ron Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 I built and then painted this guy as a way to showcase the shoulderpad I made for him. For the longest time, I struggled with getting a good shoulderpad made for these guys. I was finally able to do it and wanted to see how it would look on a complete model. Here's the full post on my blog. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242363-black-dragon-space-marine-sergeant/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Because of your model I decided to read up on the Black Dragons and that was an interesting read. Based on what I read your model really portrays the Black Dragons' history. At first I was going to critique as to why the Icon was white instead of black but I guess that's how it is supposed to be. The shoulderpad looks great too. I'm not too sure if you should continue to use the Chaos parts since I don't think they are renegades. Also I hope you learn how to sculpt the protruding bones and/or fangs to really make them unique.

nurgling6688 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Like this a lot. My own chapter, The Sons of Dorn, actaully started life out as Black Dragons. I had several hundred points of them painted up when I decided painting all black was too boring for me at the time (was 15) but I also didn't want to start from scratch, so I just added some white and some red and made them into my own guys. When the were black dragons I used the rules from Chapter approved and everything. I think I still have the sergeants left since I had converted them and didn't wan't to ruin them. Your guy is great though, hope to see more. 21st Founding! My one crit is that I agree you went a little overboard with the chaos parts. I like the idea of him being kind of ambiguous, but he feels more renegade then bad ass mo fo like he should. I think its the head.

ron Posted November 26, 2011 Author Share Posted November 26, 2011 Thanks for the kind words guys. The spikey armour with the spikey head and spikey arm may have been a bit too much. Maybe just the plain Imperial armour would have made a better contrast to the chapter mutations. Next time. I'm working on an Alpha Legion model now so I'll see if I can get a better balance between the bits used.
