hushrong Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 First off, baller. Straight baller! This will definitely be an awesome conversion. Where did his cloak come from by the way? I really like the first pose best. The one with the right armed raised. The second pose with the fists by his side are cool but I feel like it would hide the bolters slung underneath his fists. As for the ammo feed I wonder if the belt fed AC from the Wolf Guard termie box could work. Maybe even the belt fed heavy bolter from the devestator kit. Just strap the ammo canister to his back and have two feeds going to those bolters would look awesome in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly_bear Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 ***LATEST UPDATE IS THE PREVIOUS PAGE*** @kurama: thank you fella @hushrong: thank you for your input fella, I've still got some ideas lurking in my head, one being cutting the torso and the waist to emphasis more movement. But not too sure on that one yet. I kind of wanted to give him a heavy bolter ammo pack on the back (think of kantor snack pack but on roids) lol I do seem to be leaning towards the fists at his side look @recon0321: cheers fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well.....he's gone through some changes...... http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/0D2D0CC7-AE44-48A1-B212-7A3DDB28412D_zpsbn6oz9wh.jpg I like this pose the most, though I think I like the original Asterion head more. Also you've got a few dudes with that rebreather head in your force already, so it might start to look a little "clone-ish" if your Calgar has the same one. Also the base feels a tad high, maybe one less layer of corkboard. (as is he's asking for enemy sniper fire lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent aquila Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Great new model Grizzly! Some input, I gotta agree with Heinrich in changing the head (either back to moloc or to a new helmeted one entirely) rebreathers are cool and all, but they aint savin' nobody in the vacuum of space or from a clutch of brainleech worms... Might i also suggest finding an alternative power fist somewhere? having both just closed fists seems kinda...... boring? i know that there are some alternatives out there somewhere....

Augustus b'Raass Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I agree with Heinrich on all points. Perhaps the bare head with the rebreather from the new tactical kit is better?

Grizzly_bear Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks a lot for the massive In put gents, the head is or was going to be used as I do live that head but you are correct with the clonish look, the new one from the tac squad will be a great sub but again, would it be cloney? Lol I do want a bare head to be here, I may even use Calgars one......or if not maybe a Tartarus or even gorgon pattern helm, this model the original helm was mounded into the sculpt so that completely destroyed. Grey knight helm maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The shooting pose you've given him looks very passive. It would be nice to see something more dynamic. Also, Calgar's head would be a good alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 How about one of the older bare heads from the Templars sprue? The one with the bionic eye screaming? It would work really well with the pose changed to be more dynamic like Dosjetka said. That said I do like the shooting pose. Can totally imagine him confidently striding through a termagaunt horde blasting them apart one by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillhouse Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I like him! If i were to give some suggestions i would say:- i like the idea with the space wolf ammo feed. I would either use the original ammo belt and put both bolters under the same arm, or try to make your own.Ooor! Build a ammofeed that goes around the "wrist" of the powerfistI would also consider using the arms from the new plastic 30k marines (complete with oldschool shoulders) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Excellent work, thus far. I love the Tyranid trophies the Marines wield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Have you considered the belt-feed from the stormbolter in the dreadnought kit? Not sure if it's flexible enough for your purpose, but it looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Well guys I can't thank you enough for all your in put, honestly this is why I love this site.

Thrillhouse Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Large sword! even if Im thinking its mostly an artifact/cermonial use and not something he would fight with wearing the Powerfists. I would never have thought of using a backpack on a TDA, but the size of that thing makes it look amazing. He really looks huge like you wanted.

Augustus b'Raass Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Weirdest complimental gif ever ^^ lol I really like the pose too and also vote for the large ceremonial sword. Buuuut. I don't like the head. Calgar is an honourable, old man. This guy looks like a pitfighter. To convey the stoic nature of this veteran of a thousand battles, I think you should avoid heads with a snarl - snarling is something for younger, more eager or inexperienced warriors. A relaxed face conveys experience and determination. Like these?
