Arez Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Looks good,what happened to his one arm though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFly-Art Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 The idea was that he was seriously wounded and died some time later, kneeling by the dragons teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EPK Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Awesome! I got the immediate feeling of a loyalist Death Guard Dread caught on the surface of Isstvan III (I don't immediately recall if there were any mentioned, but that's what I get). The only nitpick I have is that I would have liked to see some torn wires/hoses and maybe some fluid stains coming from the missing arm "wound". I feel like there would be more there than just a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there was one, whose armour integrity was compromised prior to the virus bombing and died because he wasn't sealed. Beautiful technique, though I must nitpick and point out that the Death Guard were not permitted to wear the Aquila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogan Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I see what you were doing... But to be honest, at first I even wondered why you posted an unfinished model in the Hall of Honour. It did look like his right arm went missing - so it took me a while to figure out this was intentional. Personally, I would like to see some more visible damage around the emtpy socket. Sure, its arm could have been torn off in hand-to-hand, but it just doesn't look right without huge scratches. My nephew (12) just told me it looks like it was rusting apart :) Also, since the right arm is missing, this part of the display base seems to be somewhat empty. There's that dragon's tooth, but that's about it. Corpses, debris, barbed wire - imho, you should've done something. Great pose and idea, though. And the battle damage is awesome, especially that on the dragon's tooth. Is there a recipe for your rust? Mine usually looks like... dust. Brownish dust.

Heru2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I agree, it's a really nice model, but the arm being damaged looks like its just dropped off like a broken action man (G.I Joe for you peeps across the pond). It really needs either a nub left behind of battle damage or the hoses and cables sparking and leaking coolants/pneumatic fluids, that would just round it off nicely!

Ah, well this fella's armor is certainly compromised, perhaps he falls to a knee as he sees the inevitability of the virus spreading through his comrades.

We also would have accepted action figure. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Engel Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 We also would have accepted action figure. ;) Action Man is the cultural equivalent of GI Joe in the UK. :lol: I believe he's been around longer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, the no caps made me think that perhaps "action man" was just a Brit term for action figure. Thanks for the info. Don't go trying to steal our thunder as pioneers of the action figure - word on the street is Action Man is a licensed copy of GI Joe. ;) But I think we are getting off topic...
