madscuzzy Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 It has reallie been a while since I've done up a single model like this. I've been editing the other units in the army moreso than creating something new, but the pose came to me one day and I had to do it... ;) I originally only had him without the JP, but figured I'd like the option to field one. I had planned to use him as a company champion at first... but I guess he got promoted...^_^ http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1894.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1895.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1896.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1897.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1898.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1899.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1902.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1903.jpg http://scuzworks.com/SL40K/WIP/Swordmaster/IMG_1904.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger-than-Jesus Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Could you show how you did the arms, I can't think of the one's you'd need for that pose. BTW that's so stolen It's not even funny lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 very nice madscuzzy. the tabard is great and i love the studs on the grieves. but what stands out is the posing. outstanding work. PS is the right shoulder pad a GS sculpt??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Well MS, Looks like you did it again, and again :D Magnets can be used to enhance models in areas That I think people have only begun to envision and this is one of those awesome ways of handling things. The Jet Pack is awesome with the shields and shoulder pads. Love the linkability of the pad fin and pad itself. The JP shields are awesome as well and make for a very mecha style control surface. I like it alot. The legs and added knee pad enhancements are very cool. What I think would push it over the top is to actually see control thrusters attached to the shoulder and arm sheathed by the fin/shield. Sort of like how Mike Fichtenmayer did with his Gelgoog http://fichtenfoo.com/gallery/FF-GelgoogNT...oo_GelgoogNT_16 What also might be cool is to figure out how to maybe add a magnetized thruster module at the rear of the greave as well. That would be pretty incredible, even though this model is insanely cool already. And then what ties this into a gothic feel is the style of the sword, the medieval armor cues and rivets. All really well balanced and sci-fi. Well done sir, you've turned a corner for me now when I think about how to model for multi-purpose setups, and a different way to view SM armor altogether. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 That is one sweet mini, Brother; however, I can't shake the resemblance of him to an armored core or gundam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Gothard Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Nice window guard. I've wnated to do something like this since I started with AEMMA last year (but had to stop because of money issues). But I think SM plastics just aren't fluid enough to do the proper stances/poses.

Tyrannicide Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 A very nice and gothic feeling you got going there Madscuzzy. Great overall conversion, and I especially like the details like the knee pads, and arm guard. BTW, what sword is that from, I think it is the Ravenwing sergeant one, but not sure?

madscuzzy Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 The shoulder guard design came from the one I did on my Landtrain Chappie, which was inspired from a gundam conversion I saw at a local store. Only he, thus far has any control mechanics on the pad, every one else has theirs bolted down for now. I followed the design through with the JP, only for aesthetic reasons. I did think of control vanes, but somehow it doesn't feel marines have that kind of tech just yet. I admit that I've always had a thing for the oversized backpack designs of gundam.. so yeah. The legs are stock legs with the trims sculpted over the knees, and putty layered over the shins. The rivets were then glued on after. It is based of the Master of the Arsenal model... The arms were taken from a variety of sources. His left arm is taken from the vehicle gunner with hand from the RW sword arms. His right arm is a bolter arm, with the hand taken from the Devastator box. It is the one that is holding the ammo. Both arms have had their upper arms repositioned and sculpted. The sword is taken from the RW box too... His head is a custom head, shaved down and resculpted off a beakie helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olii Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 how did you do that lovely tabard. 10/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Excellent work MS. Like others, I do love the pose and the way that the sword is held. So at some point, don't be surprised if you see something similar to this (though most likely not as well done) in my army. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miniman Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Nice work man, looks good! But you have to tell how did you do the legs? they're superb! Congrats again man Miniman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Nice work Scuzzy, you could be writing tutorials for the next month with all the really great stuff you've done on this piece, the legs and robe are of particular excellence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corax_rg Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Wow, thats awesome :P May i ask where you got the greaves from ? They would come in handy for some truescale stuff im gonna start soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 he made the greaves out of stock legs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 This has serious potential IMHO. The pose is truly ace... don't mess it up! (No pressure though ;) ) Beyond the pose, I would say this is truly an inspiring character for your chapter and being such, I'd really like to see you attempt some iconography. He's deserving of some special iconography... For example, I'm thinking of some of the stuff you'd see on Marnius or his special guard. This is looking really amazing. The sword pose is really what makes it so far. Very powerful. He's ready to duel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaper Tain Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 It seems that all the different ways of saying "good job" and "amazing" are used up so i will have to settle for Amazing good job :) and just like everyone else... how did you do the tabbard? I demand a tutorial (pretty please) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
