Wolf_Pack's Blood Angels - Conversions and Kit Bashes

[Taranis]

Sometimes it's an uphill struggle. You're doing a masterful piece of work with your conversions, army expansion and painting. Looks great and gives motivation to me to give conversion a go. :)

I always try to encourage people to experiment! Sometimes it goes wrong, but you can do no mistakes if you don't try!

Looking for feedback on this Assault Terminator Prototype

[BloodTzar]

I like it, something that I wanted to try but never did. Therefore I must say it is looking great. Perhaps I would try to combine 2 wings with the flat side togheter, and little of GS to make the shield bigger, more protective -OR- use the wing parallel with the hand while flat side is on the top giving the shield very agile look more of a wing like power generator.

I like the kitbash as well. The shield is fine as it is.

 

While I wouldn't mind the irregular Thunder Hammer, some people might object.

I did one shield with two wings (if you look up my oversized terminator captain) and it's just as big as the rest of the model. I am not sure if it's too over the top. I'll make another and post a picture tomorrow so you fuys can give me more feedback.

I've thought about this as well. I've asked around and the one thing I was getting is that it's not really an issue as the hammernators have no other weapon options. The bonus part is thst if I ever want to try out deathwing, they can also make knights.

[Calnus]

I think you can make that wing more shield-like by rotating it 90 degrees (I'm thinking with the feathers pointing back toward the shoulder) and adding some auspex/techy bits so it looks like a field generator that got blinged out.

 

I like the spear too.  Until some other terminator unit comes along that can bring power weapon of choice with their storm shields, I think its fine as is.

 

Also, really enjoying your take on terminators using the death masks and SG breastplates.  They look very appropriate for Angels of Death.

Wolf Guard Terminators (C:SW) already can.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am currently working on revamping the shield. I've also had feedback on the weapon itself, that the halberd head doesn't lend itself too well to blood angels. Many like my dreadnought spear, so I decided to refit it with a double edged tip carved in plasticard.:

thoughts?

[Quixus]

Actually I liked the GK halberd better. While a double edged blade looks nice too, as it is, it looks too wide for me. It looks more like a paddle than a blade.

[Memento Of Prospero]

I need to make it a bit thinner and curvier I think

[Memento Of Prospero]

Mmm, I think it's growing on me as it is. It looks unwieldy  and I could always use it as a paddle if my stormraven crashes into a body of liquid! SPECIAL TACTICS!

[Quixus]

Or you could use it to spank some daemonettes

[Calnus]

Reminds me more of a greatsword-type blade, which I personally like.  Actually, having huge, blunt-ish plasticard blades on long handled swords instead of spears would be a very versatile option.  Its blunt-ish, so more like a hammer.  Its a long blade, so suited to slashing like a sword.  And its long with a long handle, so could stab like a spear (especially if the tip was sharp).

[Memento Of Prospero]

Here's the stormshield. I changed the angle as suggested, and what better piece to act as a force field generator than stolen tau tech? For the greater...EMPEROR!

[Calnus]

My painting skills aren't up to par for this, but yours might be--Do some glowy object-source lighting from that tau disc.  I bet if you have the disc white or black and bronze, then do some heavy blue/green glow on it, it would look pretty slick.

 

Also, from the angle in that last picture it looks like the terminator could swing that shield around to bash someone in the face with the wingtip on the end.  Blood effect anyone?

[Memento Of Prospero]

I'll be using the same technique for the disc I've been using for the blades.

[Quixus]

Filthy xenos fraternizer!

More seriously though, I think the generator is a bit too large. Maybe use just the generator as a "Storm Buckler".

[Calnus]

If it looks too large, maybe flip it over?  Use the shield on the inside and wing on the outside.  You'd still have the texture on the bit showing, but it would be inside, you'd have to make a handle for it to go onto the hand.  It would look more scavenged/reverse-engineered that way too.

I actually like the spear/ sword blade as is. If anything I'd say make the blade a little longer.

[Memento Of Prospero]

Here's my Loota pattern devastator with missile launcher. It always bugged me that the missile launcher had the lamest looking kit (just the missile on the shoulder, every other option has a cool backpack that links up and stuff!)

[Quixus]

The Loota Pattern Missile launcher is really cool. Are those really loota bits, or is it a drop pod restraint system? Maybe put a back pack vent over the protrusions behind the shoulder pads.

It's loota inspired. That's a drop pod harness that is filled down to actually fit the marine. I will add backback vents, very good idea!

[Calnus]

That would be a really awesome way to run a Cyclone missile launcher, by the way...
