Kaldoth Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Well, this is the start of my Raptors force. I still haven't decided on a weapon for him, or a head. I want to give him a big ol' machete, but I haven't found a suitable bit. I also have a very crappy glue bottle, which leaked all over his backpack. Going to have to figure out some way to get a bunch of dried glue off of it. Any tips? Well, here he is: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/Kaldoth/Mobile%20Uploads/Resampled_2012-01-07_18-07-04_383.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/Kaldoth/Mobile%20Uploads/Resampled_2012-01-07_18-14-17_824.jpg Suggestions for his head and a weapon would be nice! :D And tips on removing dried glue :( Cheers, -Kal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex567 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hey, Alex here, He looks pretty cool, never thought of mounting the auxilery like that, but looks realy nice, very raptor-e, along with the storm bolter, it makes lots of guns. I dont mean to be overkill but another gun in his left hand would make him look realy awsome :devil: , for the head, I would recomend a realy OTT targeting one with lots of targeters, I think the commander box one would work!, And I cant help you with the glue I'm afraid! Any way onto listing the parts! Main body: Tactical squad chest piece along with back pack Right arm: Captain arm Storm Bolter: Captain Storm Bolter Legs: Legs are from the devestator/command squad sprue with 6 sets of legs on it or the *razorback sprue* as I dub it Back pack: Devestator sprue, hinting at that the legs are from the devestator box Auxilery grenade launcher mount: Lascannon targeter sight Auxilery grenade launcer: Multi melta ammo feed Hope I'm right!

Terminatorinhell Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I like the grenade launcher and also where is the dried glue on the mini or your fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh, you are correct on all counts! :devil: Good eye! The lascannon targeted sight was a particularly annoying cut job. I actually went through two of them on this guy before I got it right. I plan on adding something to the mm ammo feed to make it look like it can rotate. I don't know about adding more guns :) I think I've definitely decided on some sort of "power machete." I just have to find one. I have the devastator sergeant head at my disposal, but I want to give him a head that's more "Captain-y." Right now he looks too much like a dev sergeant IMO. Edit: @terminatorinhell: on the miniature, on the backpack mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Power machete, eh? How about Sly Marbo's blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaldoth Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Power machete, eh? How about Sly Marbo's blade? Hmmmm... Sly Marbo's blade would be almost perfect, were it not for the fact I would have to buy the whole model to get it. I took a look at some of the catachan ccw arms and there's a couple of good ones I could use. Im even tempted to go as far as using an entire bare arm and putting a shoulderpad on it, though I wonder if it would look awkward... -Kal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 it would look awkward, imperial guard arms aren't big enough to look suitably 'space marine'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DornsApothecary Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Awesome work so far - looking forward to seeing what you come up with to finish it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulewaug Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 heya! re: a Machete of impressive size, the Ogre Kingdom's Bulls have a couple options that I think would probably do the job there: http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/ogre-kingdoms...d-a-p-4001.html http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/ogre-kingdoms...d-b-p-4002.html Just hack the blade off and re-attach it to a suitable ccw hand and you're good-to-go! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
