Pre ETL Fun: Who is Cypher? Build comp, Winner announced!


Dantay VI

Recommended Posts

I forgot to take a picture last night! Boo! The components I used came from the Deathwing Terminators box, the Dark Angels Veterans box, the Sternguard Veterans box, the new Belial mini, and a Chaos marine backpack.

 

I'm using the little Watcher in the Dark guy holding a sword from the Deathwing box to represent the Lion sword. I trimmed off the power weapon leads and I'm planning to paint it to look like a sheathed sword. I hope that interpretation works!

 

Pictures to follow!

Right I finally have my Cypher done (I think)... Backpack and Torso are just blu-tac'd on at the moment to make it easier for painting, and I am not sure on the Wolf Backpack. Thinking of maybe switching to a smaller DA model but would be interested to hear what y'all think biggrin.png .

First pic post (please be gentle msn-wink.gif )

Thanks Alakinsly. It's Sternguard Veteran legs, a Chaos Havok torso front, Space Marine Commander cloaked back, chopped down and added Chaos Marauder fur piece to flair out the cloak, DA Veteran Headpiece, Chaos Warrior sheathed sword, one Chaos Marauder shoulder pad, one Space Wolves pack shoulder pad. Plasma pistol and arm from Space Marine Commander. Bolt Pistol and arm from Space Wolves Pack, and the backpack is one from Wolf Lord Krom. I think it turned out pretty ok to be honest.

Just a lot of bits I had around. Nothing very sexy but I'd field him. I've always thought the icons on top of those pistols looked like lions not wolves so they got the nod. Not sure about the back pack vent decorations at this point...

I'm really loving the models everyone is producing and can't wait to see them painted up.

 

There's something quite satisfying seeing all these 190 point models coming together ready to catapult us forward with completed points. Even if someone was going to sit on the sidelines this ETL they could just take part in this and it would help us with the completed % and total points value.

As we were looking at getting this done by the 1st which was the expected start date of the ETL is it not worth pushing the end date back to the 15th? Makes it more accessible to more people!

This would be most welcome! :P 

 

Worst comes to worst I can blue tac on some spare pistols I have here till mine come in (is that acceptible?)

While I understand that moving the deadline from midnight on the first, to the 15th may make it more accessible to people.

 

It would allow me to enter my own Cypher

 

The deadline of the first will remain.

 

The plan was and is to run a poll of completed Cyphers and allow the pack to choose the best constructed with the deadline for that being the 15th May.

 

As a second challenge, from the 15thMay to the 15th August we will be running another challenge which will be for best painted Cypher.

 

So please do not feel that by missing the deadline of the first you should not complete your Cypher as not only would it be a shame to see efforts go to waste, but there is a second bite at the cherry, so to speak.

 

Thanks

I hope it's ok the backpack is primed. The only one I could find that style and that was back when I primed on the sprue.

How did you get on lovesmuffins?

 

The Cypher competition is now closed.

 

I need to figure out how to get a hold of all the completed pictures and to make a poll.

Ended up crashing after work that morning didnt finish him up

Lovesmuffins and Graymane get them finished anyway. Let's rack up those extra points for beating the DA's and end up with some tastey models as well!!!

 

I'm liking none are alike. They all keep to the theme but other than that they are all individually fantastic. :tu:
