Rorschach Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 In between painting my Chaplain, I've found I love working with these colours. So after having found traits and an army theme I like, I've begun converting some Headhunters - a Tactical Squad with True Grit and Furious Charge. Here's the Veteran Sergeant and the first Tactical Marine. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0364.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0361.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0362.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h282/contqual/IMG_0360.jpg C&C appreciated.

Starks333 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 firstly i find the use of furious charge and true grit silly, as both hinder each other true grit is used to benefit from bolters, while furious charge benefits from more attacks anyways, why the wolf pelt? it looks a bit out of place, and the shield look enormous, a bit too big in my opinion the rest looks pretty good however Starks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exquisite Evil Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Have to agree on the furious/truegrit = terrible combo... Also the shield(whilst novel) does look a little big Apart from that I LIKE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyson_Vore Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I am becoming a very big fan of your work here, Rorschach... I loved the Chaplain, and these two guys look positively amazing. The shield looks a bit large, my suggestion either cut it down to a smaller size or lose it comletely, as it does add character, but I don't think regular tactacal marines can hace combat shields ((Though a possibility for a nice combo for assault squads...))

Rorschach Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 The pictures doesn't quite show it, but the shields are in fact coffin casket lids. The reason for the large size is beacuse I measured them up to fit a Cadian :P I'll only use them for this one squad, as they'll sort of function as a retinue for my Chaplain, and thus I want them to stand out a bit. As for the True Grit + Furious Charge, I see where you're coming from with it, but I chose traits with though for what I could use for the rest of my army as well (such as Furious on Assaulters and True Grit on Devis). But I believe that is a discussion for another forum? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Knight Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I hate the shield, too big, other than that they look really good, let's see some paint Off topic: you know, i don't think you have to buy BOTH the traits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaoswolf Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I agree with everyone else; The sheild's either got to go, or get smaller. Otherwise, I like'em. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Dreadnought Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 They're pretty good, better than what I could do. The one thing that irked me was the head mounted on the first mini - it's actually larger than the head of the marine carrying it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 About that coffin lid as a shield: -_- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroneko Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Look very promising. And i like the shields too. Making them smaller would only look dumb. If it's a coffin lid, it's a coffin lid, if it's smaller it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
