NovaScotius Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi all, I'm after a little help with the Alexis Polux miniature; I'm looking at picking him up to use him as the basis for a conversion (and for maximum sacrilege, he'll end up as an Iron Warrior!). My concern is that I've seen a lot of posts saying that he's "massive" compared to regular Mk 3 marines, but I can't find any pictures anywhere that give a true idea of how much bigger he really is. Has anyone got a decent comparison shot? I understand that giving him a helmet requires his gorget to be removed first - does anyone have a picture of this, or a picture of a finished model with a helmet conversion? Also, as I'm looking to change his equipment completely, could anyone give me an idea of how well the model meshes with kits such as the weapon upgrade sets, in particular, the Legion Mk 3 Power Weapon set? Thank you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318266-converting-the-alexis-polux-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Conversion for a helmet below. You need to take a large chunk out of the Gorget but it still looks good. I would obviously say that haha /164409-20573214408-d8c3220375-k/][/url] This is the best size comparison i have. Honestly yes he is bigger but nothing too extreme. He doesnt look out of place hes just a large Astartes. The base does add a lot to the model aswell. image/164410-20574469019-c9778a17d8-k/][/url] Hope thats helpful!

Kastor Krieg Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 He's not very bulky, but he surely is a head taller than the same-posed FW Praetor. He carries a tower shield as a storm shield. He has a huge power fist and still has a combi-melta underslung on it, Dreadnought-style. And he's able to hit with that power fist ON INITIATIVE. His shoulder pads are terminator pads over normal ones, his gorget and leg armour are pieces from a Cataphractii TDA. He's taller than Asterion Moloc in his TDA.He's an absolute monster of a Power Armoured Space Marine. I'd imagine Alpharius / Omegon are about his size.http://i.imgur.com/p5GowLu.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318266-converting-the-alexis-polux-model/#findComment-4277951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesh Kadesh Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Going by the Praetor, he's not that much taller... the bases aren't exactly level.

Lord Blackwood Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I elected not to cut the collar part of his armor so mine looks like this Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318266-converting-the-alexis-polux-model/#findComment-4277993 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongGone Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Do yourself a favor and peruse the Sons of Horus "Rukal Breachers" thread somewhere here abouts. It's the schmexiest non-Fist Alexis Polux I ever done seen.
