Resin Forge Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Fantastic coversion work! Lovely work, as usual, brother. Thanks guys! Absolutely stunning (albeit heretical) minis you have going brother. I have to ask a quick question though- how did you remove helbrecht's head for your apothecary? What tools did you use? I ask, because I have a gabriel seth to emperor's champion conversion mapped out in my mind, and removing his head seems daunting. I'm also curious about the Helbrecht conversion. How did you remove the Combi melta, was it hard? or was it already detatched? Asking becuase I plan to use the model in the future and want to replace the melta with something else. Both the head and combi weapon were removed with a sharp exacto. I bought the finecast version so I could chop him up easier. I have in the past done a similiar conversion with the pewter version and it took a ton of dremel work, cut fingers and lots of blood. Finecast may have some problems sometimes, it more then makes up for it in the conversion abilities. At least in my very humble opinion.

Ch@oZ Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Every time you update this thread i feel the need to comment, but how many iterations of "awesome,well done, good job etc." can i even come up with? As always, i like your conversions. Just one question: which guitar string did you use for the last guy?

As always, i like your conversions. Just one question: which guitar string did you use for the last guy? Its a pewter power cable. Ive since moved to making them with GS as I feel they sit a bit better on the model. When's the paint going on? Once I have the army built, ill start on the real squad painting. Just 1 more support squad, 1 mroe vet squad and 2 more termie squads. Then paint time while I figure out the vehicle situation.

Resin Forge Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Should the Legion Standard be replaced with aconverted 25 anni banner? Id remove the crimson fist words, add HorusLuprical and add an eye of Horus in the center of the star.Yay, or nay?http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag126/resinforge/standard_wip2_zps5b332640.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269314-sons-of-horus-by-resin-forge-a-heavy-conversion-log/page/3/#findComment-3326041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eetdestroyer Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 It'd look pretty awesome. It you wanted to be fluff-conscious you'd do something about the aquila perhaps? I know the Emperor's Children were the only chapter allowed to display it on their armour, but I'm not sure how strict the big man was with letting other legions use it in other ways.

Cate Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Awesome work! When it comes to the banner I would go with the CF one, the metal one is to puny for that army. :) /C Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269314-sons-of-horus-by-resin-forge-a-heavy-conversion-log/page/3/#findComment-3326248 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Melice Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Deffinitely go with the anniversary banner, Sons of Horus were a very opioid legion, and prideful too, a listeriosis banner like the anniversary one, would show that better.

Lexington Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I continue to adore these guys. :) One thought on that new Sgt, though - his pose seems off, as if he's just holding his dual-flail forward in front of his body, rather than menacingly wielding it. One idea would be to bring the left arm down and back some, while angling the right hand forward, so he's holding one end forward like a polearm, or perhaps just change the hands and arms so he's holding the staff a bit more diagonally to his body? The weapon's great, but I don't feel like the Sgt is positioned in a way to communicate its threat.

I really did try to get a change in the arm pose, but after many many cuts and tries , the body itself only allows so much bend in each arm without it starting to look even crazier "mr gorilla arm" then he slightly already is. Ill get a WIP shot from before up so you can see the arm pose difference. I really muts say, your comments are top notch and truely helpful.
