going to be the leader of my Traitor Guard army. I figured the rules for Col. Iron Hand Straken fit nicely with Space Marine rules so why not model him as a Chaos Marine?

My GS skills are not up to sculpting new boots and I quite like the low-tech feel this gives. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phebrickid Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I think its great, but from an aesthetics point of view I think the helmet on his belt there makes him look a bit crowded. I think the low-tech boots look pretty good, and the idea of having the traitor guard being led by a chaos marine is also pretty awesome - are you going to make him a whole squad or have him as a solitary marine amongst the expendable guard?

Pea Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Solitary marine amongst expendable guard exactly. I see him as the architect behind a Chaos uprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I like him. An easy way to give the boots a more high-tech feel might be to take a peice of plasticard and glue to the underside of the boots. That way you get them to look more like PA-boots as well as giving him some height. - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mek Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I like the idea; Straken's stat-line is more marine-like than most marines anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing more. By the way, where did that backpack banner come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Awesome Straken counts-as. I plan on doing something similar in the near future. Oh and I believe that back banner is from the WHFB Flagellants box right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys! @Mad Mek: that is what I thought. :tu: @Mr.Malevolent: it is indeed the back banner from the Empire Flaggelants. It's a great little kit for Chaos Marine bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
