Zsoulless Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Here is what they look like overlapped. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/DSC02446_zps1dd8eebf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279398-for-the-emperor-wip/page/2/#findComment-3451459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think I like them better the first way you had them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279398-for-the-emperor-wip/page/2/#findComment-3451486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsoulless Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 I think I like them better the first way you had them. From what I can tell If I decided to bring them close together and overlap them I would have to fully commit and do the whole shin plate.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah. It would be cool to see that on a more veteran marine. Maybe the chest plate instead of the shin.

Zsoulless Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 There you go.. Thanks Kage! http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/DSC02452_zps81c808e6.jpg Ive moved the scales to the chest plate.. Ive also decided that instead of bulking out the thighs like I normally do, I'll be using Tactical pouches to fix the turkey leg issue and hide my seams..

Brother Heinrich Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I love the pouches, though you might make them a little bigger, as it stands right now he'd be hard pressed just getting a finger in one of them.

Zsoulless Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Thanks. I love the pouches, though you might make them a little bigger, as it stands right now he'd be hard pressed just getting a finger in one of them. Hmm.. Shame to waste that sculpt.. Smaller is Always better in my brain, but I get your point. I do have 3 different sized pouches at this time.. The belt pouches are just a tad smaller than the small set of three pouches you get with the actual kit.. I could use those in place of these. I guess I could always relocate the tiny pouches over the one shoulder((right, to break up squad markings)). Â I dont know, what does everyone think..?

DuskRaider Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Actually, I disagree. The smaller pouches work well, they can hold what they need and they don't get in the way, nor would tools or extra ammo be clanging around and draw unneeded attention.

Zsoulless Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ok.. so the smaller pouches went up to the right shoulder pad, Brass pins onto the left, Scales are scales, spikey power packs on everyone, and Ill add tactical pouches galore.. Sorry, I know we've been looking at this same model for awhile, but I think I'm pretty close to to figuring out how I'm going to approach this build now.. I'm going to add some sort of shin detail, I'm leaning towards bulking out the lower half of the shin plate, giving it a nice little step to it. I'm also thinking of mixing in Chaos helms across the board so I don't step too far over that loyalist threshold. head 1 ((It's almost too loyalist..)) http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/DSC02462_zps99a02c4f.jpg head 2 ((looks like a decepticon..

Excessus Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Loyalist helmets fits certain parts of the Alpha Legion MO quite a lot though, especially since you've strayed so far away from making the rest of the armour "chaosy". I think there are options of making the helm "less loyalist", but going all out raptor-box helm is a few degrees too much imho...maybe some GS-work on the helm would be a challenge?

Â I agree with BCK, I never get tired of looking at an ever evolving sculpture that improves with each change. Have you considered using the spikey-halo helmet from the BA Sanguinary Guard set? That might have the mix of loyalist and traitor you are looking for.

Zsoulless Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks Guys! I think you are right.. The Loyalist helms fit them the best.. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff70/Zsoulless/DSC02472_zps9c43c3e7.jpg ((Bah.. the barrel is drilled off center.. I'll fix that..))

jpwyrm Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I love watching your work evolve, it's amazing! The thigh pouches and strap is a nice idea to hide the scale-up work there - I might try that too instead of sanding plasticard! Are you using press-molds for the pouches? They look identical to one another so I figured you must have a way to replicate them easily and quickly...? Â Keep up the good work!
