IronDreddKnight Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 So here’s a link to my Lias Issodon conversion. I used the Artemis model because he has a running pose to, which expresses his special rule to +1 move, advance, charge distances. https://imgur.com/gallery/a07a3Hu I look forward to your comments, feel free to post your own conversions here :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350670-lias-issodon-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 He looks promising. I hope to see the completed model (painted, with a decorated base) soon.

Aothaine Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Looking good! Is this for the diorama event? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350670-lias-issodon-conversion/#findComment-5175661 Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdeltafoxtrot Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The posing is great, he's very dynamic. My one gripe would be that the melta barrel is very recognisably a melta barrel. Are you going to fill the vents to make it look more like a suppressor?

Thanks, it might be a while until I get around to paint him. I’ve got a lot of unpainted models at the moment. Looking good! Is this for the diorama event? Thanks, though it’s just for game play. I wasn’t aware of any diorama event Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350670-lias-issodon-conversion/#findComment-5175893 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to fill the vents to make it look more like a suppressor? Thank you, I chose the melta barrel, because “malice” has ap-4 same as a melta gun (all be it at S5 not S8 and D3 damage not D6) I feel like it illustrates the armour penetration value.

jpwyrm Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Very cool model brother, good job. I too feel like the melta feels kinda wrong, even though I like the thought process behind it. Don't forget to add a sword somewhere though. Even if he does not seek CC, Lias is no slouch in combat.

I hadn’t forgotten the sword, I just couldn’t figure out where to put it. Obviously his hands are in use, so it would have to be in its sheath. That causes it’s own problem in finding a sheathed sword. Any ideas please Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350670-lias-issodon-conversion/#findComment-5176001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronDreddKnight Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Would a adeptus custodes misericordia dagger be too small as a stand in power sword?

Dracos Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 For a sheathed sword I’d suggest checking Black Templar and Sternguard bits. Yeeeaaars ago I would glue a sword against the backpack or vet sgts to represent a power sword, back when initiative counted for something.

Yeeeaaars ago I would glue a sword against the backpack or vet sgts to represent a power sword, back when initiative counted for something. Thanks for suggesting this. As it happens I do have a sheathed black templar sword. But I’ve found it looks too big. In my mind, Lias would want a smaller sword for greater manoeuvrability over a longer sword for combat. I’m thinking like a Roman soldier, he has a spear as his primary weapon, it has greater range (like Lias’ rifle) and keeps him out of harms way. And he also has a short sword as a secondary, in case things hit the fan. That’s my thoughts anyway :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350670-lias-issodon-conversion/#findComment-5176482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfdeltafoxtrot Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 For my Lieutenant conversion I found a reasonably sized combat knife and slipped it into the gap between his back and his power plant. They come with a chainsword by default but none of my RG have chainswords (too noisy) and as I'd envisaged my Lt as a sniper first I didn't want to put too much work into finding him a sword.

golfdeltafoxtrot Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I gave my converted Lieutenant a moderately sized combat blade that I found in my bits box as a stand-in for his chainsword. I envisaged him as a sniper but as all Lts come with a chainsword by default I wanted to represent some kind of blade on him and none of my RG use chainswords (too noisy for my liking). I slipped it between his back and his power plant as though it is mag-locked to his shoulder ready for an overhead draw should something get too close.

I like the idea of having the melee weapon being magnet locked to the back pack, I’ll see if I can do this. Although I think the cloak will be in the way Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350670-lias-issodon-conversion/#findComment-5176611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johanhgg Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I’m ordering it right away. Funny enough I’m laying here in bed putting my daughter to sleep thinking about how to convert a new Issodon, then this pops out! Must be a sign from the emperor himself.
