KJB Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Afternoon all, I originally built this guy to be an Imperial Fist Captain, however, I couldn't go through with it and brought him back to my first love, the Blood Angels (blame Space Crusade) So, 2 questions... 1. Thoughts in general - Is he missing anything? 2. The boob shield, I added it because I thought it looked good, however, upon checking the Terminator box further, it looks like its meant to be worn in pairs - Does it look OK as is, or am I going to have to trawl eBay to find another?

Panzer Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 He looks great imo. Please don't call it boob shield lol. It has nothing to do with boobs or even just the chest. It's a tilt shield and originally meant to protect the armpit when raising the arm (even if it doesn't work that way with the way it's attached to the pauldron for Space Marines). It's also not really meant to be worn in pairs since you usually only raise your weapon arm like that while with the other arm the soldier is usually wearing a shield etc. Not sure where you are looking that you think it should be in pairs.

RedemptionNL Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looks good! I like the use of the 500th anniversary store model. Not sure where you are looking that you think it should be in pairs. The Terminator Sergeant that orignally uses it wears two: But it's the only one that wears two, so I wouldn't fuss about it. It looks fine as-is.

Panzer Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 I see. Couldn't find that model with a quick google search. The tilt shields are more decoration than anything practical on Marine models anyway considering they are attached to the pauldrons and even on the side of the shield arm lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356572-blood-angels-new-day-new-army/#findComment-5330330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looks good. Would you fancy entering him as a vow in our ETL? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356572-blood-angels-new-day-new-army/#findComment-5330345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulon Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looks good. Would you fancy entering him as a vow in our ETL? Seconded on both points! :) :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356572-blood-angels-new-day-new-army/#findComment-5330352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJB Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 Looks good. Would you fancy entering him as a vow in our ETL? I’m asking Captain Semper to allow me to change my vow, as I’d already vowed a Watch Captain in the Deathwatch forum...

KJB Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Sarge built for my first Intercessor squad, debating whether to remove the power sword arm and go with the fist from the Sanguinary Guard box.... Thoughts? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356572-blood-angels-new-day-new-army/#findComment-5332896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think the sword looks cool and with Red Thirst, you will be wounding other MEQs well enough.

KJB Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 Wasn't 100% sold with the power sword, so removed his arm and added the power fist from the Sanguinary Guard box instead... Much happier, now onto the rest of the squad...

Dosjetka Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'd say the power fist is a definite improvement over the power sword. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356572-blood-angels-new-day-new-army/#findComment-5335920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
