Master Avoghai Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 You know what I'm talking about : you paint about 4000pts in a row to field a 10000 pts army and you finally notice that your beloved first conversion of company master looks old : looks old in style but also gameswise (old SoS PB combo) And now that GW propose the great sanguinary guards sprues it becomes even more difficult to resist to temptatiom ( particulary when you get a boxset 50% off :) ) So here's the result of my work The heroic pose and the little details showing "HE is the boss"http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2953.jpg I count this double weapon as a bolter-plasma http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2954.jpg The massive sword (will count as a TH) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2955.jpg The comparison with the old version (donk't ask me why - did a guy with long hair and a big mustach I don't have any explanation) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2952.jpg I stille have little thing to modify and additions to allow flexibility. So still some steps before painting C&C welcome of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 He looks awesome all the way,however i have personal issues with robed marines totting jumppacks and the sanguinary guard swords look like katanas to me. Were i in your shows i would modify the hilt.But its just me really. BTW the mustache looks epic!Havent seen one before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WatchCaptainAzrael Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 The mustache and hair add character. Can I persuade you to keep them in your new Company Master? The sword looks more like a grosse messer than a katana. For starters, it's not as curved as a katana, and a lot thicker as well. http://www.swordsofmight.com/ProductImages/coldsteelmedieval/Grosse_Messer_M.jpg Not all curved longswords are katana ripoffs. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Your new model looks awesome! A great combo of DA & BA parts. Although personally not a big fan of robes+jump pack this works very well! Very gothic. The older guy: OMG!!! He looks like a 70s guy in a costume party... Suspension of disbelief thrown out of the window! New model is awesome though, can't wait to see it painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivepointedstar Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I count this double weapon as a bolter-plasmahttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2954.jpg C&C welcome of course... He's a gangsta ++ Turned hotlinked image into a link. Careful with the non-SM images please. I. ++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted October 4, 2011 Author Share Posted October 4, 2011 Well did'nt expect this big mustach would have such success :geek:' But I prefer get rid of it and keep this BA head with bionic eye ;) As for the sword : I like the style of the blade and no "DA style" blade is large enough to justify a "count as thunder hammer" And he has a gangsta-look and that's'exactly the intention ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandalphon Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Looking the goods Avoghai! I've been updating my MotDW recently and also went with the bionic eye option - if only i had that head! (i ended up chopping one into one of the bald termie heads lol) the SG sword is awesome i'd be keepin it. Love the moustche on the old guy, very distinguished :( Only suggestions i can think of are a halo or a hood to exaggerate the head but that's just me... can't wait to see it painted!

Master Avoghai Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well, things goe on Actually I'd like to play my company master with different combo and it also depends of the type of game (apoc/ standard games...) and of the evolution of Wh40k v6 or the DA codex... So I've chosen to use magnets. the only fix part is the sword (usable a s a relic blade or a TH) http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2956.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2957.jpg Next step : painting!

Interrogator Stobz Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Looking good Master A. Really liking the weapon options. Can't wait to see him painted up. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 He's almost finished! I'm still looknig for ideas to treat the base but all the parts are painted... A quick pic of the Jumppack/combi weapon version http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2974.jpg More pics to come...

The_son_of_Dorn Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 that is AWSOME! never thought about using a bolter and a wrist mounted (asthetical mainly) mounted plasma weapon to represent a combi weapon, you sir have made me tipped my hat! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menkeroth Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Good work! Your CM looks cool! Esp. with this BA but still themed jump-pack :D Power sabre also is pretty good but i think for CM claws or really hammer'd be more suitable :) And your combi-plasma... :) And what company is it?

Gillyfish Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Nice! I like him - he looks suitably impressive. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Really like it. He must be Inner Circle stuff :D. Regarding the base, I have a thing for urban bases... Let's see what you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Looking great Master A, I like the Company(?) markings on the little shield. s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Just a quick post to show the 2 other options : the backpack and the storm shield http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2968.jpg A view of the jetpack http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y50/Masteravoghai/Dark%20angels/IMGP2976.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Semper Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well, call me a traditionalist but the sword/shield combo is always preferable to me (at least visually). Jetpack looks ultra cool too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Yup for me too... Except that DA company masters don't have access to Storm shield :tu: I'll use this company master with SS only for my apoc games...
