General Zodd Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 On 5/31/2022 at 2:23 PM, Mandragola said: I was always quite disappointed with the Sigismund model because I felt that his legs were too small for his body (or it was too big I guess). So poor old Siggy had been languishing in a bits box with no legs for a few years, until now. I had a sort of brainwave about the BT Marshall from the army box. I'm very unlikely to ever make a BT army and if I do it'll probably be led by Helbrecht, so I hadn't put him together. This provided me with a nice new pair of legs for Sigismund, appropriately covered in archaic details. I particularly like the belt. I wasn't planning on giving him a cloak but I think it actually works quite well here, blowing around. Quite a bit of GS work is going to be needed around the back to tidy up the joins but from this angle I think he looks quite fun. With many thanks to Mandragola for allowing me to steal his idea, may I present my attempt at Sigismund!

Loquille Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Thanks guys :) @Jud Cottrell I kept the cloak separate for undercoating but attached it after as I realised there's no chance anyone will ever see the bolter attached to it. Besides that I kept the sword arms free for painting.

Corswain Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Shame about the small breaks but at least he looks different to everyone else's. Still a nice model and I don't think it loses anything without them. Minuros 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Kraskor Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Very nice. I love the idea that the tracer isn't to help the Havoc's targeting, but to demoralise enemy forces as they witness their allies being pinpointed with such ferociously accurate firepower.

Indeed, that was the intent! 19 hours ago, Sothalor said: Ohh that 1-in-5 tracer on the belt of shells is absolutely blissful. My intent with this project was to demonstrate that Iron Warriors aren't "Lead belcha and a nuln wash"; as an old, now enemy, friend used to say. Why not go above and beyond and paint such small details? 16 hours ago, Brother Kraskor said: Very nice. I love the idea that the tracer isn't to help the Havoc's targeting, but to demoralise enemy forces as they witness their allies being pinpointed with such ferociously accurate firepower. Bingo- and maybe for the Havocs' squadmates - to be able to pinpoint in peripheral vision where the fire arcs are coming, no need to waste ammunition on double tapping something.

LameBeard Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Been a while since I posted any models, but I am inching forward on a few projects. Here’s some actual finished models: They were an experiment in speed-painting. And a total failure! Since it has been more than a year since I got these. I will need a rethink for the next half of the squad. And yes, I realise now the hazard stripes go the wrong way. Despite some great advice from @Cadmus Tyro, I decided to keep the legion symbol off the blue and put on the leg instead, keeping the tactical marking on the right shoulder. I have some Tartaros I was going to do as World Eater too, but am worried about the scale difference. Here’s new vs my original World Eater (squad still not complete, maybe 15 years in the ‘in progress' pile?

SkimaskMohawk Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 It's a bit shocking how a helmet swap can help so much with both the mk 6 and what we've seen of the new mk 3. LameBeard 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Agree. I like beakies but they just didn't seem right for my World Eaters. I want my Alpha Legion beakies to feel special (but again, worried about the scale change, so didn't give the new Mk VI to them - at least not yet. Still have plenty spare!).

IMHO the new helmet sizes are too small. They don’t look like they could accommodate a head, even with the bare head scale reduction. Helmets should look a little oversized. I think GW are going for a different aesthetic in 2.0, which unfortunately along with the poor quality of rules writing, poor FAQ support post release and the blatant attempt to prevent players using existing collections (in particular esoteric units), has curbed my appetite for new purchases.

Pearson73 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Great posing @Cadmus Tyro liking the chap on the base too, which legion are you thinking for him? Nice work @LameBeard the head swaps really do help a lot. I've also used the new MKVI to bash some better proportioned MKIV.
