Augustus b'Raass Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Looks great buddy! It's always awesome to do these kinds of 'community projects', so I'm happy to jump in. I'm not sure I can help you, with the above questions though, but that's because I don't understand what you mean with [...] I keep to that or paint the ammo pack black to co in side with the top side being red? Do you mean the top or the side of the cape? In any case, the back pack has so many areas, I'm sure you can get away with doing parts black, yellow, and/or red. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 Top side means the side of the cape that for easier wording faces behind the wearer. The inside would mean the part that touches the back and back of the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Matt Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 If you're still taking votes I say mohawk and gladius sword. I like the mohawk especially because its the least like Calgar. Not that I have anything against Calgar, but just because you're using his rules doesn't mean you have to use his character, so to speak, and that head strikes me most as a Scythes head and I think fits best with the rest of your army. The gladius I think is better as the Templar sword seems like it'd get in his way a bit when walking or swinging his fists around. It fits as a back-up weapon if he couldn't use the fist, in which case it's my understanding that he'd take his normally armoured hand out of it rather than weild the sword in the power fist. Lastly it's a little throwback to their Ultramarine lineage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I think the model looks pretty damned amazing. Have you tried the flexible ammo belts from Zinge for the under-slung bolt pistols? Also, and I apologise for the size of the pics, darned photobucket, but what about these heads from the Space Wolves range? http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_222345.jpg http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb456/dantay_xv/20151113_221445.jpg Both give you a grizzled Mohawk look :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I want to change the answer I txt you earlier. I want to see how he would look with this head http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/18B9AD33-CA37-4E18-B27F-1C064243EB02.jpg And I want this head. Who do I have to kill 4 it?

Grizzly_bear Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Thank you gents for the comments. Much appreciated Well I know it's been a while since my last update (training and work is really taking over as with any time I have im sleeping lol) but here's a little update I won't lie gentlemen I'm at a loss wth my Calgar count as....biohazard has suggested using cataphractii shoulder pads....and tbh.....they work......here's the work.... http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/D9499FC4-BAAC-4D66-83B5-1AE596A72DC6_zpsczjjtcdb.jpg And I found some flexy ammo belts so I'd thought I'd dry fit them on and I tried two sizes http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/6C011ADF-6D12-4424-BF97-5F8D9600702A_zpsp8sifj6n.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/AA8CE90E-8DBF-47AF-A166-B14C3ED9A9DF_zpswobhfzzu.jpg I'm also thinking of cutting away the torso and using Calgars torso.....maybe? I Duno thoughts? But some painting has happened first up two extra devs I'm working on http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/74DD61EC-C729-4E84-8A7D-48AECC94175B_zpswurf3r8y.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/6879048B-0251-4EE5-9427-B14115D86521_zpsjbitnhxx.jpg And the start of another tactical squad http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/A94A40EA-9828-462F-93BD-1AFF778E9706_zpsbfmmfyvv.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/96BD0D2B-F00A-41E8-9B7D-21F2022997F0_zps9ira9e0m.jpg Hope you like the update everyone and please leave your comments and ideas.

Pearson73 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Nice weathering on the devs, the cataphractii pads work well with not-Calgar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathspectersgt7 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Well GB you and AO108 have inspired me to take the leap. But I for the life of me can not do free hand I have pads being made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Guy Matt Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 The ammo belts definitely work. I'm not sure on Cataphractii shoulders. They certainly work I'm just not a huge fan of them in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Look great! The cataphractii shoulder pad is the right path, but only if you remove the indomitus pattern pads first (which on the BA left arm, it's not (or is that the picture?)). Also, the ammo hoppers perhaps are more realistic if they come out the bottom of the backpack, not out of the side. The devs look stunning, as always.

Grizzly_bear Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 I think the biggest thing for me with "not Calgar is the limitations of indominatus pattern shoulder pads and the pose I'm trying to get, as the BA arm I used has that section on the top of the left pad essentially just cut away so the arm can come up and point. With the cataphractii pads they just look like they have much more range of movement, I know in the BOC box set of termies there's a pointing left fist. So I may try that I also thought about counting the fists as mini hammers like this (rough sketch) http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/9249DF02-8000-4929-A272-E8C2B604FF1D_zpsjcqiuvo2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 First off: cool sketch! ;) It's your choise, of course, but I wouldn't go for hammers for power fists. Why not try if you can get some arms from the plastic cataphractii, and then put fists on those from the elbows on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Or use the BaC plastic lightning claw arms and just snip the tips off to make power fists? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Or use the BaC plastic lightning claw arms and just snip the tips off to make power fists?the BaC claws actually work the other way: they're fists on which you can glue claws. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 i second what Augustus said, I've done similar a few times, although purley with resin versions, and its not that difficult to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 So I've sorted out the ammo Belt issue and decided to stop messing around with the model http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/1BD4D253-6637-4156-99FB-254E0FB4A328_zpseqgiudka.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/F14A5696-0CEB-498D-8CF8-9FCD9FCD3D84_zpsd33lnpyw.jpg What you think?

Grizzly_bear Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Thorcyra has become a beacon of hope within the scythes, his tactics against the tyranids has evolved faster then any other chapter or army could hope to given the nature of the great devourer, his fighting ability has raised ten fold and he carries two ancient relics from a long lost era of mankind, a matched pair of power fists that stem from the origin of the old legion with legend stating they was forged under the imperial palace them selves under the instruction of Guilliman him self to match his own. Fitted with special bolt rounds that can penetrate terminator armour and the toughest tyranid carapace. Thorycras greatest target aside from the rebuilding of his chapter, is a monster of kraken, 'the beast of sotha' it is named by those who survived sotha and miral, a swarm Lord, a gigantic version of the feared hive tyrant species, Lord Calgar of the ultramarines was brought low by one that belonged to fleet behemoth. Although Hive fleet kraken has been deemed beaten there are still elements left and rumours of a colossal beast armed with 4 bone swords that directs the flow of attacks and out smarts defences, Thorycra believes that this is indeed the beast of sotha and will not rest until his own fists are covered in its ichor and it is laying dead at his feet. "We have been beaten to our knees, on the brink of annihilation, to be forgotten and just a memory in the vast imperial records, but we came back, from ashes of war, like the phenix of old ancient tales, we will not surrender, we will stand again, we will scour the heavens of this locust horde that threatens the galaxy we call home, come brothers....for mother sotha, for the ghosts of sotha" I'm calling him done as I keep messing around with him and thinking of changing this and that and if I carry on I won't ever be happy with him or get him finished as a model. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/682AE281-AECC-4613-BEFB-C81E0501406C_zpssnhr7ysj.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/2FEAD26E-B014-4481-A735-C18B631661F3_zpsr98oghh4.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/CFB77FC0-3022-45F2-A03A-744911496E6E_zpseaczm4aj.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/231488C3-9835-477C-A38F-37255F1594CD_zpstcqh6ia3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightmare Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Awesomeness mate, he really does look like The Boss. Much betterer than the real Calgar, and not as much of a ....you know ;) Fluff is all good too, dude, looking forward to seeing him with paint on as I think this will guy will even top your Abaddon conversion B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
