Noctus Cornix Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Evening, ladies and gentlemen. This week has been kind of bleh being sick for most of it. Haven't been to work since they won't allow me to be around the students with a fever (school policy) and I've been sort of lacking in the inspiration for 40k. It's been a bit of a pain but I was thumbing over the Weekender thread and I couldn't help but marvel at just how much I enjoyed the Mid-Heresy look of the World Eaters. A sample of the color scheme can be found here. Then I found this art piece that, while I found the random difference in color scheme and armor between some of the marines to be really odd, I was inspired. Link to it because the art itself is too big for the website. Now, I don't think this will lead to an army or anything like that (still have my Word Bearers to do first) but I thought I'd make at least one 'test' model of a World Eater with the Mid-Heresy test scheme. I might prime him a bit later today or just wait until tomorrow. i'll paint him up within a couple of days and probably provide some fluff and information on him. So, without further ado, here is 'Red Hand' Assault Legionary Yhorn Kharad, World Eaters Legion, 9th Company. http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20160210_155010_zpsrk1x498g.jpg http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20160210_155021_zps8hicnw3x.jpg http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20160210_155034_zpsxhwqpqu7.jpg Enjoy.

Grim Dog Studios Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 That is one absolutely fantastic conversion! Can't wait to see him painted up.

Soldier of Dorn Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Man, he's absolutely brutal. The waist looks a bit odd (to my eyes, at least) but overall he's awesome.

Noctus Cornix Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Man, he's absolutely brutal. The waist looks a bit odd (to my eyes, at least) but overall he's awesome. What about the waist looks off, if I may ask?

Scribe Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 It looks like he has 2 belts. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319094-mid-heresy-world-eaters-assault-legionary/#findComment-4302413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Aha, that's the issue. Well, rather than denote it as what I assumed to be an overlapping piece of armour for the top of the tabard, I decided I would instead paint it the same color as the leather, sort of to explain why its hanging a bit looser especially since he is bent slightly forward. On Yhorn's right side, you can see it goes underneath the belt of his armor.

Skalpynock Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Man, he's absolutely brutal. The waist looks a bit odd (to my eyes, at least) but overall he's awesome. What about the waist looks off, if I may ask? The balteus' belt looks off, just kinda… hanging there, attached to nothing.

Noctus Cornix Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hmm... seems to be rather unanimous that the belt looks off... Alright, let me see what I can do to fix that...

DimDim Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hmm... seems to be rather unanimous that the belt looks off... Alright, let me see what I can do to fix that... Even just chopping the belt part off can help the roman tabbard look better. Not to clutter your thread, but something like this worked for me: Hope this helps as the mini is excellent otherwise!

Noctus Cornix Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Alright, as per DimDim's excellent suggestion, how does this look? http://i915.photobucket.com/albums/ac352/Noctus-Cornix/20160210_190532_zpsneeu0abs.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319094-mid-heresy-world-eaters-assault-legionary/#findComment-4302486 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimDim Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Alright, as per DimDim's excellent suggestion, how does this look? *snip Definately better in my opinion. Could use a little work maybe, but better than the double belt :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319094-mid-heresy-world-eaters-assault-legionary/#findComment-4302490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctus Cornix Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thanks, mate.

captainblow Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Oh yeah, that guy looks brutal like a WE should. I personally liked the belt, but the tabard without it will look awesome once its cleaned up more.

I personally liked the belt, but the tabard without it will look awesome once its cleaned up more. Honestly, I think I preferred him with the belt too, but if it was noticeable issue with quite a few people right off the bat and at such a central location, I thought it would be more appropriate to simply bite the bullet and keep the flow of the model itself in higher priority than personal preference. Small update, I primed Yhorm earlier today after a bit of a clean up and I will start painting him shortly. Stay tuned.

Slips Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 What if it was a Belt of Skulls around the waist? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319094-mid-heresy-world-eaters-assault-legionary/#findComment-4303863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warp Rider Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Wow, awesome work! This is how I've always envisioned World Eaters and I'm sure it will look brutal with the new scheme. Looking forward to seeing more.

Fire Golem Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I liked the original belt too, for what it's worth now :P excellent model though. Perfectly World Eater. I really like that helmet too, shame you can't just buy them.

Brother Dallo Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I like how his name is essentially a spoonerism of Khorne.
