MikhalLeNoir Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Woah. luv the model and the dynamic. Will used that idea for a character yet to be created, but I will use it for sure Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/106/#findComment-4242062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Great miniature. Lovely atmosphere. I love where this is going.  Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut  The pose is off imo. He looks like he´s showing off his crotch. Let me explain why. The torso is what aims his body - and the torso is aiming in a right angle away from his spread legs. This gives the impression that the focus of the miniature, indeed the entire balance of him, is at a right angle with the legs and thus draws attention to his crotch. In addition, the balance is off. If you mimic his pose, and pay attention to the angle of your torso to the angle of your legs, you'll feel that your balance and pose are unnatural. No-one wold stand like that. I get what you're aiming for with the mini, but you missed it a bit in how he's posed right now. I think he would benefit greatly if you turn his torso slightly to the right. It would 'aim' the model more towards where his left knee is pointing, and balance the stance and with that the entire pose. Mimic what I´m saying with your own body, and I´m sure you´ll get what I mean.

Corsovitt Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 The pose makes me think of Vader offering Luke his outstretched hand on Bespin... Together we can rule the Galaxy...

Augustus b'Raass Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's one cut, straight through the middle, along the belt. Shouldn't be too much trouble, especially for someone with Flint's skills, and if carefully done there would be zero visible damage :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/106/#findComment-4242679 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Not true. I've cut up one of those before and there's no way to cut it without destroying the armor plates. You'd have to completely remove the abdomen armor plate that sits on top of the upper groin plate and re-sculpt both of them.

Firepower Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Yeah, that would be a very complicated and more than likely destructive endeavor. Â The awkward tilt is subtle enough that it will escape most notice (even mine!), and even once you see it, it ain't that bad.

Brother Heinrich Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Not true. I've cut up one of those before and there's no way to cut it without destroying the armor plates. You'd have to completely remove the abdomen armor plate that sits on top of the upper groin plate and re-sculpt both of them. True story, Heresy era Hashec is a prime example of this, I basically only ended up keeping the thighs from the praetor model, but after I cut him in half that torso was practically only useable for basing detail as a corpse.

Augustus b'Raass Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 I stand corrected! Indeed, I've never handled that particular model before. Like Firepower said, the pose problem is subtle. So perhaps Flint's mad painting skills will obscure the torso's tilt somewhat. Still looking foreard to the end result. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/106/#findComment-4243001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oh wow!  Thanks for all the kind words and advice, guys and girls. It's always so cool to see ^_^  Replies!  @ Atia - Thanks girl! You are indeed correct. I needed something super dramatic and I had been saving that cape for something since the plastic WoC Chariots first came out!  @ Firepower - Pretty good? That's high praise indeed! :D The connection of his cape was surprisingly easy and doesn't look half bad. It's just tacked down with glue at the moment, but I'm going to smooth it out a bit with GS. Plus its mostly under his back pack.  *sigh* I wish I could update this as often as my avvy. But non-digital life consumes my time pretty hard core most days. At least Emma will be here to stay for a bit!  @ Slips - That works.  @ Hushrong - His left or our left? The plastic pad is a Mk2 from the B@C set, the resin one is the honor of the Terran unification veterans. This one is particular is from the FW special edition Mr. Potatohead Praetor (as is Jubal's body). The cape is from the Warriors of Chaos plastic chariot set from WHFB.  @ SanguiniusReborn - Wow, thanks! I was going much more for drama than I was an actual usable table-top model, so I'm glad it worked out acceptably.  @ Ckpmax - I'm all about some topknots, man :D  Oh! I hadn't thought about a tassel or anything for the Guan-dao, but I'm totally doing it now!  @ Kizzdougs - Ah yes, fresh gainz are defs in the near future. Both hobby and fitness $_$  @ Hydra - Thanks!  @ codyrstuart - Well, I am technically a schoolgirl (university girl?) and I squeal at stuff occasionally. I know what you mean. Glad to hear I inspire school girl glee.  @ Heinrich - Of course, but the validation is always pleasant.  @ Barabbas - Thanks!  @ DSS7 - Ah excellent. I'll have him right out :D  @ MrBear - Good to hear! I think he ended up more Darth Vader than Laurence Fishburne, but I think it still works.  @ Kriegsmacht - No plans for anything in his left hand. He's my take on what Jubal might have looked like in the intro to the Templar audio drama, so I was thinking a flippant "we may proceed" hand wave.  @ IHF - Thanks man! Truth be told, I've been here, I've just mainly been hiding in the AoD and mod lounge :D  @ Larkyn - It looks pretty cool with a halberd. I'd stick to it!  @ Skimaskmohawk - Oh no worries. Thanks!  @ Mikhal - Thanks! Always glad to hear I inspire.  @ Augustus - Ah, yeah. Unfortunately he's mostly one solid piece of resin so I'm kinda stuck with FW's interesting choice there.  @ Black_out - Hah, fair enough.  @ Corsovitt - "Why do you chain your blade Templar? Are you afraid of dropping your sword?"  Same diff :D  @ Midnight Runner - Jubal is one of the Terran captains of the Vth (maybe the first captain? I feel like yes) who fights an honor duel with Sigismund in the opening chapter of Templar by John French. It's my favorite audio drama ever! Anywho, I love Jubal b/c he makes fun of Sigismund for chaining his sword. "To cage your blade is to cage yourself"  Then when he realizes he won't win the duel, he settles for severing the links of Sigismund's chain with his last blow instead.  So I like him, he's got moxxy!  @ Teetengee - Thanks!   Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282556-savage-midnight-armored-up-an-rolling-heavy-for-etl-pg109/page/106/#findComment-4245662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The only Jubal Khan I know of is the 40k Chapter Master of the Scars, I didn't know there was a Heresy guy. But I don't listen to audios, so I suppose I wouldn't know. I do believe the Scars distinctively lack a First Captain, though they do have Qin Xa, master of the Keshig, and multiple Noyan-Khans, ranked above Khans. Â The bro looks good though. I'm not sure how I feel about the helm, but I'll reserve judgment until I see some paint on him.

depthcharge12 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hiya guys. Long time, no love. Finally got a break in my non-digital life's aspirations to be Dr. Flint one day. Listened to Templar (barely edging out The Long Night for my favs audio drama) for the fifteenth time and decided to get some work done. Â Here's my WiP take on Jubal Khan, Lord of Summer Lightning and the Swift Death That Comes with Laughter. Also he made fun of Sigismund this one time :D Â Â Still have to smooth the connections btwn his topknot/helm and the Guan-dao, but otherwise, I think he's mostly there. Feel free to yell helpful things at him.

Kriegsmacht Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Ah ok that explains it I haven't listened to The Templar audio so the referance went over my head.

b1soul Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I don't think Jubal is Terran. His artwork in BotS is really Chogorian (see my avatar)...and he has that rather atrocious faux-Oriental accent in Templar.

Knight of the Raven Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I'd have used the iron pattern for his left shoulder to match the right one, but he looks awesome. I love the guandao.

He is difficult to google search because of the 40k guy Hows his helm look now? @ Roland - Well, to be honest, Scar singular. But glad you like him! @ Depth - Thanks! That's pretty steep praise. @ Krieg - Here go. @ b1soul - HAH! That's hilarious. His unification symbol doesn't make sense now I'm not sure why I was so positive he was Terran. Glad you still like him though! @ Hushrong - Sure thing. @ KotR - Fair enough. Thanks for the kudos.
