sword brethren Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hello after making a diorama thread i received a mixed responce and decided to improve before i finished it, but i enjoyed the flesh tearer i made so much i thought what better way to improve than to make a flesh tearers force. i was thinking... Librarian & Chaplain - both truescaled so they stand out. 3 Sanguinary preists 5 or 10 vanguard 20-30 Assault Marines and from there i will just add other fast units like land speeders and stormravens so lets get started with the Ex-Diorama Librarian and a scale picture with Shining Storm's imperial guard i also have some shoulderpads for the vanguard i made. and a mock up of a sanguinary preist. let me know what you think!

Natanael Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Looks like great work to me. Maybe add another chainsword to make the Librarians weapon a bit longer? Seems kinda tiny compared to the handle now. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sword brethren Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 I began work on the chaplain yesterday and i have blu-tacked all the main bits to him. i wanted him slightly hunched throwing his arms wide with rage and screaming... but i wanted a helmet on him so at the moment im looking for a screaming skull helm, until then he has a less interesting one. as you can see its not quite there yet but im hoping the new helmet will help when i get it, i wanted his left hand to be bunched into a fist rather than carrying a pistol just to make him look more feral, ill add a pistol holster if i need to. i wanted this guy to count as astorath or lemartes depending on what i am playing on the field so im hoping the crozius looks fearsome enough that people would accept it as the exicutioners axe. thanks for looking.

SB Edit: i have also decided on a head after seeing it being used by Dan the Daemon on his night lords. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product...rge/Renenf8.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Yellow Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Looking good. One thing I would say is that you need to mix your green stuff better, there are some yellow/blue splotches in there. If it is because the middle of the strip has cured then just cut it off. I just fold it over and over till the consistency is correct. Actually two. With the finer detail on the front of the librarian it looks like you were trying too much too quick. If you make the main shape and allow the green stuff to cure a little you will find it easier to make the indents into it without deforming the shape you have made. Make it three, more please.

ephrael Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Your true scale skills are very good. I think that you should just bite the bullet and make the whole force in true scale. It will look much better that a mixed scale force. I personally love the librarian conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Like everything I've seen so far, but I honestly think you're Reclusiarch makes mine look like crap :P Looking forward to seeing some more ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Take the plunge and go all True Scale. Believe me the force will look much better then with a mix of different scales. I like what you've done so far, I may borrow that Librarian concept :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks for all the positive comments guys! in regards to going completly truescale, that would mean buying 4 assault squads and 2 death company AND 6 termy pack for the legs and stuff... it would mean alot more work (which is fine) and alot more money (which is not, i need to eat next year...). as attractive as doing that is i think i'll have to decline, though i will trawl ebay for some stuff, i may be able to make it true scale yet. thanks SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 only a small update, i am still waiting for the head until i make any decisions on the pose. i decided to make the jump pack, i wanted to be more brutal, less graceful and different to the librarians so this is what i ended up with. thanks for looking.

sword brethren Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 righto guys i think i have all the parts ready for the chaplain, so this is the last mock up! so after losing it twice and gutting a nasty gash into my index finger, i had the head ready. [/url i really wanted him to look truly insane and livid, like he chases running enemies just for the hunt. unfortuantly all poses i try just make him look a more calm look of insane like he just walks up to his opponents who are frozen with fear. but i quite like it so i'll leave it. :D what do you guys think?

Leonidus Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I like really like the helm on this guy. I would suggest though maybe that he be head be titled back roaring into the air? Maybe try it and post a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
