Apemantus Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Here's a WIP shot of my IF Apothecary, because I don't use a command squad for my captain I've been unable to field an Apothecary so I decided to covert one for my Chaplain's Terminator command squad, he acts as a normal Terminator but I thought it would be nice to have one, parts include Calgar's arm, the company champion's helmet, and parts from the command squad and commander box sets. The Idea for the power fist on top of his armour came from a bit of IF fluff, The process to activate the gene-seed and create new space marines in the Imperial Fists is called 'The Hand of Faith' ( Info taken from pg 20 of 2nd edition Codex Blood Angels, for those interested) Flicking through an old WD showed me how do get the power fist right and also makes it stand out. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/funkyjo/00apoth1.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/funkyjo/00apoth2.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/funkyjo/00apoth3.jpg A side note on how much better a model looks when it has a good base, A picture of Vermaas with a plain base and another with his new base which I've just finished. Any body collecting an Imperial Fists of Iron Warriors army (or any other army fighting on urban battlefields) should have a look at the Urban Basing Kit. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/funkyjo/00vermaas.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/funkyjo/vermaas.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/88915-if-apothecary/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironloki Posted June 3, 2006 Share Posted June 3, 2006 Looks great apart from the fist on his head. I can see what you were doing but it doesn't work for me and makes it overbusy. Chop it off and it will look miles better. But very funky looking and I love the wings on the shoulders :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/88915-if-apothecary/#findComment-1022622 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apemantus Posted June 3, 2006 Author Share Posted June 3, 2006 quick update, it's still in it's raw stage. From a base coat of chaos black several shades of grey were dry brushed followed by a few layers of skull white, the arm is dry brushed vomit brown, highlighted bleached bone and then shaded with ink yellow. The base has also been started. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/funkyjo/000apth.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/88915-if-apothecary/#findComment-1022697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
