LutherMax Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hi guys, what do you think of this for a Lias Issodon conversion? It's just dry fit at the the moment with Blu Tack. I may use the helmet with the lens and aerial from the Repulsor kit and different shoulder pads but general principle? I will definitely extend the bolt rifle barrel... Feedback appreciated!

Race Bannon Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Awwww yaaas that's beefy! You know you could vow him in the ETL too! There's still plenty of time ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 It looks great! I would definitely extend the barrel - maybe with a hotshot lasgun barrel, or one of the aerials on a Grey Knight teleport backpack? I believe Lias also has a power sword of some kind?

Cordova Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Nice. There's a scabbarded sword on the Scout sprue (I think) that looks suitably understated for the King of Sneaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I’m thinking the 30th anniversary sergeant sheathed sword for Raptorclaw. Kromlech suppressor on the gun barrel. Probably more ornate shoulder pads and some purity seals. Possibly green stuff camo cloak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Checkout Anvil Industries cloaks. They have a camo and a wasteland set that might be up your alley. Looks like a great start of an ETL project ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thanks Dracos I’ll check em out! I’ve been away for a little while - where’s the info on this year’s ETL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corax calls for your Vow http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346712-space-marines-outpost/ Link to the Space Marine Outpost Thanks for the info – seems as though I may be just in time! Lias probably wouldn't be a good first pledge as he may be getting sent away to have a nice new cloak fitted and I don't know when he'll be back... I do have some other things I need to get finished in the mean time but they are already started. I've PM'd Captain Semper to see if they're still okay to pledge and if so I'm in!

LutherMax Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 So I made some changes: - Ditched the Primaris arms and rifle in favour of MKIV arms and recon bolter - MKIV helm instead of Primaris (so no Primaris bits on him now) - More ornate shoulder pads to mark him as the master of the chapter Still to do: - Attach Raptorclaw (sheathed on his back somewhere) - Green stuff cloak I'm not sure about the shoulder pads. I think they should be simpler... thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm thinking something like this for the cloak, but I guess it will have to attach near the top of the pouches on the chest and perhaps go over both shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Lias strikes me as not needing showy wargear. I'd keep the pads simple. I think both versions of the rifle like they worked for this project. That Primaris Bolter is a beast. I've always had issues with capes and power armor, even with scouts. That said you might look at just draping it over the right arm and shoulder in the front using as little s possible attached to the left with a wind blow look billowing behind him. It would bunch and fold up in those conditions and look more workman like than regal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I dunno, that mock up is full of character and "oooo" factor to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordova Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I like the showy pads, but I'd paint them armour coloured. As if Lias has said, 'Sure, I'm Chapter Master. Sure, I have fancy armour. But, no, no it isn't shiny. Why would it be shiny?' That would play into the understated Chapter Master vibe I think he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahistorian Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Less showy shoulderpads would be best, I think. This tutorial may help, cloak-wise http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286080-tutorial-capes-made-from-tissue/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Vyper Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 I like the showy pads, but I'd paint them armour coloured. As if Lias has said, 'Sure, I'm Chapter Master. Sure, I have fancy armour. But, no, no it isn't shiny. Why would it be shiny?' That would play into the understated Chapter Master vibe I think he needs. I agree with Cordova. That spread Aquila on the right pad fits well, but I would paint it a black gradient against the green armor, so everyone knows its present but very understated.

WAR Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Like it so far. And agree with everyone else so far about the paint idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
