Dosadi Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 FYI, here is how I plan to run him in games. Chapter Master: 255pts Artificer Armour, Shield Eternal, Thunder Hammer, Auspex Space Marine Bike Now, if I want to give him a better shooting weapon than the TL Bolters that come onthe bike, I have to exchange the Shield Eternal for a Storm Shield. Then Icould take a combi weapon or the Primarch's Wrath. However, as I see his roleas an assault specialist, shooting is really secondary for him. That's why Igave him an Auspex. So he can support the Bike Squad I plan on running himwith. With 2 grav guns and a combi-grav on the bikes, being able to nerf thetarget's cover saves is very useful. And the one turn of shooting I might dowith him will probably be dropping the Orbital Strike. So whatever the bolter ends up looking like, its not going to get a lot of use ingame. Right now I'm working on the mechanicum array for his back. Something reminiscent ofthe Ferrus Mannus mini from FW; a nice cluster of servo arms, mechadendritesand that damn TL Bolter. Once that is sorted out, He’ll be ready for the primerand painting.

RazakelXIII Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 This is a brilliant conversion. Great use of a Centurion and Rapier platform. Well done, can't wait to see more progress on this one.

Olis Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Intriguing. How does this monster scale against other space marines? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281427-iron-hands-chapter-master/page/2/#findComment-3515789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
moivin Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Before seeing this thread I had made the decision to convert myself some centurions with hammers to represent btoh the shooty and assault variants (would shoulder mount a grav cannon on each), Im glad to see someone else has had the same idea! Can I ask why you couldn't work the original hands? I haven't laid hands on the sprues yet, my telly-tubbies are on order... I was planning on using some straight plastic rod for a hammer shaft and bending/coring out the fists to slide the handle through both hands, might have one hammer shouldered like the old commander of the fleet mini with the pointing hand or swinging with one arm Grimnar style maybe P.S. I have a few conversions with little servo arms for their 2ndary weapons and I think it looks epic, My calgar proxy has 2 thunder hammers and a storm bolter just like yours on a servo arm coming over one shoulder and it does really work well if it is balance out, on my terminator mini the servo arm is a lot tighter to the back of the model so it looks a little less like a giant spider.

Nomus Sardauk Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I like the idea just one question? What does he do when he reaches a flight if stairs Has he got 4WD with that thing? What do you think the Orbital Bombardment's for? If you can't come to the heretics... :p Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281427-iron-hands-chapter-master/page/2/#findComment-3531695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abraxus Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Have you considered place a single barreled bolter on either side of the chest (where the hurricane bolters would have gone) to represent the twin-linked bolters. Maybe using two of the pieces for the hurricane bolters in the nephilim box?

Dosadi Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 So, apparently I'm really bad at updating progress.Anyway he's about 90% done. Some additional small detailing, a few decals and weathering are in his immediate future and then he'll be ready to lead my Clan Vurgaan force. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a143/Dosadi/mastodon1.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a143/Dosadi/mastodon2.jpg http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a143/Dosadi/mastodon3.jpg Here I've put on the "optional" Mechadendrites taken from Fabius Bile and slightly converted. These sort of mimic the ones on the back of the Forgeworld Ferrus Mannus model.http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a143/Dosadi/mastodon5.jpg The project as it exists right now. I realized after I painted it that I forgot to give him "iron hands" so that's something I'll have to rectify when I get back to work on him. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a143/Dosadi/mastodon4.jpg A final close-up. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a143/Dosadi/mastodon6.jpg Comments, suggestions?

Grotsmasha Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Not sure how I missed this the first time around, but I'm glad I saw it this time. You have yourself one very cool and unique Chapter Master there :tu: Cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281427-iron-hands-chapter-master/page/2/#findComment-3754016 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 This is probably the coolest use of the Centurion models I've seen. I like the colors on his shield.

Rapture747 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I didn't like him when he was bare. With the paint, he looks drastically different to me. Very cool.

RazakelXIII Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Looks even better with paint, nice work on the shield in particular. Have you considered putting some of that blue on the hammer? Might be nice just to carry that color across the model.
