Gorlak Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hello Brothers! I am putting together a senior commander for my Heresy Legion force that I have considered for some time. The first attempt is in the, admittedly rather poor, pictures below. I am looking for any and all feedback, particularly relating to the posing. I have been torn between a more aggressive pose, lunging forward using another set of Sang Guard legs, or a slightly more reserved, calculating pose. Whats here is somewhere in between I feel, as if he is about to move, a potential if you like. The jump pack hasn't been cleaned up yet and will be magnetized to swap out with a regular pack. The head will also be swap-able for a bare head. I am tempted by a shield too, a small round shield, but I am concerned that it'll appear to visually heavy for an assault commander. Anyway, any and all comments welcome! Thank you for looking.

I am Legion Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Epic! Go paint it! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270142-9th-legion-praetorchapter-master/#findComment-3291504 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Sky Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Nice sword :) I look forward to seeing him with paint applied. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270142-9th-legion-praetorchapter-master/#findComment-3291610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sun Reaver Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 IMHO, the helmet doesn't look very blood angels esque. I would also go for more of an aggressive pair of legs for the legion captain. Hope this helps. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/270142-9th-legion-praetorchapter-master/#findComment-3292550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rainbow Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I actually really like the helmet. I think a small shield could work too. I'm not keen on a head swap to an un-helmeted version though. Take his helmet off to get shot in the face? I think not.

fivepointedstar Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I like the helm its very " Predator-like" so keep the maximus style helm . The jumping pose is fine, and works. But the wrist mounted Infernus Pistol ( even thou you've made it look PH style it throws the whole guy off. other than that is a good looking dude, not get to painting, my friend!

KJB Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 See, I really like it as it is. He looks graceful, yet deadly - Only thing I'm not 100% on is the Infernus Pistol, and thats only because I don't like the look of them! Cracking work though, get it painted!!

Gorlak Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Thank you for all the comments and feedback guys, much appreciated! I know what your saying about the pistol... it was a tricky choice. I want to arm him with an archeotech pistol, so I wanted to have it represented somewhere. I wanted to leave the left hand free for the suggestion that the sword would be wielded two handed, which ruled out the standard handheld pistol. I was also tempted to go for a 'buckler' type shield, as seen in Worthy Painting's Dark Angels on that arm. Or perhaps Scibor's Celtic or Omega shields? (naturally with BA iconography in place of the omegas!) I could put the pistol on a sling or perhaps mounted on the left thigh? I'm nervous the latter would lose some of the elegance of the armour there and the pose in general. Hmmm. Any thoughts are appreciated! As far as paint goes, I've had some results I'm very pleased with from my airbrush this weekend for my Sons of Horus so I'll be trying that out for this guy I think. All my other Blood Angels have been brush painted to date. I'm intending to go for a red helmet here, as I tend to prefer all red schemes - only my Sanguinary Guard have gold helmets. I'm more old school, with my vets having yellow or red, depending on their role. Captains though, I'm not so sure. Thanks again for looking and commenting!

fivepointedstar Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 since his helmet is very predator mask looking. How about making a shoulder mounted infernus pistol? I've never seen that done before. Aside of my SM chapter master with a shoulder mounted Aux Grenade launcher.
