nurglespuss Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Hi guy's, well, after I don't know how many years in the hobby, I finally decided to make a representation of the Big Guy, for a Space Marine diorama I'm working on. He will do for my purposes. I don't have the skills to paint convincing flame (never really tried it before), but, its passable for my little display. I like the sword through book iconography, and envisage it representing the Emperor destroying old Superstition and Belief in replace of the Imperial Truth.... Do you think he says Emperor to you? I'm keeping him in the 2nd Ed flavour, and know he is small (I can only dream what the Forge World Emperor if they ever make one, will be like) - but I think he looks the part? http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615527.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615532.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615536.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615541.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615545.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615552.jpg?w=604http://angelsofbaal.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/savedpicture-201310615556.jpg?w=604 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281458-my-emperor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 The Emperor has Terminator Honors. Nice. Get that +1A in his profile. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281458-my-emperor/#findComment-3486733 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted October 6, 2013 Author Share Posted October 6, 2013 I figure the emperor would turn everything up to 11 :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281458-my-emperor/#findComment-3486778 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 That old GK figure certainly works for this. You're doing a great job on these throw-back models and paint jobs.

Lysere Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hate to tell you, but the weapons are backwards.. Other than that it looks great The emperor does what he wants, even swapping his own weapons around at will. Really nice though, liking the blade.

Kierdale Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Very, very nice work! If there had been an Emperor mini back in 2nd edition, I imagine it would have looked a lot like that.

Don the Oiler Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yo Dawg, i herd you like the Emperor's armour, so i put a shard of the Emperor's armour on your Emperor's armour so you can set the galaxy ablaze while you set the galaxy ablaze. Sorry, couldn't resist when i saw the Crux Terminatus. Really nice classic conversion though.

skawolf Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 What would a throwback model with a throwback paintjob be without the goblin green base? :D Cool work man, thumbs up.

Kuchinawa Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I think it's a very cool job! But just how small is he? I mean I think he'd look okay, but he seems a little hunched over which makes him seem even shorter. I don't think thats really a knock against it though! I think he's pretty darn cool!

Tonal Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Now, as a rule, I despise the older 40k stuff (Squats aside), but you've managed to make me feel nostalgic for an era that's probably older then I am all the same! Fantastic model, utterly fantastic model. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281458-my-emperor/#findComment-3493416 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barabbas Sogalon Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Never played 2nd edition myself, but the old painting style were an inspiration when I first started out. A great model that made a man nostalgic in the cold, same goes for your models of the legions.
