dode74 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) in the normal marine codex, our army picture is captioned as Iron Hands as well. Yeah, I noticed that on p96. Funny thing is the very same pic is in the previous codex p125 but correctly captioned! Just finished up a Phobos Librarian and am starting on an Invictor. Once that is done Shrike will be next up and I plan on doing the head swap too - thanks for all the advice to those who have done it already.

Claws and Effect Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 So all these assembled Shrikes are being vowed for the painting comp right? ;) Mine's already done.... I'm impatient and wanted to use him in a game ASAP and I refuse to field gray plastic. duz_ and Brother Quixote 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Quixote Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Seeing the different angles I feel like the jump pack is too big... I wonder how much work would be needed to drop the top set of jets/grav bits? 0 work. You can leave the jet pack without the top part and it actually looks good. I had serious doubts before decide to go with the complete version. See, this is good to know. The overly busy backpack is the one thing that puts me off the model. From a distance and in silhouette it looks like a Techpriest saw an illustration of a helicopter, then tried to put rotors on a backpack and couldn't get it to work. Maybe that's just me.

duz_ Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) Nearly finished my Shrike last night :D There was a bit more plastic attaching the helmet to the pouch than I expected. Managed to cut if off and saved the rest of the pouch including the mounting lug Any damage to the rear of the helmet is fortunately hidden by the armour and backpack I also gave him a FW MkVI shoulder pad a slightly more ornate pad as well I will probably do Archons modified barrier to pose Shrike on although later on I might use a resin scenic base when funds allow I looked into flipping the talons forwards but I couldn't seem to get them to sit properly in that position Edit Oh and I was too lazy to change my blade out so when I was cutting off the helmet when I finally broke throw it flew across the room and landed right on the edge a floor hearing vent :o So watch out for flying helmets! ;) Double edit Also for the base of the helmet I just trimmed off his regular head base and glued that into position then glued the helmet in top of that Seemed to work ok?

Claws and Effect Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The only things I changed were the orientation of his foot claws (just flipped them over and they look better in my opinion) and I exchanged his pads. I replaced the left pad with the Sgt pad from the upgrade sprue and the right one with a MkVI pad with a scroll on it. I'm going to write his name on it and add a transfer of some sort.

temneb Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 All hail to the first posting a Primaris shrike with his beaky helmet on. Ask and you shall receive. Sorry for the bad photos. Mini photography (and a cracked lens) are not my strong suit: Edit: you'll note I did not attach the "bling" hanging from his belt. That is intentional; I will paint that on sprue and put it on afterwards. I also have to do some mould line removal, but I wanted to be the first up with his helmet :-) Has anyone had a crack at repositioning his pistol arm to an extended position? Think that would look the goods with the head facing this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Looking at the sprue it would require some chopping and greenstuff work. I'm considering it for when I get mine. I hate how GW is making these models hard to convert but I may give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorNese Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 To make it an outstretched arm, it might be possible to cut off at the elbow and put on a reiver arm. I'm thinking of giving him an absolver bolt pistol, the regular one is too small. With additional sights and silencer, or maybe compensator. And a helmet. And his old jump pack. And a regular base. duz_ and Dracos 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Anyone else find it funny that his foot claws aren't long enough to swing around to the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archon_77 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Yes! Thats why I flipped mine... so they can grab on to wall and such for parallel hanging :D Dracos 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Figured this was the best place to put this. A guy in the ICs FB group has been drawing really awesome 40k artwork for inktober. His latest one is a mashup of Shrike and baseball. Thought it looked great and wanted to throw it here: Link to original post: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216180486647349&set=gm.495767471021103&type=3&theater&ifg=1 Brom MKIV 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MajorNese Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I don't have any of those factions. But I was under the impression that some guys over here would be interested. Better than have it collect dust over here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
