Creating Cortez


Recommended Posts

Well after a bit of a discussion on creating rules for Alessio Cortez, of the Crimson Fists, myself and Dorns_fist have both decided to make a model. 

 

If you want to see there discussion on the rules, please see here

 

Right better get some ideas for pieces then really.

Really, it all comes down to how you want to pose Cortez: standing with a raised fist- the 25th edition space marine is a place to start potentially, or the games workshop orders over X hundred dollars marine from a few years back.  If you want to have him strutting forward, have an iron halo available, etc. the new lord executioner master of the chapter may be a good start point- the problem there is the powerfist, which I'd recommend the forgeworld character upgrade sprue to have a relic looking fist at his side.

 

Good luck on this ambitious project!

I've got the model, he is a blood angel right now. I'll take  a reasonable trade for him...Or at least I think I've still got him. 

Thanks for he offer but I have my own designs for this guy. 

 

I want to use this body -

With either of these power fists -

Then thinking of this bolt pistol, might have to change the arm that it is attached to -

I think using one of these backpacks would look good -

Thoughts anyone?

Sounds cool! The bolt pistol lemartes holds is pretty cool looking. Though I think it would be cool is if you could get your hands on an older bolt pistol. From when they were pretty bulky.

I'm using the list as follows

 

GD CPT 2008 head

Plastic commander torso (old sprue)

MKVI left arm (with knife)

Right handed clenched power fist

MKIV right leg

MKVI or MKVII left leg

CF metal back pack

And very detailed shoulder pads.

I've got my plans to make mine. He'll be as he was at jadeberry underpass smashing the ork warboss to pulp

 

I remember playing that mission when I was a kid, along with buildings made from plastic dessert pots.

 

Good luck with the models guys.

@Brother Chaplin Cage and Drunes, if you want in then just let me know and we can organise some sort of rules and timescales to get them all done by?

 

I already made a Cortez figure a long time ago, though I never finished it:

I meant for a different character or something.
