Armond Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 And some more. Basically this guy is about 95% done in terms of assembly. I am still trying to work out something to do with chains/skulls. Just deciding how to execute and where. Disassembled, smallest break down here: His newest add-ons: Profile of a Legion symbol on his left arm, and a wing with lightning bolts beneath(hard to tell, will have to paint) to honor the Unification Wars. Annnnnd photo shoot: Enjoy, C&C is always welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Heinrich Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Really nice work man, are you doing a press mold for that stuff or just sculpting it by hand? You've also inspired me to do some honor/campaign markings for my dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sculpted onto a hard plastic then pressmold in case I need it again. Like the winter skull profile and the lone wing I have blue press molds for them. Glad you like them enough to consider doing honor markings as well!

Hyaenidae Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's gonna be an absolute joy putting that beast down with high caliber weaponry. Very cool, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Lol is he going to be a focus of fire? Hopefully some type of cover is available! I am going to try and churn out two squads, tactical, this week. I have the ten man heavy support squad ready to be assembled as well. Going to be a fun week! Then once that is done, we can try to get a game in heathens, although I may. It be fully painted at the time, it will be WIP for a bit. But who says we can't put shots downrange?!

Armond Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 No doubt, at least the dread will look pretty while getting fired upon by friggin IWs. Just assembled 5 marines for the first tactical squad, 8 more to go. Then 15 for the second one. Once I get this process under wraps it should move quickly. I am psyched abou getting. My NLs up to speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armond Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Not squad markings, more like badges. Anyone who has lightning bolts is either a marine that served during the Unification era or is a Terran. I did t want to crowd the models with too many additions because I want there to be open spaces for the lightning effects. Thanks death and Balthamal! Keep in mind the bolters in each picture are the same one, I used one to get the arm positions down. I will be cleaning and modifying some o the bolters later after I decide how I want to kit them. The an is to murder some IWs or run away if not feasible hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ok, First ten members of the squad are ready for primer/paint: He comin' fer ya! Yes, those are lightning bolts on his head... Eye on the kneepad denotes service with the SoH at a time This guy served alongside the Death Guard at a time Pushing forward I got ya dead ta rights Hey I just want to talk! Hourglass on the shoulder pad means that seeing this guy means it is "your time" Annnnnd, current shot of them. The bolters ARE NOT glued on right now, held there with some putty, already took them off, they are in the garage ready to be primed black, let me know what you all think!

Armond Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 thanks death, I figure it would look ok on him and pass a terrifying message of impending death. Glad to hear my explanation of some of the markings/embellishments on my squad members makes some sense Squeaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armond Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes, a bit more. First up is the Tactical Sergeant of my 2nd Squad He is armed with a Chainglaive and a combat blade, will have to perhaps find a bolt pistol for him. Lightning bolt icon on the left wrist guard with points on both ends is indicative of service alongside the sons of the Khan in an extermination campaign. This is a truly rare show of bond between a Night Lord and White Scars' member. Cracked skull iconography on right shoulder pad explains the brutality of action this particular Night Lord has shown in execution of duties and was commended by the First Captain. al Master of Signal of the 9th Company, 37th Chapter, VIII Legion. Lone Wing on the right shoulder pad indicates this member is a one of a small group of members known as the Umbrae Circulii, the elite inner circle serving as guidance for the 37th Chapter's Captain, Zar-Helek. The lightning bolt on the helmet marks him as senior Signal Master for the 9th Company, and his position within the Umbrae Circulii bestows seniority over all Signal Masters in the Chapter. Anyway. The other nine members of the 2nd Tactical Squad are washed and scrubbed awaiting assembly. I also have the 10 man Heavy Support Squad in the same boat. Looks like I will be mostly assembling and priming. I will probably participate in ETLIII, so I need to get my Praetor together and that will finish up what I need to put my vow in!

Flint13 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Wow. These guys definitely do your brillian fluff justice. The squad leader is absolutely gorgeous. I love Heathens, don't get me wrong... but totally DX a few Iron Warriors for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
