Grizzly_bear Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 1000heatheans: thank you bro, me changing how my scouts look was inspired by your work on your malevs. Right. Not really a massive update, I'm going to keep the commission stuff to a bar min on this thread as its a tad confusing as the scheme is obviously mine too lol BUT before I show where I'm at with things.....here's a blast from the past, from my old DIY chapter Fallen brother Fradiō http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/3C5BA4F8-81E5-4736-AC4D-014E66714B70_zps9og7eiwa.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/0CB81E5C-F8AC-4935-B9C3-D3DF791AA81A_zpsrs866oey.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/0E7CF572-B655-4EA7-A3A0-5E60BAD5CA99_zpsyd99jvou.jpg I think it's great seeing old models you painted and put together. I'm also entering golden demon next year, diorama category, "1st company's final stand" Here's just the first mock up of a sketch just to get a basic look and feel of how I want the terminators to look http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/6622DE95-497A-47DD-AC38-CA7BA65F466D_zpspq2z7qfb.jpg Now we move on to the big man him self of the chapter.....the chapter master him self, which I do believe I've shown in earlier pages.... BUT I've got a dilemma....what should he be armed with in his right hand.... http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/1B8ACE17-B7D5-45B5-A8F3-F992D74D22E7_zps3lrxyvon.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/96A240F9-D437-485C-9B6F-F18125DF85E0_zpsvrhyd2uj.jpg Thunder hammer? Or http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/328900E2-312B-4123-B177-069A10F8ED50_zpsbueh9jzu.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/F683417B-87E8-4E69-B33C-8D6EFEDC659A_zpsjrj3rfzk.jpg Burning blade/relic blade?

One-eye Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 That conversion will be stunning whatever you choose. But, I prefer the blade version, the duel feeling is better and he looks less like an IF (with the hammer, he ressembles a cool version of Lysander) my 2 cents :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 He does look like a cool Lysander conversion with the hammer, but I prefer the hammer. What about with an axe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I like the blade. I can't explain why, but it just fits better with the rest of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disease Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Wow. The Typhus Conversion is really special - the pose works so well with the shield. personally its the sword for me - never been keen on Hammers unless its the two handed kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The sword... Or could you make a war scythe? A scythe with the blade turned lengthwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly_bear Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys....in all honesty I am trying to stay away from the whole 'scythe, weaponry because for me it's too cliché. I am leaning towards the sword more, it seems (to me) to have more of that 'horde' control....(if that makes sense)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Agreed. Plus, being an individual who (barely) survived the extermination of the Chapter, he would know that striking swiftly against Nids is the difference between life and death. The hammer just doesn't give off that image. Looking forward to how you mod this fella. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I like both, totally get that the sword works with the v. hordes of little gribblies idea, but don't forget that the Scythes still need someone who can go toe to toe with the big uglies and come out on top. Maybe magnetise and stay flexible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I think the sword is cooler and there's not going to be huge difference in hitting power game-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 100heathens: thanks bro, I'm going to be adding a cloak too. Along with nid parts,...the tanks on the top....not sure wether to keep them? SCL: good point, I may just magnitse his arm.....I need a left cataphractii arm for the shield now Asamodai: that was my initial thought given the strength and AP on the BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe magnetise and stay flexible? Humbug, sir. If the only thing you got on the table to kill a Carnifex is your Chapter Master, you're in trouble anyway. Fly by faith, not by sight. EDIT: Ditch the tanks, and the funny bulbous kneecaps. He'll look better for it. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 What heathens says! :tu: I have to say after looking at this guy the last couple of days I'm really leaning towards the Blade as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHunters Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Loving it brother! Have you considered a nice big double headed axe for the Chapter master? Otherwise I would say sword, although I do like a good mace, and indeed morning stars are fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Afternoon ladies and gents , thank you very much to everyone that sent their well wishes and condolences to me for the loss of my nan. If I may share these two photos with the forum admins? http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/Mobile%20Uploads/8362ECA5-F936-495B-B125-04BC8FF55C9E_zps8doghoif.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/Mobile%20Uploads/411F8B22-677F-456B-AA7A-8D86C348B7AD_zpsdyzjckaa.jpg This is how my nan made her final Journey, in gypsy culture we bring our dead home and stay with them until the day, and on the day the only one allowed to touch the person and coffin are family. I was honoured along with my brother to be at the front carrying nan in and out the church and finally into the crem. She was a real Titan of a woman, the last of the true gyspy way of life and everything I personally held dear to heart, my best Freind, my rock, my mum, soul mate and sister. Right. On to hobby stuff....obviously ive had a hard time focusing on nothing else, I'm now running two jobs, my new being what I've always wanted to do and that's a personal trainer in my gym I was a member at. So all my focus has been on that and getting my self set up..... BUT my chapters battle cry "for the ghosts of sotha" means something now I've made these guys.... http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/9AD7D4F6-0FAF-405A-A26E-C82B1F63CCA8_zps9erhbhp7.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/922B9EDE-ED1B-4CC1-92D3-0FC6E74BCD84_zpsbojuexor.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/757B8270-55B3-4197-A5C8-082D5294678C_zpsuyt7h9il.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/10D30CDC-3ECB-4D29-A702-6AAD773FE364_zpsn2inqmzf.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/7D94C4DA-536B-4CA7-9C5C-16E369593E2C_zpsoe1oeb3e.jpg So these guys are/will be obviously legion of te damned. But I'll be painting these as scythes of the emperor and these will be the "ghosts of sotha" the marines lost during the battle for sotha. These have a long way to go.....deep cuts, armour gouges and broken parts with flames around their heads (think ghost rider) Now with the flames I was thinking blue.....thoughts? Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Now with the flames I was thinking blue.....thoughts? The legionnaires are off to a fantastic start! Blue is still a naturally occurring color of fire; whereas I like to think of the Legion of the Damned glowing with an eerie, almost eldritch kind of light. Have you given consideration to purple? It would be quite the eye catching contrast to the yellow of your Scythes. The recent Marvel film "Guardians of the Galaxy" had some lovely purple fire and explosion effects, which shouldn't be too hard to find with a google search (was going to post one here, but the site coder didnt like the image extension. Probably for the best). I'm sorry to hear of your loss; my condolences go out to you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
