Ripper.McGuirl Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 It was fun to build this guy and not have to worry about it being table-top legal. I tried to stay pretty close to the official DW color scheme: Blacked out everything, plain steel decoration, minimal chapter trappings. I figure his helmet is special because it's actually a diagnosticator helm, and the little blood drops are actually healing salves. I also made all his vials plain steel, since glass seems kind of exposed. Oh, and the weapon he's armed with is an eviscerator ported over from Blood of Martyrs to Deathwatch...very mean in the hands of a frenzied, flesh rending, furious assaulting beast with a brutal WS. Hope you like him! http://ripper.everettconsulting.com/Miniatures/ZoraelFront.jpg http://ripper.everettconsulting.com/Miniatures/ZoraelRight.jpg http://ripper.everettconsulting.com/Miniatures/ZoraelBack.jpg http://ripper.everettconsulting.com/Miniatures/ZoraelLeft.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen_2 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Not a fan of long explanation :P, but great model! I like his obsession with chainsaw-like objects. You have more guys like these because I would love to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper.McGuirl Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 The nice thing about pics is that you can scroll right past the boring text if you want! Glad you like him. I don't have any more like him, he's the only character I'm playing in our Deathwatch campaign. If he dies (again...), I will probably model a new one for whatever character I end up playing.

Rafen_2 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I was just kidding about the explanation. I feel that the model should justify itself without you having to say why you choose everything beside how cool it looks. And hate to sound mean but I hope he dies some more so we can see some more great models.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I like the explanation. And the model. the helm makes him look kinda creepy though, almost necronish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Scipio Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Should be a nice character in a group, who doesnt want a Flesh Tearer to treat your wounds? Nice model btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olgerth Istaarn Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I like everything about him except for the way he holds his bolter. It's awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripper.McGuirl Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Beef, Scipio, Roone3y: Thanks dudes! Arne: Well, he's YOUR fault. I saw your army on these boards and decided that I needed to model a flesh tearer...so thanks! Olgerth: Yeah, I agree, it's awkward. I liked that arm, but didn't have the bits around for a mechanical hand, so I kept the straight chainsword grip on it, which I think is making it look weird...anyone got a spare left bionic hand?

Olgerth Istaarn Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I've actually built a bolter guy with that same bionic arm, holding a bolter and pointing it straight forward. The key is to 1) point the arm straight forward as opposed to slightly raised and 2) shave off a little bit from the hand and a little bit from the bolter's underside, and the bolter ends up aligned with the arm. Slap on a purity seal or something similar to disguise the shaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee265 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I'd love to see a full army done up in this volor scheme because it feels a bit more inspired then just standard deathwatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJL Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Wow, thats an apothecary?! I suppose he could scare the downed space marines into fighting again :angry: nice job though, he looks cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
