lilloser Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Cheeky post, I thought i;d put this here as well. I've been commissioned to sculpt the legion's primarch. Only now do I feel it is presentable enough to show W.I.P pics of. http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x450/LilLoser2011/P1000914.jpg LilLoser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Byhlli Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Genuinely interested to see how this turns out. Also, I'd appreciate any close-shots you can manage of details on the model. Show off your handiwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Theseus Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Is he wielding the Spear of Telesto from James Swallow's novels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glendor Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Well the spear of telesto is not just from the novels but in the actual fluff so yes he is but dont look down on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking down on it, even if it was from the novels. I actually rather enjoyed the first two James Swallow books... But not so much the later ones for obvious reasons.

Glendor Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Sorry about that then everyone here seems to hate them to the point of mentioning them is heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaster lisander Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 WOW, thats all i have to say about what you have so far, well done cant wait to see it finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Looking good, not how I envisaged him but the work itself is excellent. Do you have any other larger photos? Would love to get a look at the finer details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Truely epic work, I love the sculpt for the body! Where did you find the wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I hate to be critical but he seems to have rather womanly hips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skawolf Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I would say that the model looks utterly fantastic. It is very ellegant, but I think that is where it's flaw starts to show, I think it is so ellegant to the point that it is aproaching the point of looking a bit to elven (or eldar...ish?). Either way though, it's a hell of a lot better than i could sculpt/convert our primarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgerth Istaarn Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Is he barefoot? Seriously? Don't get me wrong, the sculpt is awesome. But it is WAY too fey. It's more Fulgrim than Sanguinius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLΠFLY Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 High ranking Blood Angels veterans often have skeletal bones superimposed on their boots... Astorath, Lemartes, Dante, etc. I wish I had sculpted the bones on my Sanguinary Guard boots. I find the image of the sculpt fascinating. It is unique and works for me. I want one. :huh: G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMac Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 uhhhh... wow! This is awesome. The armor itself is brilliant. My only critique, the wings look a little like butterfly or fairy wings to me. Some a little more "angelic" would seem to fit the fluff more, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billuriye Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I hate to be critical but he seems to have rather womanly hips. Those are thigh pads' extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 uhhhh... wow! This is awesome. The armor itself is brilliant. My only critique, the wings look a little like butterfly or fairy wings to me. Some a little more "angelic" would seem to fit the fluff more, IMHO. That may be because of the dual sets of wings, and actually, the bible scripture describes angels as having different types, statuses and forms. The Seraphim, the warrior angels that the BA are (loosely) based off of, did have four wings. They may have even had six, but I may be mixing them up with another kind of angel, since my grasp on theism is vague and shaky at best. There may be someone more steeped in biblical lore around to go into further detail but I know for a fact that there are more than just the two-winged cherubs you see on tv and movies.

In Christian Heaven there are Three Spheres. In the First Sphere are Angels, the lowest ranking of Heaven's Officials. They are messengers to Earth and are depicted with one set of wings or with no wings at all looking like a normal human. Next rank is Archangels but still in the First Sphere. The Third Sphere are where the Cherubs and Seraphims are. Cherubs have four faces (man, lion, something something) and four wings. Seraphims have 6 wings on fire. Everything inbetween is administration with ranks like "Powers", "Virtues" and "Dominions". All different ranks of the Second Sphere. So essentially, all Blood Angels are messengers. And that message would be "Death, Death, DEATH!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barduck Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I wonder what kind of stats one would give to him and what his special "powers" could be. Eternal warrior for sure but for the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustonT Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 The wings do look a bit wonky, but nothing that can't befixed based on the rest of the model. It's not so much that there are to sets, its the angles between them. Overall a great sculpt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deschenus Maximus Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I think it's fantastic, but I too am not keen on the 4 wings. Keeping the larger ones and removing the smaller ones would up the badassness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperors Immortals Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Wow, cannot wait to see this painted up. Dont change a thing - this is the only Sanguinus sculpt ive ever said looked just right IMO - the grace and power of the Emperor himself is personified in him and i think its perfectly done.
