Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've got a little update on the MK I, showing an arm tacked on so I can get a better sense of where the giant out shoulder pad might sit and just how big it will have to be: http://i.imgur.com/9M1upqx.jpg I was hoping to keep the back of the torso as it is with the power cables and vents, but it's looking like I might have to remove it to allow for the outer shoulder pads to work correctly. Oh, and a new piece of White Scars art, courtesy of the Company Champions supplement: http://i.imgur.com/AfDa0it.png GhostMalone 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hmmm that looks familiar :) could be the white scars banner, liking the progress on the MKI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 It does resemble my Master of the Chapter conversion a bit. I've been digging around the interwebs to see what I could find on traditional Mongol armor to see what I bits and pieces I might be able to integrate into some of my Scars, and it looks like they favored studded leather and the rare heavier armors were scale and lamellar with design influences from China, India, and to a lesser degree, Japan. http://i.imgur.com/HoJmNlq.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/ZTRwT2k.gif?1 http://i.imgur.com/i4Ev8Xp.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/qRzObFb.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 So does this mean you will be doing similar additions rendered in ceramite? Also, how goes your work on Eisenhorn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm going to try to carry over some of those influences to the ceramite, but to what degree requires some consideration. I'd really like to see if I can shape some of the helmets to look like these traditional ones. As for Eisenhorn, he's on hold until I find his left arm. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah that piece of armor that forms the forehead area would be really cool to see translated to a Marine helmet. You certainly have the ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 I appreciate the faith in my abilities. I think I'll have a go at converting a helmet like that. Tyrannicide and Bryan Blaire 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Here's the attempt: http://i.imgur.com/HYnsckn.jpg I used a spare hand from the Masters of the Chapter in case I screwed it up, since I had to have that figure replaced twice and the only good cast of the power fist/helmet is the one you've seen with the White Scar. I know it's just the basic shape for now, but... Good? Bad? Ugly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronotonic Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 well it is a good start I look forward to the finished helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah, the basic shape seems to mirror the reference images nicely. Let the detailing begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly_bear Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 That looks great for a start fella. With the power armour how about thigh plates? Like termie armour has? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a possibility I find your lack of faith disturbing....... I'm always critical of myself, but nice tie-in. :) Had a little play with the helmet and if I try to replicate this on the better cast of this part, I'm going to secure it something to hold it better. This would have turned out better if I had: http://i.imgur.com/fHNxIAk.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah... I didn't get the helmet shape quite round enough, especially on the front, above the face plate. I've got some more work to do on it though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Befor, when it was just a green blop it kind of reminded me of this: http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1871/ze0o.jpg But now it looks good, are you plannin on adding a top-knot to the helmet?

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Ouch. I think I did make it a tad too tall, but hey, that's why I tried this out on a spare piece! And yes, there's going to be a plume of hair and some more decorating once this new work cures. I think MK II helmets would work better for this idea because of the dome shape the top of the helmet already has: http://i.imgur.com/VPdjykP.jpg?1 Edited September 9, 2013 by Brother Chaplain Kage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Your GS skills are extremely impressive. Looking forward to seeing how that helm turns out, especially when you get around to the plume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Not a fan of pointy helmets (although the Custodes' look good for some reason...) but your sculpting skills never fall short, Kage. Keep it up. Also, mega-thanks for doing a Terminator based on my concept. Cheers ahoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 They're not that pointy and they'll be similar to Custodes helmets. Don't thank me just yet for the terminator, lol. I'm still not sure if I can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Getting close to finished with this helmet now: http://i.imgur.com/ZtxWQi6.jpg And I just noticed when I was cropping these that a stray finger messed up the decoration on the back of the helm. Off to fix that. /sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
