Gawain Veteris Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Thanks for the encouragements guys :) Kay: I'm pleased by your compliments :) I was thinking of doing a tutorial at some point soon regarding capes as I have developed a method which I believe works very well and allows one to sculpt very complicated folds and wind directions into the cloak with relative ease. I will keep you all posted on such a tutorial. As for the Ingo Pech project, he is finished and photographs will follow later this evening as soon as my camera is recharged. Now the real challenge begins; The depiction of Alpharius/Omegon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawain Veteris Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ingo Pech is now finito. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/014.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/012-1.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/010-1.jpg http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/006.jpg I have also had a break through with how Alpharius should look. In true Alpha Legion form the answer was right there in front of me the whole time! I said earlier that the character on the front cover of Legion, secrets and lies was Omegon masquerading as Alpharius and not Alpharius himself. Accordingly it didn't occur to me that it works both ways. That is it didn't matter that it wasn't technically Alpharius, that's what Alpharius was supposed to look like, therefore I am going to build a marine who is a head or so taller than Ingo pech. The project is already well under way. My only concern is that I want to put him on a base the same size as Pech's but according to the tournament he's meant for he needs a 40mm base. The problem is that he looks stumpy on a 40mm base. Proportionally smaller would have been fine but he just looks stumpy :P So now we move onto Alpharius... the real Alpharius... based on a photograph of Omegon... you get the point! http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/017.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Ingo Pech looks seriously awesome, i love the subtle conversion of the helmet and the armour sections such as the knee, as they give the whole model an extra dimension. Looking forward to Alpharius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrum Vinco Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 For Pech, if its not too late, you should consider haveing the cape be bigger and streach accross more. Now it looks like a big cloth attached to the shoulder guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathnid Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 maybe you should base him up with rocks n stuff so he looks even taller and if the peak of the pillar is about the same size as a 20mm base he wont look as stumpy and he'll look even taller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigger-than-Jesus Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Wow, Pech looks great. As was said though, the cape looks a little small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawain Veteris Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 On other models like Sicarius or Honour guards the cloak is ornamental, this cloak is small for the purposes of what the guy who commissioned me calls 'cloak and dagger'. I would have preferred to have made the cloak longer but I think it's important for the pose of the model. Thanks guys for your fine words ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloaks used for duelling normally were weighted in the bottom, as an aside, dunno how you'd convey that in a model though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 i really like the cape and i see the idea. the Pech model is wonderful. for Alpharius i think he should really be a bit bigger, i know he is a short primarch (as they go) but he is still massive. in Legion im sure at one point it states that a guards noticed the height difference whe he saw alpharus. still other than my pickiness i think its coming along very well.

Gawain Veteris Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 You're correct Sword Brethren. As I remember it Cheyan of the Lucifer Blacks notices twelve characteristic differences between Pech and 'Alpharius' and that 'Alpharius' is a full head higher using the guy ropes as a scale. Your point is a good one, he should be huge, and for an astartes the model is pretty huge haha though I felt it important to keep the stealthiness about him, that is I want him to be near indistinguishable from a normal marine at first glance. That first glance may save him losing a wound, or even his last wound to a vindicare or telion stand in or something similar. So at first glance he must appear as normal but when observed more closely he will be larger and he will have certain distinguishing features such as hydra iconography on his cuirass and shin joints, the symbols will be reversed (on the opposite shoulder pads) to pech and he will have two ropes instead of one, etc. Today I added more structure and he looks taller already haha, pictures will follow when noticeable progress is made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
