Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 That would be a LOT of studs to add. >_< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/23/#findComment-3470652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
La'zaro Khan Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I think part of your issue is the material itself. Those lamellar plates need hard edges to convey the impression and I think the slightly shaky lines and the slightly puffy greenstuff is giving the quilted impression rather than plated. You may be better off with greystuff or brownstuff instead to hold that edge. They also sand better so you can thin the plate depth out after sculpting. That'd help mitigate the quilted look.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Once it cures, I'm going to scrape it down with an X-acto blade, and you can sand regular GS just fine. It's actually quite small IRL and the shaky lines can't really be seen until you blow it up with a photo.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 So I've been sick the last several days with a sore throat, congestion, and just starting today, horrible coughing fits. Good times. I wanted to get some more work done on my jetbiker, but the near-constant coughing makes detail sculpting work practically impossible. Instead, I fiddled around with the templar, trying on a new head and arm and filling in the big gap in the abdomen. Since it will later be covered with a tabard, it didn't have to be real smooth, coughing fits be damned. http://i.imgur.com/PBjYgFw.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/23/#findComment-3474603 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrannicide Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think I like the helmet better without the crest. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/23/#findComment-3474638 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think I like the helmet better without the crest. lol, well, you should have the crest in a few days. Since I'm not much a fan of the crests, I definitely like it better. I had to shave off most of the rivets from the helm due to mold lines and several of them not being completely formed, and it looks too plain now. Not sure what to add.

GhostMalone Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Maybe look for more Mongol inspiration? And it is for the good of the nation! I'm not suffering from anything but carbon monoxide poisoning, been welding and grinding for 4 hrs. Yay to construction of things other then minis!!

Tyrannicide Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hrm, part of me says turn the sucker into a Pickelhaube. And then paint the Maltese onto the face of the helmet. Can't go wrong with that, it's a winning combo.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 It does have the general shape of a pichelhaube, but that's more Death Guard/Plague Marine territory, dontcha think?

Grotsmasha Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 imo, them top is too small without the crest, perhaps an easy fix would be to add the mkII/III rim around the to above the eyes? cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/23/#findComment-3474730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 27, 2013 Author Share Posted September 27, 2013 As posted in the Legion thread, this just arrived for me: http://i.imgur.com/0GePlL3.jpg It will probably be some time before I get to work on it, as I still want to get some Mongolian-inspired heads converted and some Scars icons sculpted onto MK III and IV shoulder pads and have them cast up for my army.

Firepower Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Looking very cool. I'm not seeing the Mongolian inspiration yet, though. Then again I'm not exactly super familiar with Mongolian armor.

Firepower Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Ah, yup. I was thinking more of a similar woven straw/basket armor from somewhere in the same region. Of course the Mongolian empire was so wide the term 'same region' is sort of moot.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 There is a lot of different styles of armor and weapons that fall under "Mongol", I'm finding out. Since they borrowed heavily from so many neighboring sources, it leaves a large range of armor differences. I'm just trying to borrow some aspects and incorporate it into the futuristic armor of the Legions.

Firepower Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) That seems like the most logical design to incorporate. The materials and specifics change, but most armor types I associate with that era and region are largely the same in most other respects. Choosing that one is advantageous because it is metal plate armor, so a lot easier to incorporate into Power Armor. The helmet in the top corner of that last picture looks like it even borrowed heavily from Roman Centurion armor. The Mongols really got around So now that I see the reference material, yeah, all you really need is the ear flappy thing and you'll be golden Edited September 29, 2013 by Firepower Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/23/#findComment-3479842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostMalone Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Hey brother I found a good alternative for Mongol helmets.
