DaBoiKyknos Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Your icons look really cool. However, I wonder now and when, if Scythes even make sense as combat weapons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Your icons look really cool. However, I wonder now and when, if Scythes even make sense as combat weapons... Hmm I'm not sure you're quite getting the whole 40k thing... More seriously, are you serious? A big blade on the edge of a piece of wood was been a mainstay warfare for millenia before we decided standing further away form each other while fighting was a better idea. Spears, Halberds, bilhooks, pikes and all variants thereof are all perfectly lethal; you just might need a bit of room to swing or stab them most effectively. That Scythe in particular has a grip very near the weapon head, so you can effectively use it like an extra big dagger for stabbing if there isn't room for a swing.

That, plus remember the scene from Interview with the Vampire when Louis cuts right through Santiago in the Parisian catacombs below the theater? Brutal.

Grizzly_bear Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Evening everyone hope you're all well and have had a great Christmas and I wish you all a very happy new year. Well nothing too much to show except for a heavy Bolter dev I'm slowly working on http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/80685E6E-C69E-4427-9383-0225E17A5907_zpsrzg1kuxf.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/E090894E-1EE8-45EC-8A4A-98A0A0C3635E_zpsjx0kxap9.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/6E48B246-8CFB-4FBD-A1C6-F6ACE703779A_zpsc5c45ema.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/85FE0CEB-A512-42DF-A477-23DEC3D5F103_zpsvqymt1ve.jpg Aaaaaaand something to have a giggle wiggle at.... a comparison to my very 'standard' model vs a big marine with a bolt gun http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/FEE2DF49-E000-48A0-B2C6-D9276A74AB3B_zpsjy5zde0b.jpg Hope you like the update and thank you for the comments and follow.

VanguardVeteran Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Does the red stripe represent him as a Sgt. ??? From what I can remember it marks him out as a member of a tactical squad, with white for veterans and green for assault etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thank you very much guys. And @recon the red denotes him as a member of the dev department as vanguardvet kindly remembered my method of madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Great update. I also like the pile of spent casings - but I think it would benefit from some sand around its base, as it now looks like a plastic spent bolter casing bit stuck onto the surface the marine is stadning on, which kind of removes the suspension of disbelieve of the Space Marine in his natural environment. :tu: That left dude. Holy crap. How long ago was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thank you gents, and to answer your question I painted that model when I was 14 I'm now 26 lol I'm paying homage to him by making a revamped version of him. Here is Sgt Maximum back from the jaws of the kraken, filled with new purpose, new heart of fire and better armour against the tyranid menace. "For the ghosts of sotha" http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/C050D340-783A-45E6-8875-493843E8D9C7_zpsve9tiref.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/48AE3358-1B5E-4890-B0B6-54288D9E2BE5_zpsajppqqpo.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/C2B67C4A-121D-4F84-9321-F25457FD6E7A_zpskiamn6jx.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halandaar Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 That's a really well composed miniature, the hip armour is a particularly good touch. Where is the head from? Pretty sure it's from the Imperial Fists Phalanx Warders kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Looking good mate. Are you going to blend in the edges of the heavy bolter shells into the base with sand? Also note through time to 14 year old rob "THIN YOUR PAINTS!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly_bear Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Good morning everyone (UK time) hope you are all well? Just to answer the question about the head on this mini, it's from the phalanx wardens set from Forgeworld as halandaar pointed out. (Thank you fella) So here is Sgt Maximum practically finished, just a few things to do then onto the base http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/68DEE138-4820-48DC-A076-ABCFB4F4A95C_zps0ksaovhq.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/5D65E9B0-5F18-47B6-9E3F-06FD4A396378_zpspyjf5y3a.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/545FD337-13DF-42BB-95BB-7387F6AB9696_zpsprtwdexy.jpg http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b604/grizzlywipez/scythes%20of%20the%20Emperor/5497E5D2-267E-4AA5-BDB5-473C30579D18_zpss8kr7ohm.jpg Hope you like him as I've loved painting him and watching him Come together As always drop your comments and any criticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marqol Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 As usual your battered and weathered armour looks awesome. But oh emperor that face, everything about it is just amazing, like all the details; the inujury, the eyes, the teeth and tongue, the stubble, it's just wonderfully done.
