Claws and Effect Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 As the title suggests, I'm looking into kitbashing a Shrike model. I really hate the official model, and have little hope we'll get a new one any time soon. Space Marines do not frolick! My goal is to get my kitbash to look as much like the cover of the Shrike novel as possible. I plan on getting Edryc Setorax for his claws and jump pack. I am going to use the left pad from Korvydae, and I have a helmet from the FW upgrade pack that will work. I'm just stuck on the rest of his body. I'm considering getting the FW etched brass to use a small symbol for the middle of his chest, but I don't know if the sizes will work. Any suggestions on parts to use? (I'll post the WIP and results in this thread) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334396-kitbashing-shrike/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hmmm. Kitbash means no conversions? Korydae's torso would be easiest, I think. I can't copy/paste but I'll look around.

Claws and Effect Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Already used Korvydae's body, not trying to buy another. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334396-kitbashing-shrike/#findComment-4774462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I read that. The current VV set have decent legs. I thought maybe Death Company legs. There is a first run VV body that might work, but serious cutting would be needed on an arm and head.

Claws and Effect Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Cutting is fine, I'm just not confident in my sculpting ability. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334396-kitbashing-shrike/#findComment-4774475 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hmmm. What about a dude from the first VV set with the left arm power sword? IIRC, the PS arm is separate, so the right arm w/BP will need some work. Also the Mk8 helmet would have to go.

SanguinaryGuardsman Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 http://anvilindustry.co.uk/Exo-Lords/Cloaks-and-Loincloths/Regal-Cloaks Use these cloaks... really nice fit on GW space marines. Also.. if you arent strictly wysiwyg then these would make pretty cool weapons. http://bitsofwar.com/home/40-vibro-katanas.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334396-kitbashing-shrike/#findComment-4774484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 It will be WYSIWYG. I'm using Edryc Setorax's claws. The Raven Guard Deathwatch guy. I like the curve his claws have. Thanks for the cloak idea, though. I was eondering how I was going to do his half cloak/feathers thing on his back side.

Claws and Effect Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hmmm. I might have an idea for his torso. I still have a couple torsos from the FW upgrade pack. One has the chapter symbol in the middle of the chest. Just need to figure out how to do jump pack straps out of Milliput. Instead of greenstuff, because it's what I have.

Claws and Effect Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Hmm. Solaq's legs? I'm getting some cool ideas. Hopefully I don't screw it up. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334396-kitbashing-shrike/#findComment-4774538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Did you ever see Tyler Mengel's remake of Shrike with the Lord Executioner making up most of it? http://i.imgur.com/yRbPmxs.png He did more sculpting than you're wanting to do, but you've already got a head and at least one shoulder pad picked out.

Noxnoctis22 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Here's a kitbashed model I did for my DIY RG chapter. Swiftstrike & Murder Captain but can be used as Shrike as well.

MajorNese Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Got a damaged Corax model off ebay.

Mr. Poe Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I am a fellow kit-bash enthusiast. Have you thought about maybe using a torso from the Dark Fury models? They have a variety of poses to choose from. Edit: You can snipe some of the Dark Fury torso's online pretty easy.

Claws and Effect Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think I have my plan figured out. - Head from the RG upgrade kit from FW - Regular assault squad torso with etched brass and purity seals added. - Solaq's legs. - Edryc Setorax's claws and jump pack. - One of the cloaks SanguinaryGuardsman suggested, built up to look like Shrike's bird tail cloak thing. - A base from somewhere so I can pose him as though he is looking over the battlefield prior to springing into action. Sound good? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334396-kitbashing-shrike/#findComment-4775622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claws and Effect Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Well, it HASN'T happened yet. Still need to buy most of the parts. Looks like I'll have to buy a whole Company Command box for the legs.

Atomsk the Pragmatist Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Gotta say Yak... that model is incredible. What recipe did you use to get the Olive Green, it has a darker and gritty feel to it.

Claws and Effect Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 @Race: Remember my take on Murderwings? Korvydae's body with a Dark Fury jump pack. Don't want to repeat myself, ya know? I'm specifically trying to make this look as much like artwork pf Shrike as possible. Just so there's no question who it is.
