PHS Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I'm a bit unsure what to do with this chap so any thoughts are much appreciated http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/mysunner/DSCF2060_zps524d0b0e.jpg http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/mysunner/DSCF2059_zps5cb23ac5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Depends on the Chapter really. Looks good either way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-3573186 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Really nice work either way, though I think I personally prefer the casual helmet-hold. Has a true-to-life feel, like something you'd see in a WWII photo. One little suggestion - I'd try to move the chainsword arm in such a way that its resting a little further down on the shoulder or pauldron. Looks just a bit awkward right now, resting so close up and on the engine.

PHS Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Many thanks for all your thoughts, very helpful I've been leaning towards the 1st one myself mainly so I don't have to sculpt a proper strap, the one in the 2nd pic is pretty poor as to what chapter he'll end up , probably Ultramarine, though maybe a successor chapter. Been thinking about doing some Scouring Era marines for a while i.e., lots of beakies and a few older marks of armour. The mk7 helmet will be replaced with a mk5 I tried to get the chainsword more horizontal by using a small spacer between the hand and the wrist but I thought that it made the hand look a bit off. It looked slightly more natural using a powersword , I kinda like the chainsword though. Again, thanks for the comments P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-3574026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I like the first one but either are an improvement on the original. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-3574032 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHS Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 finally some progress, a bit rough but i like it http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/mysunner/DSCF2099_zps21d70a8e.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-3608243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBuilder Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Fantastic mod on the original model. I've been tossing up ideas on my own and I'll tell ya... I'm inspired by this! Great work, looking forward to seeing how he comes out!

Koriel Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'm loving the casual pose and the face( is it finished?) is looking terrific. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-3608318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
exetus Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I definitely like the first pose the most, but I'll be honest, the Master of Relics looks the least like a special figure within the Chapter than any of the other officers. I'd figure he'd have some awesome relic weapon of some kind instead of a simple chainsword. Even GWs combi-weapon leaves me underwhelmed.

PHS Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Nearly 18 months since i started this and he still ain't finished, not a lot to do though. Started a mk6 captain using some the new ultra bits http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/mysunner/DSCF2121_zpso4raj4g5.jpg http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/mysunner/DSCF2115_zpsprqklp8t.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-4089332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
War Angel Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Those both look great. Keep at it, we want more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-4089593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Mayhem Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I really, really like Mk V armour on marines, with your paint job, it makes it look even better! Do like the Captain too, the new Ultra bits really make him pop out.

Mitsman Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Magnificent conversion! Very nice tones and pose.

CaptainHelion Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 That second one is just excellent! The wire wrapping on the swordhilt is excellent, and a great idea.

PHS Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks for the comments, much appreciated. I've got a lot done in the last month compared to the previous eighteen, the captain still needs a bit of work I'm happy so far though http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq211/mysunner/DSCF2175_zpsrno1dlff.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-4126423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Both really good conversions these mate; the Captain especially, looks suitably authoritative Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285807-master-of-relics-conversion/#findComment-4127896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
