KrautScientist Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks a lot, everyone! @ Thousand Eyes: No, I just quickly tacked on a Stormcast Eternal breastplate to show it could be done, but decided to go with a bare-chested version after all. For a more armoured version, see Biohazard's thread So here we are, a short while later, and I think we can basically call this guy finished: Angron Thal'Kr, Lord of the Red Sands As always, let me know what you think! :) Canardwc, Relict, Nelzon and 18 others 21 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelzon Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 How tall is that guy compared to a normal marine? Great conversion btw, simple and effective. Lot's of character! Me like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 You've outdone yourself again. I think this might be your finest work. Not in terms of scale, but for the personality and overall success of the conversion. I wasn't sure how it would look, but all the little details come together and there's just no mistaking this guy for anyone else.

KrautScientist Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks, guys! :) @ JeffTibbetts: Cheers, mate! That is very nice of you to say! Want to hear something funny, though? The model only really started looking unmistakably like Angron the moment I painted on those facial tattoos ;) @ Nelzon: Right, let's kill two birds with one chainaxe (teehee): Here's Angron next to a standard 30k Marine: Next to Forgeworld's armoured Angron: And here's that group shot Travick requested: DarkVen, Teetengee, Canardwc and 8 others 11 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenbain Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'm glad you chose to use the shoulder armour; I really think it cements that gladiatorial feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andvarr A Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Well done Kraut, easily up there with demon-gron. Can't wait to see your 30k eternal hunt grow.. The last photo, Angron's with kill chop and unstable ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Angrons looking great buddy. The little touches on the base really sell it. Great stuff :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 The end result is really brutal looking. Love the subtle blood splashes, and the thracian helmet is a cool detail that adds character to the piece. Simple and yet impressive as hell, kudos!

TURBULENCE Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Loving the under-armored Angron. I think I like him more than the forgeworld version. Kinda how I'd imagine him looking late-heresy, just before ascending Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The Hydra: I've actually made my peace with the bunny ears obscuring some of the detail, as it's not exactly detail that's vital for the look and feel of the model -- and there's always the fact that BrotherJim has already ok'ed the head, so yeah ;) Fair does, I read on your blog it was donated by Brother Jim after I posted that, it is a great model. Angron looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Brilliant work bro! Angron is amazing :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemac Vradon Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 That is really cool. Shoulder armour definitely adds to the model :tu:. Your collection of Angron's is really something special. Nemac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Thanks a lot, guys! :) Thanks must go, once again, to Augustus b'Raass, who provided that gladiator helmet on the base, if I recall correctly. In an interesting parallel, both my Angron conversions so far feature MaxMini bitz provided by Auggie -- go figure ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 So I now demand (beg) a picture of your 3 Angron's together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well, I'll think we should pospone that until all three are actually finished, wouldn't you agree? ;) Thousand Eyes 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Aiwass Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well, I'll think we should pospone that until all three are actually finished, wouldn't you agree?

KrautScientist Posted September 17, 2016 Author Share Posted September 17, 2016 @ Andvarr A: Look, I am a pretty slow painter, but there's no way I am going to wait a year because I start on the final Angron model. Plus there's also no way for me to join any other faction than chaos for the ETL, either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 If you promise to keep using the shoulder pads I sent you on these awesome conversions of yours, I'll promise to send you some more. ;) Seriously, Pre-unification Angron and Post-Heresy Angron both look amazing. :tu: Noctem Cultor and Brother Aiwass 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctem Cultor Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Okay now I kinda want to see all the Primarchs before the Emperor found then if they even only look half that good. Great job as always. -Noctem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
