Lord_Ikka Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) Insanely good work! Like I did with BCK's wip thread, read this all in one go and am very impressed. You are truly the embodiment of conversion- all the little "fiddly" bits work well and make sense with your fluff and artistic style. I am super happy to subscribe and watch this warband progress, keep up the excellent work!

Used some 1/72 Cobra hull parts to straighten the lines of the curvy Hemlock, and added the inner-rotator parts (the white styrene tubing): So now I'm trying to decide if I leave the rotators exposed as in the next two pics: Or... Go with the aerodynamic curved piece over the rotator, as in the next two pics: Thoughts?

Lord_Ikka Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The armor plate covering makes more sense in both an aerodynamic and military sense, but the exposed looks plain cooler. I'd pick exposed- the work you did will show up that way and you get another design element to show off rather than just some more armor. lamby 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289365-inqusitor/page/16/#findComment-4577374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I pick with covers because it looks cooler, and makes sense, as Ikka has said, from an aerodynamic and military sense. :tu: lamby and Lord_Ikka 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289365-inqusitor/page/16/#findComment-4577527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to go with covers that have some vent slots cut in ;) And so, onto some micro work - which means powering on through the build of the Rogue Trader mercenary firing the converted Tau weapon I showed a few posts ago. He is pretty rough around the edges at the moment - none of the arms are glued in, just pinned, there's a bit of GS sculpting to do on that right pants leg, and he needs the little 'character' detailing to finish him. He's wearing a powered set of limbs to add to his combat ability, but as I was starting on the second one, I thought he might look better if the left mech-arm was damaged, as if he'd been hit - or I can build him carrying a third weapon?

So, after some really helpful comments and critiques here's two quick re-mods of the Quad-Gunner - again, nothing is glued or cleaned-up, so really he's rough. Mod 1 - Reloading, arms down: Or Mod 2 - Reloading, arms up: Primary issue with Mod 2 - Arms up sort of says 'I surrender'...

Bryan Blaire Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Lamby, if you could rotate the wrists in so it is clearly in motion to reload, I don't think it would look very "Surrender"-ish... That guy is awesome, you have done a great job! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289365-inqusitor/page/16/#findComment-4589320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ikka Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I think Mod 2 gets the point across quicker that the extra bits are a set of arms rather than some sort of backpack bit. I agree with Bryan Blaire, rotating the wrists to convey the reload motion might help. Otherwise he's looking pretty sharp and ready to slay some enemies.

Mud Duck Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I like the up arm pose, myself. Maybe if the arms where rotated inwards (at the shoulders) closer together, as if the they where just about to slam home the magazine would convey the action better. Plus a spent mag and shell casings on the ground, and a couple of loaded magazines on the back with a space for the one in hand. The one thing that looks off to me is the magazine looks to be 'upside down' in the the hand, but that could be just me.....

hushrong Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 That flyer looks awesome. As for four-arms, I wonder if you could add a ball joint at the elbows and extend that plastic arm to have one aiming the pistol over his should and the other one ready to hand him a magazine.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys - I've ditched the 2 exo-arms and gone for just 1, which means up or down is now irrelevant - pics soon! Meanwhile, first time ever doing the ubiquitous check-pattern - with authentic battle damage! Hopefully I'll get him based for presentation soon ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289365-inqusitor/page/16/#findComment-4661244 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the crew almost at painting stage, and a new crew member is under construction. However, with Ratty - as he's a muborg (Mutie-Cyborg) I'm unsure if he contravenes this forum's regs, so to be safe, if you'd like to see him, please visit my blog The Dying Ground (link in sig) So, onto the operator - his gun-arm is about 95% completed, just some minor detailing on the backpack required. I forgot to add the gun-arm in the first pic - and I'm wondering if after all he looks better with just the BFG. Also just noticed the pistol is missing its barrel! And a new hard-hitter is on the table! Those Imperial Guard kneeling legs took a lot of sanding to shape into female booty! Underpinned the GS around her arms and torso, 2nd layer required next to construct an 'armour-bra' that is a more armour, less bra Currently she has a hole in the back of her head - that will be filled with radically re-sculpted hair. Went for a P90 look on the primary weapon - the secondary pistol is over-large, but what the hell - this girl likes her guns! Thanks for looking!
