Scythes of the emperor.... Update 13/11/18


Recommended Posts

Wow guys thank you for the response, truly grateful.

 

 

Right I've made some changes but I've also got two bare head version I'm leaning more towards, although the Mohawk one is still lingering as its a real nod back to advanced space crusade when the scythes were introduced. Some of the vets of this board will know what I'm going on about and yes I've done my research being the young whipper snapper I am lol

 

This head?

As you can see also, I've taken off the vents of the heavy bolter pack and added an iron halo

My vote goes to the beard, I love how experienced and unconcerned it looks.

"Tyranids? Son, I killed bigger insects than this with a newspaper when I was mortal. Now go change your underwear, grab a fresh mag and let's exterminate this filth!"

I'm a fan of the mohawk head, if only because it reminds me of the scouts in this old bit of artwork.

I like the smaller gladius, it makes it look like the sort of backup weapon this guy's been carrying around for years, and even now when he's in terminator armour with power fists, he can't bring himself to dishonour the sword that's served him so well for so long by leaving it behind. 

While I understand your MOHAWK thing - and like the idea, I still think the mohawk head you used looks too young. Perhaps you could greenstuff a mohawk on the last head in the most recent selection? :tu:

 

either way, do what you think is best! It's your mini - we're just here posting. You have to build, paint, and look at the mini irl! ;) 

Honestly gents, I can't express the appreciation of the comments and opinions so far, so thank you so much, so it really looks like it's a toss up between the Vadar head (with GS Mohawk) the mohawk plastic version and the FW tank commander head.

 

Maybe I'll just paint all three up and chop and change lol

 

Some one asked about the back, here's the only shot I have.

Now I was looking at the model before I left for gym and work and it looks like I'm going to have to dremel the cape back a bit so the flat surface of the heavy bolter pack can sit flush with cape and kind of lock with the top of the back part of the head area.

 

Since this photo I'm glued the left side of the cape to the shoulder pad so basically I'll be able to paint the left arm and cape Separatlh with the ammo pack being painted on its on.

 

Now this is where is tricky in terms of colour, I'm going to paint the inside of the cape cream or off white with the 'top' red, now as we all know backpacks of the scythes are yellow, so I keep to that or paint the ammo pack black to co in side with the top side being red?
