Twisted Logic Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Hail Brothers, So i picked up Dark Vengeance today one because i wanted the smaller rule book and also because the limited edition chaplain comes with it head seperate from the rest of the model (this makes for an excellent conversion piece if your making a chaplain). So without further adoo i present to you Master of Sanctity Heinrich Hellhammer. I still need to remove the DA icon from the helm and also get a shoulder pad fitted to the stormshield arm but generally he's finished. Could also do with tidying the green stuff up a bit too, ill mostly be running him with the stormshield and an adamantine mantle but gonna run him with the big hammer in big points games as a master crafted thunder hammer but cant decide if it's too big but then its supposed to be master crafted so it needs to be suitably ornate, what do you guys think any feed back would be appreiciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktemplar87 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 :( wow that is one heck of a chaplain! I would say try to find a smaller hammer, the big one doesn't look quite right but other than that it is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 First thing that caught me eye is that the halo-looking thing with the templar cross looks neat! He seems to be kitbashed together from TDA + PA pieces? As a result there's just something ever so slightly off with the dimensions - width? - but as a whole he looks nice. Also, that second hammer is indeed MASSIVE. I suppose technically it's a bit too big given thunder hammer is generally a one-handed weapon... but I suppose 40k never was all about the realism anyway, so I think you could get away with it without raising any eyebrows. It would look better in a two-handed grip, but that wouldn't be possible with a storm shield, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 That hammer is a tad too large in my opinion, makes it look cartoony. However, I'm liking the rest of the model very much. Â Could you please give a rundown of the parts on how to make that halo bit on top of his terminator armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm liking the rest of the model very much. Could you please give a rundown of the parts on how to make that halo bit on top of his terminator armor?  Sure can the halo is made from the top part of the psychic staff from the grey knights terminator set with the top part of a black templars banner back pack from the BT upgrade kit stuck on. then i just filled the back in with green stuff.  But im still undecided about the hammer put alot of effort into making it.

Marshal Hadrarius Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Firstly wow! Love that model puts my chaplain to shame but although you've put a lot of work into it i'd lose the hammer its just too oversized makes him look like an action man toy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain ChonkE Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 The first pics with the Hammer and Shield setup look frigging unbelievable. Cant wait to see him all dolled up in the colors :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatosen Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Beautiful model. Especially like the amount of detail you put into the backside of the armor, with the cloth and greenstuff. A few comments. :( You should get a Crux Terminatus on the shoulder pad with the Storm Shield. Looks off without it. (Edit, nevermind: just re-read your post :( ) I agree with previous posters, the Master Crafted Hammer is too big, sorry to say. It's a sweet piece, and you can really tell you put a lot of time into it, but in my opinion it's just a bit too big. You might be able to pull it off in a 2-handed pose, but it might still be a bit much. :( Other than that, absolutely beautiful miniature. If you don't mind - where'd you get the shoulder pad for the Thunder Hammer? The Templar one with the skulls around the edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Veyross Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 @ Phatosen  The shoulder pad with the rim of skulls is from forgeworld. It comes in their pack of templar terminator shoulder pads :)   I love what you have done with the shoulder pad on the giant hammer arm. I found the same part while crusading through my brothers heretical bitz box and had the same idea. It looks incredible and fits the chaplain perfectly   I can see why they call him hellhammer :) It is an exceptionally well made part but I will have to agree that it does look a bit too large, even when wielded by a bulky terminator. On the bright side though, I can think of a few dreadnoughts who would love the chance to wield such a weapon (make for a pretty awesome conversion too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyustukyi Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 That is awesome. Good job on the modeling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliath Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Love the model. That's a grey knight hammer and if it fits their dimensions, I don't see what the problem is. I think it looks great. After all, the solution to any problem is "get a bigger hammer" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliath Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'll now admit I only looked at the first pic on my iPhone. Thought people were saying the hammer in the right hand was too big. The dread knight one is a wee bit too big haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spedley13 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Just gotta say one thing: Heinrich Hellhammer REALLY lives up to his name. Â In all seriousness though, great job. I really like the pose you got with the shield. And I like the iron halo. And the books around his belt. And the... Â Needless to say, great model!

Andhil Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 @spedly: I've seen double-posts, triple posts, but never a six-times-post. :angry: Â Anyway, that's a gorgeous looking model. The Master crafted Hammer does look more...Dreadknight-sized. I prefer the TH/SS version, but that's just personal taste. Â Quick version: Sweet conversion, lovely model.

d3m01iti0n Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Looks AWESOME. That hammer might look better held with two hands. Personally for a master crafted hammer I would attach some bits to the standard shaft, and make the head out of the eagle heads from a Captain`s backpack. That way it could double as a TH or Crozius depending on the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Logic Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 So finally got Heinrich finished, still need to finish painting the other hammer but im not to bothered when it gets done. As for now this is how ill be running him, plus i also thought i'd show the squad he'll be leading. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal_Roujakis Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Aesthetically: AWESOME MODEL!!! Game wise (If playing with him): Lose Shield (coz he's 4++ anyhow) and get either Lightning Claws (for rerolls) or ChainFists (coz you can) Â Still: AWESOME MODEL!!! :) :) :P :o :o :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Indeed brother i will be keeping the storm shield thats the whole reason i gave him one, a 3+ invul is much better than a 4+ i mean sure its ok but its just not worth the risk. As for claws and chainfists well then he would'nt have earnt the name Hellhammer :P Â Thanks for the praise brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
