Brother Elochai Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm wanting to make a to scale Mortarion, and honestly I have no idea where to start. I'm wanting to do post-heresy Mortarion before he was turned into a daemon prince. Instead of making a gargantuan daemon, he'll be a chaos primarch. I don't even know where to start, any ideas?

Jaigo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Work with chaos terminator bits for body. Also the chaos terminator lordcloak is nice, and perhaps modify the staff into an scythe. You could also use a chaplain as a base model. I love the chaplian in terminator armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosty Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I've seen a really nice rendition of Mortarion made from a Sauron model from the LoTR line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_plays_guitar Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The best Mortarion I've ever seen was made by using one of the C'tan models from the Necrons, wings from the Sanguinor or Astaroth Blood Angels models, and a hooded Dark Angels head. I think it had some fancy chaos pauldrons on it. It looked absolutely incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 He basically looks like the grim reaper with smatterings of old power armor . . . as was mentioned earlier, the nightbringer provides a suitable base if you don't mind working the metal.

Brother Elochai Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Hmm, I'll take a look into some of those models. Are there not any primarch models? or any model larger than a termie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglephill Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The Best three mortarions I have seen have all been made from Inquisitor models. the 52/54mm scale models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Elochai Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'm taking all of this into consideration The Best three mortarions I have seen have all been made from Inquisitor models. the 52/54mm scale models. but I think this might be what I was looking for.

TheDVoid Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I have a project going on at the moment to make each of the primarchs from inquisitor models. Mortarion is next on my list once I have finished doing Fulgrim battling Ferrus Manus. Speaking of which is there a fight between Mortarion and any other primarch in the heresy? I want to try keep it so each is a battle, for example I'm working on Ferrus/Fulgrim now, finished modeling and half finished painting Alpharius/Papa Smurf but with so much blue and gold papa smurf forced me to take a break from that one.

Brother Elochai Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm not 100% up on my Dusk Raiders/Death Guard canon, but I'm pretty sure that Mortarion rounded up the legion, and they shipped off for Terra, spent most of the Heresy trapped in a warp storm, they emerged as Death Guard, found that Horus had been defeated so they turned around to go do chaos things else where. Maybe someone who has read flight of eisenstein would know more, or if there is some info packed into one of the white dwarf issue, or a codex.... anyway I've been looking at the inquisitor models, as well as tons of peoples finished primarchs. I figured I would have to do a lot of converting, but I don't really see any way to get any of those models into looking like mortarion. Right now I'm thinking doing the whole thing out of modelling materials. I'm working on getting a good front and side view of Mortarion in an image editor so I can 3D image him to scale so I can figure out just what I'm getting into....Time for a crash course in G.S.... I am quite curious as to what you have in mind for your project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Elochai Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 at one point I was thinking of making my primarch "to scale" but that would make Mortarion 30-33mm high which is not a lot of room to work with for detail, however I feel silly wanting to field a 55 mm primarch next to 25 mm marines ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Taint Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I wouldn't worry too much about that. After all, any Daemon Prince would scale to a similar size. And then Mortarion's a primarch. He could easily be 55 mm next to his 25 mm followers, couldn't he?! Cheers, JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
