Alaitoc Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Hi! As some of you know I have a Blood Ravens army being painted to tabletop standard, and as accurate to the look of the gameplay in DoW 1 and 2 as possible. Therefore, I decided to do a model of Gabriel Angelos after Retribution, as Chapter master of the blood ravens. This is my reference: http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110408175010/warhammer40k/images/thumb/c/c8/Gabriel_Angelos.png/350px-Gabriel_Angelos.png And here's the result: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/3e4ccc75.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/4cae2a88.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y129/Gorthor/f87b72c0.jpg I hope you guys like him!

Reyner Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nice :P Always my favourite Blood Raven (Tarkus is 2nd) How have you managed to do the bionics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaitoc Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Nice :D Always my favourite Blood Raven (Tarkus is 2nd) How have you managed to do the bionics? Thanks! The bionics is just plain old greenstuff and mediocre sculpting skills :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 That model is beautiful, the lightning on the hammer is really well done and the Blood Ravens chapter badge looks fantastic, especially on the cloak. And if that's tabletop standard then I seriously need to try harder!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Dead on! The only thing I'm not a fan of are the robed legs, if he didnt have a cape it would look fine but now it looks like he has too much cloth :D might trip himself up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Just yesterday I was saying to myself "I wish someone would make a Blood Ravens army." I'm glad that there's one in production, I personally love that Chapter. That model looks great, I think that the robed legs and cape actually work together quite nicely. You should definitely do Dreadnought Thule, he was my favourite character after Angelos. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigon Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 He looks great. The only thing is in the reference picture his right shoulder plate (from his point of view) has the extended trim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaitoc Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Aaaah, man! Thank you for all the kind feedback you've given me! Some of you might be right about stuff like the robe, shoulderplate etc. but in the ending in retribution, in my head he still got his mantle, and his legs are covered with robes. Tigon, you're right about that extended shoulderplate! Didn't think about that actually... He's finished now anyway, so I don't think I'll change something right now. For all of you that are curious at my army, you can check it out here: My blood ravens army Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 He's awesome dude, I think you've captured him really well. You thinking of anymore named characters? Perhaps Cyrus could be a counts as Telion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't appear in the Space Marine campaign at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 He appears in the end actually and Diomedis(Bruuuvvvaaaaaa I am hit!!!!!)recovers whats left of him...A torso with a head and all limbs missing... Very nice convertion!!!You have captured the spirit of the ending quite nice there!Though i would have added some bionics into his hands too.But leave him as he is he is just too nice!

FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hey Alaitoc, nice conversion. One question though, how hard was it to get the marine commander's torso to fit the DA robed legs? I ask because I want to have my DA captain wearing robes, but also wearing the cloak from the commander boxed set. The robed legs come with the rear of the torso attached, I suppose it would take a fair bit of cutting and filling to get the cloak to fit, am I right?

grimz Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Where is the hammer from? I'm trying to do something similar for a Coteaz conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
