Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) It could very well have been that someone at Forge World called up Dan and said they needed to sell more Thunderbolts, Marauders, Valkyries, and Chaos Hell Blade/Talon models, and could he help them out, not unlike Transformer the Movie selling a whole new line of toys, but even if that were the case, it's still a good book.

Flint13 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited)  Then don't read Titanicus either.  Ding ding ding  When ever the phrase "Engine Kill" pops up, it might as well have had a hotlink to FW's website. In other news, I love the new assault marine. Any of those wacky MK4 helms always get props from me.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Indeed, Flint. Indeed.  So, #4 is the flame trooper for the squad, but I'm not sure what head to put on him.  http://i.imgur.com/4RLG85j.png  Regular MK III, stolen head from the Tac Marine I did a little while back, or respirator?  Now, I plan on placing these Crimson Sons in the pacification of Oxitania during Unification(It's a gift, you should accept it. Really.), and the atmosphere is toxic, so I'm not sure about having any of the marines with a bare head, but, while we're on the subject...  http://i.imgur.com/PTqWx9C.png Dosjetka 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongGone Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The torso for #3 is a Mk IV Destroyer's torso, right? I've always wondered how a Mk IV torso would look on Mk III legs. I likes it. I likes it a lot.  How much of a pain in the butt was it to remove the torso from the Destroyer model? It still comes as a single piece right?

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 The Destroyers are all one piece, but the one I'm using is from the MK IV Assault Squad: Â http://i.imgur.com/4VjKzMR.jpg?1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daemon2027 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 i like the resperator head, but I do have a thing for them. if you would rather have a helmed head then i would say number 2. he looks great btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barabbas Sogalon Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 The tactical head has the best respirator ever, so I would go for that. I do think head number 2 looks best of the helmeted ones, though. The_Chaplain 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too empty.  http://i.imgur.com/0R7jUpM.png?1  It needs something. I had an idea, but at the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into.  http://i.imgur.com/iFrxijy.png  Maybe the Terran Unification War Raptor-and-Lightning icon? That would look cool, right? Doesn't look too hard either. Right? LOL!    http://i.imgur.com/b3j3mQ9.png  These stupid Unification lightning bolts will be the death of me. I sculpted the Raptor head earlier today and let it cure, and when I came back to do the lightning bolts, I foolishly thought I could knock out all four of them in one go. Yeah, no. In the time I got one of them sculpted, the little bit of GS I had mixed up cured to the point that the memory kicked in too much and I couldn't use it. Not to mention, it was hurting my eyes trying to work on something that small, so I'm done with it for today. ephrael, Dragonkin Arenis, KJB and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Looks fantastic though. its probally best to wait and do the 2nd bolt later any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggs Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 You could sculpt them on something else (like a bit of blister pack) and then glue them on later, then you can do them all without squashing them and you can trim them with a knife once they've cured. ephrael and Zsoulless 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 In lieu of an update on the chest piece above or other Crimson Sons figures, I have a different offering today. A little while back, I was talking with a member of another popular hobby/game site via PM and mentioned that I would love to get a Primarch or two into my operating theatre for some surgery - Mortarion, most notably. While I like the figure's sculpting, I don't really care for the pose and wanted something more like this:  http://i.imgur.com/fuBQagM.jpg  The person I was PMing with really liked the idea, and we started talking about a commission to do just that for him. After buying the model, however, he decided he didn't want to chance it.  2.5 years ago, about 3 weeks before I was laid off from my previous job, I bought an '87 Mustang GT rolling shell with the intention of putting a rather large engine in it to take out every now and then for some motoring fun. It's been sitting under a tarp until a few weeks ago when I finally found someone to take it off my hands, since that dream up and died like a fart in the wind some time ago. With the funds, I bought myself a present. Or two.  http://i.imgur.com/5o7WxVq.png  I'll be doing that conversion for myself, thank ye very much!  I had considered reposing Horus if I ever got the figure, but now that I'm looking at him, I'd be worried about doing irreparable harm to all the fine details on his armor. But with Morty, I have no such reservations.  Time to get out the blades and saws, because...   http://i.imgur.com/3bD22mM.png Slave to Darkness 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So brother I give you my faith and I hope through the ages the whisper of the man who dreamt of reposed primarchs and dared to challenge the gods (FW sculptors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I.....You.....ahhhhh  Lets try that again, you sir, are brave and I for one would not be doing it with *genuine* FW models.....I'd risk it with recasts, maybe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
