Lestat Posted June 17, 2012 Author 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. Many thanks! ;) Predator is what I thought of when I first saw the Inquisitor-scale guy with the shoulder mounted psycannon - now i've just had an idea for a Techmarine with a conversion beamer (but that will have to filed away for another day ;) ). The pic in C:SM does show him firing a wrist mounted weapon so after a couple of suggestions froim the guys on here, rule of cool won out and he ended up with a wrist mounted grenade launcher! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 no I definitely like the wrist mounted one on Pugh better. works well for him aesthetically since he's charging forward he would go to swing, and fire a wrist grenade, and follow thru.

Tybrus Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Took me a bit to see the launcher. I thought for a bit the fist on the backpack was gonna be it, like the old Bobba Fett figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll probably see it better once I've painted it - it's just basecoated black at the moment. The Boba Fett idea is not a bad one - another idea to file away for future use :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I popped into this thread after you put up the first pics but I didn't have time to comment then. Looking back over the whole thread now I do have time though I've got to say I love the dynamic look of the mini and the choice of bits that fit together seamlessly to create said dynamism (is that a real word or did I just make it up?!) Now he's got some paint on him he looks even better. I think the gold armour will work really well with the cream cloak :D Looking forward to seeing more pics James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks James. I'm having problems with getting a smooth, even coat with the cream cloak. I'm going to try another couple of very thin watered down coats and see if that improves the overall texture of the cloak. It wasn't an overly complicated conversion. Most of the work was done with the choice of bits. The most involved part of the conversion was turning a right Terminator thunderhammer arm into a left one and replacing the hand with a spare from my bitz box. Here's a bitz list if anyones interested (well, what I can remember anyway :D ) BA Sanguinary Guard legs SM Captain cloak SM Company Champion torso SM Company Champion shoulder pads x 2 BA Death Company left and right chainsword arms SM Terminator sergeant thunderhammer x 2 SM Captain pistol holster GK backpack GK purity seals GK Shoulder shield SM bald head (don't know which box it's from) Pedro Kantors banner top (the fist) - used on the backpack and for the IF Chapter details Short Grenade Launcher from Anvil Industries (well worth a look at these guys!) Guitar wire and greenstuff Cheers again folks for the feedback! Lestat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If I was the jealous of other peoples modelling/painting skills type, I'd go all Delilah on yo' ass! Crackin' stuff man, even more awesome because of it is of yellow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiron Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I must say that I like Imperial Fists for unknown reason. The yellow just looks cool! Now for the model. I remeber making Angron model. I asked myself: "Is dual wield halberd style cool enought for a Primarch?" The answer was yes of course. However, this guy wielding two THUNDER HAMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! He is just pure Badass and you are just crazy enough to have such an idea. I love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Well folks, Vladimir Pugh is as finished as he is going to get. I keep looking at him and thinking if I do this and change that.........then I realise I may just end up screwing up the model completely. He's been sat in my figure case for about the past week and the pics show up the collective fluff that has now adhered to him :) The manager of GW Porstmouth suggested I ran Pugh as a "counts-as" PA Calgar - which has now given me an idea for converting a second Pugh with twin Power fists this time! Maybe later on in the year............. Anyway, heres some pics. I was playing with the settings on my camera so the quality might not be the best. Got a bit arty with this one in B&W :) As always, C&C are more than welcome! Lestat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
