Lestat Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Howdy folks, I decided to do a bit of a kitbash tonight inspired by the picture of the Chapter Master on page 52 of Codex: Space Marines. He's still in the building stage, but I am happy with the pose of the model and the sense of movement. The head and arms are just blu-tacd on at the moment - I might change the head for an ornate helmeted one. I have a finecast Emperors Champion head left over from another converison which should work. I also need to sort out a belt buckle/tabard combo to replace the one I cut away as it looked too static. Actually, just had an inspired idea - I can hang the helmet from his hip and cover up a slight gap in the torso. Genius! :tu: Anyway, heres some pics. As always, all C&C is more than welcome!

Naminé Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Nice work! I really like the pose here, he looks ready to crack some heads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 That sir is an incredibly dynamic pose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Cool - you don't see much of Mr Pugh :devil: Personally i would go for a bigger base, as the model is wide due to the hammers Would make a nice centrepiece with one of those nice resin bases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Is old Mr. P (see league of gentlemen apocalypse) mentioned much in literature? I'm assuming the photo you are working off is generic. I recall that he is mentioned in Phalanx so you might find something of use there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 @LamenterMarine: Yes it is a generic picture in C:SM but the pic is of a Imperial Fist Chapter Master. One educated guess later, and you can safely assume that the pic is supposed to represent Pugh. I might have to go and buy Phlalnx as I havn't read it yet (it's the next one in the Soul Drinkers series isn't it?) @Mazer Rackham: <_< @Cyrox: If I go for a bigger base, then the next one up would be Terminator sized. I might look into some 25mm scenic bases and see what I can find. As he is only glued by one foot, he shoudn't be too difficult to remove and glue/pin to another base. @ Everyone else: Thanks for the comments! I'll hopefully some more work done on Pugh over the next couploe of days so stay tuned! Oh, does anyone know if Pugh had a gauntlet mounted bolter? The pic I'm working from shows an explosion from by his left wrist. I'm trying to work out if this is a background explosion that is a little out of perspective, or whether it's muzzle flash from a bolter. Cheers!

Mazer Rackham Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Make it an auxilary grenade launcher - then it's game-legal AND awesome!!111 To be fair it looks kind of like Dorn's Arrow - Pedro's Prolific Man Mower to my eyes, but... Grenade Launcher dude! <_< MR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenade Launcher dude! :D MR. Grenade launcher - I like the sound of that! Soften up the foul xenos with a frag round and then charge them with 2 hammers swinging. Sounds like the perfect plan :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetoricus Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 You know dude I think you're spot on. It's difficult to imagine who else it could be. Can't believe how many times I've looked at that picture and missed that. Can't wait to see him painted. Good work bro. Might have to have a go at doing my own now I know what he looks like. Quick edit: that explosion is defo coming from his wrist. GL is best explanation. Also coolest. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguinius Chosen Wing Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Damn that is a brilliantly dynamic pose. Can't wait tower it with a lick of paint any idea of the scheme? Gold armour or yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Be nice to see a few more angles, especially from above. And I love seeing the Vladimir Pugh models... quite possible the coolest chapter master... twin thunder hammers... how much cooler can you get than that?

Lestat Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Ask and ye shall recieve! I think I will go with a gold scheme but not sure whether to go for a red cloak or something different. Has anyone got an idea how to model an underslung grenade launcher? I've got a couple if Guard ones, but I think they will be too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Rackham Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 The only thing I can think of at the minute is the Blood Angel infurnus pistol - the wrist mounted one, maybe remove the melta barrel and substitute the nade launcher one - I don't have one to hand so don't know the size, or if it would even work... Maybe trimming down one of the old bolt pistols? They are fairly chunky.. It's the top bit of this. Image taken from another website (not mine or affiliated to me.

Lestat Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 I remember those bolt pistols well - I'll have to see if I've got some left in my bitz box. The Infernus pistol is not a bad idea. If I fill in the vents around the muzzle, it should work. As an alternative, I found some from Anvil industries. Might be a little too big as well http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/index.php?r...;product_id=153 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Rackham Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It may be a little big? Brother, your dude is swinging gargantuan hammers! Heriocally! (Looks at the website in the link) Holy Imperial Constipation Batman! That stuff is :D I feel a Pre-Heresy Imperial Fists unit coming on...I can't use it at any GW LGS, but who the hell cares! :unsure: Cheers for the link mate, I appreciate it, but my wallet hates you. ;) MR.

Lestat Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 Yeah, I know what you mean - a big launcher is the way to go! The bionics they have are great - easy to put together and fit under PA shoulder pads nicely. The alternative bolter magazines a re a nice touch for any Sternguard you are building. My wallet is already hating me this month - motorcycle insurance and mot have made it quite a bit lighter but a small-ish order to Anvil shouldn't hurt too much.................

Lestat Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 I the last book to have the chapter master in it said he used a pair of power blades... Which book is that in? Any references people have of Pugh are greatly appreciated as I would love to find some more background on him. Sadly though, I will be sticking with the twin hammers as they just look so damn EPIC! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just a quick update - I havn't forgotten about Pugh, I'm waiting on a couple of bits to arrive to finish him off. I have added some IF iconongraphy and some detailing - instant mold + GS = win!. Just need his grenade launcher to arrive and finish off the backpack and he will be complete. I'll get some pics posted later on of the progress so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Posted June 16, 2012 Author Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just got back in from having a ride out on my Harley to find the postie has been - the grenade launchers have arrived! :) I'll get some work done on him tonight and hopefully be finished modelling-wise and ready for undercoat and paint.

Lestat Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi again folks - just a quick update while I'm waiting for the first stage of Pugh's paint to dry. I started with a black undercoat and then a heavy drybrush of Calthan Brown leaving the black showing in the recesses. A coat of Tin Bitz was next - again leaving the shading in the recesses. A wash pf Agrax Earthshade to further define the recesses was then added and is currently drying outside in the sunshine ;) Anyway, heres a couple of pics of my progress so far. The cloak has had a coat of Calthan Brown and followed up with Agrax Earthshade as it will eventually be a warm off-white colour. I may have to practice my freehand as it's screaming out for some added detail there......... Anyhow, C&C are always welcome. Right, off to see if the wash has dried yet ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well I've been a busy little bunny today folks. Pugh is nearly ready for battle! The gold armour is nearly complete - just got to do a final bit of highlighting and shading. I've also got to finish the hammers and various bits of detail such as Chapter symbols and purity seals. Anyway, here's a few pics - let me know what you think. Front shot Right highside Left highside Couple showing auxilary grenade launcher and cloak - not too sure on the white as it's not going on smoothe (even by thinning it down) Time for your close up Mr. Pugh! Any C&C are more than welcome! Lestat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I like what you've done there with Mr. Pugh. I once did a codex CM with shoulder mounted aux grenade launcher after having seen AVP. But your model is superbly awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
