Ion Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 So I'm not much of a painter, but I do like putting together models, and I like making individuals for the heck of it, so I thought I might throw some of them here, starting with my current project. I don't have a decent camera, or a light box, so I apologise in advance for the poor quality of the pictures. Anyway, here's my attempt at modelling a Thunder Warrior, my first real go at sculpting anything more complicated than hair and fur. http://i.imgur.com/vgywS5Q.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QYDFqie.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zTFGIjI.jpg And a size comparison http://i.imgur.com/wpUdZ1L.jpg He's mostly blu tacked together to get a feel for the pose and potential weapons, and I'm not sure if I should go for an unhelmeted head for more character or keep it as is. I'm finding it very hard to sculpt symmetrical armour plates too...

Ion Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 Gotten frustrated with the Thunder Warrior, trying to make the chest armour look good and still functional is a pain. Here's another of my character models, a Chaplain/Delegatus model for my Sons of Horus. His fluff will appear at some point in a progress log for them when I can be bothered making it. http://i.imgur.com/0fjhfW6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rjfPhqE.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312102-ions-character-wips-thunder-warrior/#findComment-4147033 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 That Delegatus/Chaplain is...wow. I've seen the chainmaul (chaincrozius?) done before on B&C, can't remember where, but the entire model is really well put together. Great use of an IW head.

jeremy1391 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I made a chain maul many moons ago before I settled on fists. ION definitely did it better! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/jeremy1391/5E300899-DF07-4841-9A70-42EC46F79429-8597-00000B0F870335A7_zps8610ad0a.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312102-ions-character-wips-thunder-warrior/#findComment-4147102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Wow the chainmaul is badass. I must steal that idea!. *yoink* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312102-ions-character-wips-thunder-warrior/#findComment-4147162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ion Posted August 15, 2015 Author Share Posted August 15, 2015 I couldn't think of a chaplain head that I thought would look good on him, but then I saw the IW ones and figured 'hey, if the IW players don't want them....' plus it fits in with all the bionics he has going on there. The chainmaul was fun but also a pain, I had to trim parts of it to make it fit and it's really big which can make it look comical (I was worried about that) Honestly, the more I look at it the more it's asking to be used as the head for a meteor hammer wielding World Eater.
