Greyall Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's a great idea, and more in line with the Salamanders. Or a hammer with a Volkite between the heads.

Emperor's Furor Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Do you think the hand is ok? I tried my best to make it look normal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3432177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 For a moment, it seemed like he's pointing with his middle finger, hehe. Could you give us a closer, sharper look at the hand? It seems nice, may try and thin the finger here and there, but I do like it a lot and it does look perfect in terms of proportion.

Emperor's Furor Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 BestI could do, it does look like he's pointing with the middle fingure, I'm going to try chop off the bit to right when you look head on to see if that makes it look better. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/7206/pxa7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3432782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemid Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Looking much better! Now just rotate the glaive 90* in his hand. It bothers me to no end when weapons are modelled in such a way that if the user took a swing without regripping that they'd smack their foe with the flat (and I know this wasn't your doing).

Emperor's Furor Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Do you mean like this? http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/5891/u66y.jpg I'm also in the process of getting hold of a Sergeant chronus arm for the pointing hand. At the moment the current hand looks like it only has one finger.

Emperor's Furor Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Seems I may have a problem with the Chronus arm since apparently it all comes in one piece, although I'm not sure about the finecast model. I may just get the fine cast, might be able to pick one up at gamesday, fed up of paying their postage fees.

Edit: oh and he is looking better every time I see him :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3433137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Do you think it's worth putting him on a big stone? I got some slate in difference sizes today and some are about the size of a base, what do you think?

Emperor's Furor Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Here's my guy on a big rock! I've also ordered the Sergeant Chronus model so I can replace the hand I made with a proper one. http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9773/rgc4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3434089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 How do you plan to base the rest of the army? Is there a theme like Isstvan V? The slate does look good though. What is his left foot on? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3434095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 Just another rock, it looked a little awkward without it as it made him look like he was pointing at the stars, I was considering putting an eldar helmet or something else like an Ork head under it. I'm torn on the overall base, since it's mainly crusade themed it could be anything, I don't really want it to be grey though since my normal marine army is grey with snow and grass. Maybe obsidian or some form of volcanic looking rock?

Emperor's Furor Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'm planning on converting Numeon's glaive out of the spear, it'll look something like this. http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/8349/p006.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3434807 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 That glave will look really good. As for the rock, he is definitely pointing up, but I wouldn't say he is pointing to the stars. If you do keep him on the rock use some green stuff to make it look like the same rock. You could add crystals, have seen that done before.

spu00sed Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 For hands of all types, as well as a good chunk of spare power weapons, I find the grey knight models a perfect bitz supply.

Emperor's Furor Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I've decided to use a nemesis force halberd from the normal grey knights instead of cutting up the spear top, the salamander design is to much detail to destroy.

depthcharge12 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Or how about isstvaan 5 with a obsidian glass turf? he could be pointing the direction out of the urgal depression (kind of a ravine, so pointing up would make sense) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3435311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 But not many Salamanders survived Istvaan V. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278693-could-use-some-help-with-my-praetor/page/3/#findComment-3435313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Yeah, the army is crusade era primarily, since salamanders kind of disappear after istvaan and my entire army is going to be wearing mk II or MK III armour and use a lot of volkite weaponry.
