CaptainHelion Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Which page is the piece of art on? I might be able to scan something. Depending, of course, on if I can convince the machine spirits to cooperate.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Of course, I can't find my GK codex now. I remember it being near the end of the book, with some accompanying fluff about how the dead GKs are interred in a tomb beneath Titan and how the rest of the Imperium will never know their heroic deeds and how much they helped to keep mankind safe from Chaos, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/8/#findComment-3439518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephrael Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Not a problem, I own several of the power armor codexes so I have them on my macbook as well. I assume you are planning on skipping the shroud for your Dante piece?

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yeah, he won't be shrouded and I guess it's been a while since I saw this picture because it's not quite how I remember it. Still, one of my favorite pics from the codex and thanks again for posting it. For my Tycho diorama, it will be less formal with an impromtu bier, or maybe none at all and the other Blood Angels are just carrying him. Today is my one day off from work this week and I have some errands to run and stuff to do around the house, but I'll see if I can get some early WIP pics of him up later tonight.

Midnightmare Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Your stuff always rocks Kage, and I am looking forward to your final rendition of Tycho (guy is one of my all time faves). Here's a pic from the Armageddon codex that will give some idea of how much damage he might have on him: Oh, he would be right battered!!! But don't forget story goes, his mask was torn from his face and upon his death his 'horrifying, rictus grin' kind of dissapeared and he looked quite peaceful. Not that you have to pay it (or me) any heed, as lets 'face' it, Tycho's mak is ace Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/8/#findComment-3439792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's definitely the way to go, 4 marines bearing the battered and broken Tycho from his final fight, maybe a chaplain in the front bearing his crozius as they walk past kneeling Blood Angels. Not to try and tell you how to do it or anything, that's just the image in my mind.

Not that you have to pay it (or me) any heed, as lets 'face' it, Tycho's mask is ace Was that in the Armageddon codex? That seems to have disappeared along with my GK codex, but I did check out the new BA codex and it didn't mention it. I think the mask needs to stay to make it more apparent who it is, and the golden mask against the black, ravaged armor will serve as a good parallel between exemplary captain he used to be and the raging madman he became once he succumbed to the curse.

Not to try and tell you how to do it or anything, that's just the image in my mind. I'm beginning to wonder if you're reading my mind. <_< In fact, I was planning on having a chappie out front and was considering redoing my original Brother Chaplain Kage conversion that used to lead my Blood Angels back in my tourney days: http://i.imgur.com/E4aiGZD.jpg I was so proud of that guy back then because, at the time, there wasn't a straight right arm to be found in the shiny new 3rd edition plastics so I chopped out the middle of a bolter left arm and mated it to the hand and shoulder of a right and looked pretty seamless. In my more grand visions of thing, they were all walking past lines of other Blood Angels, either kneeling or saluting, so you're also on the money there as well. That makes me wonder, how do marines salute, or do they at all?

Brother Heinrich Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The general Imperial salute seems to be the Aquila, I know I've read of the Salamanders and Ultramarines using it, in the more rogue-ish chapters, like the Marines Malevolent, you see the old pre-unification salute of a fist over the heart.

Messanger of Death Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 As Brother Heinrich stated, the Aquila or the Pre-Unification Hand-Over-Heart. The Black Templars have their own style with forearms crossed over chest to form a Templar Cross (As per Aaron Dembski-Bowden's Armageddon Novel). Can't wait to see what you do with the Mk1 TDA.

I haven't read that, but a nice little piece of new info about the BTs. The MK 1 is gonna be a little ways off since I'm still looking around for base components to use. I want to make a very large one for my IW Warsmith, most likely from Obliterator parts, but a normal termie-sized version would be cool as well.

ephrael Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The Lord Executioner's jump pack would look really good on a remake of that chaplain. I think that you should add "misc chaplain bits" to your list later this evening if you know what I mean. Just in case I forget between now and tomorrow.

Will do, and you're right about that jump pack. Man, jump pack chappie leading jump pack Death Company back in 3rd edition... so gross, it still makes me dry heave a little bit. The body would be great too, for the chappie to be walking ahead of the marines bearing Tycho. And here's a rough sketch of the man himself: http://i.imgur.com/fwYEbRa.jpg Not sure about the right arm yet, but it gets the idea across.

Firepower Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Is he gonna be messed up and battle damaged, or will his brothers have polished up his suit for the ceremony? It's a tad cliche, but having his right hand resting on his chest/stomach would probably work.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Man that is an awesome mock up, please make this a reality. It will be, and I have to say I think this is the oldest conversion idea I've ever had that I never attempted or completely gave up on, and seeing it finally start to come together after all this time is just incredible. Is he gonna be messed up and battle damaged, or will his brothers have polished up his suit for the ceremony? It's a tad cliche, but having his right hand resting on his chest/stomach would probably work. Edit: Oh yes, he'll be pock-marked, cut up, bloody and dusty. Imagine that they just pulled his body from the pile of dead orcs and other Blood Angels and hefted him up to carry him back to friendly lines, later to be borne home. My thoughts on his right arm were to either be that, or be positioned to be resting on the shoulder of the marine under his right side.

I like the mock up so far, maybe have his right hand clutching a weapon that he is unwilling to relinquish even in death. I would recommend that you have the battle damage on his armor reveal the gold finish that the black paint of the Death Company obscures, just a thought. Jump pack not a problem, the body of the Executioner Lord is marked for a conversion but I have an alternative to offer. PM inbound.

Firepower Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Really loving the sound of this. As for a weapon, perhaps the combi-melta of his put to rest on his right arm, sort of nestled up against/into his shoulder, where a brother returned it to its owner to carry with dignity into death. *salute* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278032-bcks-thread-of-stuff-super-heavy/page/8/#findComment-3440002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
