Post your Cypher!


Kastor Krieg

Recommended Posts

With the emergence of the new Cypher "supplement" and the resurgence of the threads about him, and by deathspectersgt7's suggestion, let's welcome the good old fluffy Cypher back in 40K - with a proper hobby offering. Show off your Cyphers, guys and gals. Since it's the Hall of Honor, please show off either complete conversions or complete paintjobs.

 

Here's my completed Cypher kitbash, made from a DV Librarian body, CSM plasma pistol arm, SM bolt pistol arm, DA Vet shoulder pads and an old CSM backpack plus a BT wrapped sword (BT cross removed). Sorry for the crappy photos, made with a brick.

I ended up using the pieces of my cypher model in other conversions years ago.

 

Though I do have one planned. I want him without his pistols, hands hovering near his holsters. based on the description of how you dont often get to see his pistols as he's so damn quick. I also want his sword on his back with part of it poking up over the backpack, how it is in the picture in the dataslate (the ones with his arms crossed over his chest).

 

Just gotta wait on bits to arrive first, though I'm also tempted to convert one from the DV libby now :D

This is the one I painted for the 2012 LPC. He's sitting on the shelf above my desk right now, staring at me. Whispering, 'my layers of paint are thin. Strip me, dude. You know you want to repaint me.'.

I still like the colours on him though. I wanted something more like the 2nd-3rd Edition chaos models, taking inspiration from Ahriman in particular. I'd probably mute them if I redid him to bring it all together better but he'd still be wacky.

Anyway, picture.

From a friend of mine, Matus:

- Front - DV Chaplain
Right leg - Tactical SM
Armour back - some vehicular bit
Arms - MKIV Assault Squad
Bolt Pistol - Phobos Pattern Chainaxe Set
Plasma Pistol - Sunspite from the Character Upgrade kit
Skull Pad - old metal Death Company
Freehand Pad - a bit adjusted MKIII Pad
Backpack - a Maxmini backpack + Ravenwing Upgrade Kit large icon wings
Sword - from the little fellow with Inquisitor Rex
Head - Lugft Huron
Hood - Grey Stuff

The Cypher conversion I done was inspired by a brillaint Fallen Angels army that Throne of Skulls Septemeber event.  I'd also have the Dark Vengance Chaplain in the bit box after useing bits to convert a Dark Apostle for my Iron Warriors last year :D

 

I've just recently spent yesterday re-paint the Cypher model from Black Power armour to Green power armour after seen some of the recent background.

 

Photo was just take a few moment ago

I just need to try make the battle damnge stand out a little bit more, but not going to heavy. I've been useing the new Cypher art work for idea toward this

There are some nice looking Cyphers here. Here is my submission. He sat primered for about 10 years before I painted him.

psychopath,  I love the paint job on that conversion!  Personally I'd look to do more even distribution of highlighting/shading on the freshly painted green armor (the right shoulder/arm.  It's an inspiring piece.  

 

The fact that I lack a Cypher is beginning to make itself painfully apparent. Keep these coming!

Haha I blame this thread for the DV Librarian suddenly selling out at my favorite bitz seller. Luckily I found a cheap one through another seller. Now to make a decision on bolt & plasma pistols. I like the Phobos Bolt pistol but can't decide between the Forgeworld HH Plasma, the Khorne Berserker one with the cables on the side or the one Kastor used at the top there. I'm also trying to decide if I want to try cutting the book & scroll off of his hip so I can replace them with holsters. Hard to get empty holsters though.

Here is mine using the original model, a ravenwing bolt pistol and a HH iron armour plasma pistol
