Luna707 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 While the first adds to the ascetic of the countess, I believe it clashes with the industrial feel of the rogue trader and the platform itself. I definitely think the second head congeals better with the over all look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent aquila Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 random idea, the eversor assasins' head is way cool, and i think MOAR SKULLZZZ is always a good thing, so. could make it like a deaths' mask or somethin?? feel free to disregard, just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binary Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 What about the bare head from eidolan? Has the arrogant look an RT would have, with a touch of the eccentric that the DE head has. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m200/mark_kilburn/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-03/98FB0F57-E633-4E95-BCA9-530082DF9E4E_zpsjm4w0fed.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be on the lookout for that head. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. The death ask idea isn't bad either. I've entertained using a harlequin mask, but that's just too... Harlequin.

KBA Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 While the search continues for that pesky eidolon head, I've been up to some fun in the AoD forums in anticipation of ETL: http://s4.postimg.org/mr3w9cqil/image.jpg Priming imminent!

Dantay VI Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 You could just buy Eidolon, use the bare head for your mini and use the helmeted head Eidolon comes with, for the Lord Commander himself, then vow him for ETL too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 ‘To uphold the honor of my Legion, my Primarch, and my Emperor: on this oath I so swear’ The ink had faded through the consequences of war, but the words remained ever true; the seal clinging to the war-plate of Roka as he led brothers through breach. The Son of Horus darted past crossfire, smashing into cover like a comet as he rolled, a thick dust tail in his wake. He tasted blood on his smile for a brief moment before his superhuman physiology clotted whatever injury he sustained from the impact. Battle amused him. This battle especially amused him. The XIXth had delivered the glory of The Emperor to Istvaan III yet they had grown to reject his light. The time for illumination was over. Roka’s top-knot cast a long shadow in late day rays as his Mark III helmet dared to asses his predicament, peeping over strewn rebar. His auto-senses made the whizzing munitions fire sound like xiphon engines as they screamed past his head. Stuck. His squad had taken position at the mouth of the imploded wall twenty paces behind him, intent on steadily grasping victory instead of lunging for it as Roka had. Such was the burning lust to seize victory the closer it neared, the vice almost legion-wide. The crossfire intensified and the pinned legionary felt the rubble decay around him. The Son of Horus’ smile returned. Streaking through the atmosphere came a sable drop pod, its jet-stream billowing behind as it cut downward: a dagger from heaven. The transport’s reverse thrusters ignited, screeching the pod to crater the ground behind Roka’s squad. Even from his position, Roka could hear the famed guttural howls of Cthonia’s finest: the dreaded Justaerin. He could hear their heavy armor plating clang as they proudly strode from their pod. He could hear their chain-axes roar to life, thirsting to bite flesh and drink blood. He could hear… Screaming? Confusion possessed Roka. He felt his body instinctively begin to rise. Above the blown-apart rockcrete and rebar from which he crouched. Into the crossfire as crude ballistics ricocheted off his sea-green plate. He rose. And yet everything within him fell. Twenty paces near, the hulking Justaerin cleaved, chopped, and butchered his brothers. Roka’s hand broke away from his bolter, painfully knowing it wasn’t up to task. He recited his oath as his hand moved towards the Terran gladius at his waist. http://s32.postimg.org/5y4lwjvat/image.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/p5rqt5dmd/image.jpg ***************************************** True-Scale SoH. I blame Luna mostly with his stellar Iron Hands. These are a direction I was headed for quite some time, and after getting fed up for the last time lengthening the normal marine legs, I finally made the switch :). On other fronts, Eidolon's neato head has been sourced and it is on its way. Pretty excited about that. And ETL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came together organically, pretty much like all the stuff I've done. Just grab some bitz and go kind of deal. This may be why he ended up with a bolt pistol on his belt despite the choom.

A pretty simple rank and file, but I do think that head makes him pop. I'm really liking the 'heroic scale' look with these types of true scale with the huge bodies/small heads.
