GooseDaMoose Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Keewl, starting with Pre-Heresy Dark Angels and all, but I want more gothic knights details!! ;) And.. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1139.jpg I do not understand what he is doing. He looks like he's out of an R. Crumb comic, strutting like that, and I'm sorry if I sound harsh. It may seem obvious, but a good test to quickly check if a pose works is to do it yourself. Would you strut your stuff while pointing forwards, torso twisted back and gun pointing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 How else would he urge his men forward while wading into enemy fire. I still need to greenstuff the bands for the shield, but I quite like the pose, as if he truly doesn't care if he takes a hit or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batu Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hey Thewarmaster, I don't know if you have heard this already but FW is going to do Primarchs. I guess their Lion will look much better. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I thought Your Lion looked nice, was going to ask who made it and had they done any other primarchs? Also where did you get the captain's metal shoulder pad from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Lion is here: http://www.thewarstore.com/product71097.html As for the shoulder pad, that was a bitzbox mystery. I'm not quite sure where it came from, but it looks cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavement Artist Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Why on earth did you put the helm on that model. It's such an ugly hat to pop on him. Seriously dude, once forge world whip primarchs out, burn that Hitech garbage, for the good of your other wise excellent looking army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 The finished Combat Squad. After much aggravation, curses, and glued fingers, I eventually went with the regular plastic marine arms. Much easier that way, but not as cool. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1147.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1149.jpg And their ride: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1148.jpg And the rest of the squad: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1146.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Made some progress on my Chapter/Order Master. Yes, he's not wearing robes. I unfortunately do not have any at this moment. I plan on making another version of him later with the two-handed axe from the Sanguinary guards. Then he'll have robes. WIP: http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1150.jpg Which head? One of the 3 bare BA ones? Or the grey knight head? Or the helmeted DA crest? Or I'm open to other suggestions. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1151.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arez Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why not use the DA thats in Dark Vengeance that is in an almost identical pose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Why not use the DA thats in Dark Vengeance that is in an almost identical pose? You know, this brother might be on to something. The arms on Balthazar's model in that box set are separate from the body- well, enough so that you could slap that grey knight bolter on them anyway. The head is also separate, so you can try out the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Cirrius Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I just want to say that there were some unnecessarily harsh (and, in opinion, incorrect) comments right out of the gate on this thread! Comments like that simply show poor taste! If you have criticisms that's fine, but have a little class and humility when you present them, otherwise you just seem high and mighty and nobody is going to take what you obviously think is good advice. Personally I think the Lion is one of the coolest models I've seen. I even really like the helmet on him. I can't wait to see some paint slapped on him. And the pose of the first marine is awesome if you ask me! He seems so nonchalant and uncaring, I love it! :lol: Can't wait to see more -Company Master-at-Arms Cirrius of the Sons of Retribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmius Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Master was finished last night. Pictures as soon as possible please. Really love the captains pose, I can imagine a bunch of charging/shooting Angels flanking him in the heat of battle. As for some of the silly comments, just ignore and keep posting :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Just some quick pictures before I leave for work. Like I said earlier, there will be another version of this guy. Probably Battle of Caliban era. Lots of broken helms on the ground. AND ROBES. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1153.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1154.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1155.jpg And as for why I didn't just use the starter set dude, he's way too static. Yes, he looks cool, but he's just standing there. I suppose I could have looted the head, but meh. I have two of those boxes coming, so I can use one as that, then rip apart the 2nd.

CyderPirate Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lookin really, good. I like the mix of kitbashed, FW (and chapterhouse?) conversions, gives the army a lot of character. I think some of the criticisms have been more than a little OTT. That helmet from the venerable dread looks awesome on any model, and its pose is fine.

The warmasters conversions are sweet on the other hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 The warmasters conversions are sweet on the other hand. Thank you. And I do agree about Hi-tech. Not the greatest model, but it's a cheaper alternative to the Ronin or other "Primarch" models on ebay. I personally can't wait for Forge World's primarchs. I truly hope they stick to Black Library Alpharius. I love this "new" view of them. Anyway, as promised, here's WIP (read: essentially done) pictures of my newest acquired model: Master SoAndSo of the Terminator Corps, otherwise known as Belial in-game. Just needs some greenstuffing work, especially around the neck banding. I'm quite happy with him, only thing I'd change is the shoulder pads. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1156.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1157.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1158.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss32/Hellghast/DSCN1159.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Dog Studios Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Loving that belial, however my only critique would be that his shoulder pads are both facing the same way, which looks off to me slightly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkyn Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Gah! Curses! Started reading Descent of Angels the other night, and I find myself not really liking the Dark Angels that much....
