tiny sam Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I get my brother for the christmas gift exchange. hopefully for me, he's a 40k player so I'm going to build him a 5 man sternguard veterans squad. i'm still in the gathering idea process so I'll need your help to figure out if some ideas are good or clearly not that good :devil: i'm starting with the easy ones the crested sergeant and the shoulder plate decoration, I made a mold for the little U with a wing so every member of the squad could get one. and a last modification, I'm not realy sure about that one and I really need you opinion. (It's a proof of concept, it need refinement) lorica shoulder plate. I can make the lorica plate a little longer to mask the shoulder plate and/or add another imbriqued plate to smooth the plating it can even replace the shoulder plate Critics, comments or help is welcomed!

Lachdannan Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The crested Sergeant looks great, i'd keep that. The second marine has such a nice pose, and great job with the green stuff, the 'U' looks good. For the shoulder pad, its just too high for me. I like the idea though. Maybe you can cut into the solder pad, so then it lines up better? Making the top of your pad, equal with the plastic shoulder pad. Looking good though.

kapturowski Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 The plasticard work for the lorica looks really good. Why not omit the shoulderpad entirely and just use the lorica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Gonna agree with kapturowski here, this guy would look even better with just the lorica. No matter what, great job, man! looking great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks for feed back! I gived a try to the lorica only like kapturowski and 1000heathens suggest and I think it look good should I do both Shoulder plate that way? or keep one as a "special honour plate" (the rest of his squad will look pale in comparison...) I also managed to get my first cast for the winged U just need a little cleaning and it will look good! I was thinking to a another one in MkVI as it is his favorite armor, probably the guy with the heavy flamer. and an old wary vet with a stalker/scope if some one has an idea for the last one?

kapturowski Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Wow. that turned out great. I'd say do just one and give him a regular shoulderpad on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 That turned out really well. Can't wait to see more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew J Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I really like it. Love the roman feel and the shoulder pad especially. Good job on the crest btw. Keep it up and I cant wait to see the finished product as well as the rest of the squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 thanks again! here is a quick update! after a subtle discution with my brother I learn that he never paid powerfist to his proxied sternguards ;) so I made an ultramarines gladius for the sergeant out of a space wolf sword after all I think he look more balanced with it. what do you think?

greatcrusade08 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 thats really cool, your brother is obviously a man of great taste being a ultras player. im sure he will love this mini, you did a great job i really want to see him painted up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majorpayne327 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 At first glance for tht final picture, I said it be really cool if he had the assualt marine powerfist that looks lik hes pointing at the enemy... but after reading the caption my image was torn... but then I thought if you could find a hand like Sergant Chronus pointing that would be twice as coool.... Other than that this model looks amazing... I wish i had one xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiny sam Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 yeah unhopefully their is no right pointy arm, except the power fist. he will either be lifting his bolter to shoot or resting his arm at his side while he look over the battle field, not quite sur at that moment. one sure thing it's that the Pteryges is almost finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derLumpi Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Wow, really cool veteran! I wish my brother would take such an interest in my hobby! :-) Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny sam Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thanks everybody for the kind words, I was very surprise to see that thread resurecting from page 2 :devil: I've finaly managed to find an arm that fit the sergeant the Pteryges is the next thing I'll do on this one, and the joint on his legs and I began an heavy flamer wield by a veteran with MkVI greaves, helmet and shoulder plate Comments? critics?

MeatGrinder Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Looking good, minor concer though, I think the lorica is a bit to low on the shoulder. adding a bit of greenstuff underneath to raise it up would add a little bulk and make the model look a bit more impressive.

tiny sam Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 some progress! I began a Mk IV armor for one of the vet. the Torso is in good way and I'm waiting for the leg to cure before filed them down a bit. and I continue progress on the sergent, I think I can call it done (just missing the paint of course :P) Edit : forget the pictures...

tiny sam Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 Inspired by Alejandrinus work I finished my mk IV veteran with his arms his head is still curing so you'll understand I won't put it on the model for now ;) I'm planning a heavy bionicly modified vet for the last one (probably the damage face with a custom arms and an custom leg) Comments are welcomed!
