Battybattybats Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well there's always the option to do something with the vampiress like i did with mine ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4394972 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks for all the kudos and feedback folks :) I've been debating doing some kind of swap for the vampireress head like yours, batty, but I'm not sure. We shall see. Some of the masked DE heads are mighty tempting. For now though, Khodessa and his dais are shelved. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ETL!!! http://s32.postimg.org/6zgt1nphx/image.jpg Iron Hands Steel sprayed on the black base http://s32.postimg.org/up68qcnv9/image.jpg Calth Blue applied for shading http://s32.postimg.org/5ygkcj8id/image.jpg Morty Green sprayed here and there for further shading.

KBA Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 A couple ETL updates: A little old now but thought I'd throw it in here. Waiting on paints in the mail before I can hit the Titan again: http://s33.postimg.org/usmuk6x7j/image.jpg And then another part of my vow that I've been making some progress on: http://s33.postimg.org/kz3recmu7/image.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4407206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 http://s33.postimg.org/yynk46omn/image.jpg Bit more work! Edged out the sea green plates, now just need choom paint and final highlights on the metallics and hair :) Threw in the SoH marine to show the switch in color scheme. Way more happy with it :) Update: http://s33.postimg.org/77serao8f/image.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4407674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 More Contemptor fun :) : I really dig the DG Contemptor. It's battle damage works well with this build. I've always wanted a siege contemptor. The Leviathans were a step in the right direction, but the original chassis still had potential IMO. With the Iron Circle release, I was eager to order the bitz. Going to build another :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4434659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Glad you dig it! :) Feel free to steal anything in here, anyone. I'm sure I wasn't the first to think of half of these ideas and I won't be the last :) EDIT: Anyone else thinking that hammer shaft is a tad too long? I already chopped some off the bottom portion, but may give it another gingsu slice. Bring it in a little.

lionofjudah Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 That's so $$$$!! Dang skippy! I saw the IC shield and thought it would be perfect for the Contemptor... Wonder about the dread knight hammer in lieu of the IC polehammer?? Head seems a lil... Small/off... I don't know. Maybe if it could sit back a mm or 2 it might blend in a lil more Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4434688 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soldier of Dorn Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 See on the one hand, I love the conversion. Now I need to track me down an Iron Circle shield to replicate it to some extent. On the other, I'm sad to see that you didn't use the DG Contemptor head (which is another bit I have to get ahold of.) In my opinion, it's one of the best parts of the kit and (I think) would make him look even more like a giant-ass Breacher. But good work all 'round, mate! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4434787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Thanks for the comments, guys :). Shield, Hammer, and head are not set yet. Believe me, that DG head is awfully tempting. Luckily, I've got another one of those brutes to bash up, and the next will definitely have its head. EDIT: Want the head, Psycho? I don't need two. PM incoming.

Flint13 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I have to back up Psycho, every cm of that guy is amazing, but his head looks just an itttttty bit... itty? Other than that detail, this is the coolest dread conversion I've seen this year. Great work man! Is he going to end up in sea green too?

Knight of the Raven Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 When all you have is a hammer (and a huge shield), every problem starts looking like a nail... especially when you're the size of a windmill. I don't want to be the Don Quixote who goes to fight this giant. I honestly would have preferred if he held the hammer in both hands. I'm not feeling the shields. But then again, I don't care for the Iron Circle models either so... (Maybe that's what an atomantic pavise looks like though.)

Other than that detail, this is the coolest dread conversion I've seen this year. Great work man! Is he going to end up in sea green too? Thanks for the kudos :) He will definitely be sea green. Some etched brass, trophies, and transfers should help with more of a SoH identity. I think with a little more trimming of the head, so it sits lower in the socket, and the head will work out better :). Definitely going to have him choke up on the hammer a little. That should go a long way to balancing things out a little. Those Iron Circle hammers are crazy long.

DuskRaider Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 BTW, I'm stealing this idea for my Death Guard. I've been wanting to do something similar for a while, but didn't want to use the Grey Knight Dreadknight.

Dagoth Ur Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Awesome stuff! However one small nitpick: Would it be possible to put some cables around the hammer-holding fist/gyro as right now the contrast between broad and small is very jarring and I think it might look even more ornate and awesome if the transition would be just a tad smoother. Other than that, awesome awesome awesome!! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4435485 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Or better yet, will the Iron Circle forearm connect to the Contemptor elbow at all?is there any way to make it work like that?

KBA Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not without having it way too long for my tastes.

Daemon2027 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 That's a great use of the iron circle shield. I was wondering how big they were was thinking of giving one to a truescale marine but would be far to big.

KBA Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 Hey folks. Been a while. Failed my ETL vow. Shameful. Built a new character though :) : http://s16.postimg.org/6z2xfp29x/image.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/303389-kbas-heresy-thread/page/10/#findComment-4471216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Damn, that's sweet. I am glad you decided to start true-scaling, man. While it's not for everyone, you have the skill and dedication to detail to pull it off, and not only that, but pull it off well. This character is probably the pinnacle of your recent work: the posing, the shoulder pads in combination with the Cataphractii Praetor's body, it all looks completely on point.

KBA Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 http://s18.postimg.org/vd238nhfd/image.jpg My take on a 30K Forge Lord. I wanted him to look a lot more like a Martian Adept than the 40k counterparts, so I went with the hood and some machine incantation seals along with some bitz and bobs that looked like they may be of use to him :) All in all, he probably looks like a DG tech marine more than anything but paint will fix that. I'm thinking a red hood with checkered rim, but I'm not sure if the armor will see any crimson.
