poLL for the D_C TRUESCALE FIRST FOUNDING CHALLENGE: - Page 6 - 40K Terra

Baron Spikey · 03-19-2008

hmm well the differences between the Raven Guard and the other 2 infiltrating legions (Night Lords and Alpha Legion) is that whilst the Night Lords are terror troops and the Alpha Legion use infiltration for their convoluted plans, the Raven Guard are stealth/guerilla fighters pure and simple.

So maybe have all his weapons look like they've been soot blackened so as not to gleam and give away friendly positions etc things that make you think of 'Assassin' when it comes to Marines (as that's what they are- the closest Astartes can get to being Assassins)

Lord Commander Erus · 03-20-2008

Silencers and bigger/more fancy looking flash supressors, etc...?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 03-20-2008

if he had any shooty weapons, id make sure to give him some

hairyyahoo · 03-20-2008

silencers on the lightning claws maybe?

Dragoon King · 03-20-2008

So do you have the pose for the Night Lord DC? I think he should be crouching real low, sneaking-like. Maybe have one wounded in the leg, bleeding yet still dragging his leg and laying down fire? Hmmm. With the other hand applying pressure to the wound? Maybe a guille type suit on the Alpha Legionnaire?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 03-21-2008

hes gonna be crouching, yes, though i dont thin he should be injured. thats almost ajn insult to NL fans

Lord Commander Erus · 03-21-2008

There are Night Lord fans? *crooked smirk* Where?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 03-21-2008

ooh... thats bound to warrant a few posts of retribution

which is more than i can say for the raven guard...

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 03-29-2008

heres the WIP on the blood angel

so id better wxplain the pose. he's walking forward. his left arm will be holding a scabbard. his right will be pulling a power sword out of it.

C&C please

hairyyahoo · 03-29-2008

the pose looks good, even half finished. very menacing. i'm sure the mould lines and dark angel insignia will disappear in due course so i won't mention them at all

what are the plans for the chest plate?

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 03-29-2008

what mould lines?

no idea about the chest (of course the arms are just one temporarily so ican gauge the general shape of the model and how much more i can bulk out the chest before it gets in the way of the arm (0, nada, niente, xejn, nothing - theyre already touching so i have to be careful there)

anywho, the idea was originally for corvus, though with that head i dunno. maybe an aquila... so i can test my GS skills to the max?
ill probably stick with ornate corvus tbh, and add leader paraphernelia to it.

the legs will get bass relif stuff that ill be doping tomorrow from some GS moulds i made today

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 03-30-2008

small update:

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 04-01-2008

more!

Rellik · 04-01-2008

very cool stuff man!

Captain Slow · 04-01-2008

oooooohhhhhhhhhhh.........................very nice D_C cant wait to see this guy all finsihed, he should be nice.

however one critique, perhaps a bare head would look better on this guy.
maybe the sgt with half a bionic face?
or maybe the head from the DA upgrade sprue, the one with the square~ish haircut, ill find a pic when i have 2 secs.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 04-01-2008

i was thinking of both those heads, amongst about three others. and i cant decide. i might sell the model to insomniac's dream so i might go with what he likes (a knight helm).

Captain Slow · 04-01-2008

oh? your selling the models are you hmm..... are you selling all of them after they've bene produced? or just certain models for the extra cash?
but if thats what the guy wants. but still, imho, it would just general look cooler with a bare head with some long wavy~ish hair. but, thats me.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 04-01-2008

not all of them. i do afew comissions too.

so if anyones' interested in single models... pm me.

Captain Slow · 04-01-2008

hmmm....
well you've certainyl piqued my interested with some comissioned models.
however, this is not the thread to be talking about this, so, back on topic!
i dont want to get beaten by Erus' stick, im allready SERIOUSLY behind on my fists...

Ides · 04-01-2008

Well if you gave the DA corvus helm the wings from the high elf noble that might be an idea.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 04-01-2008

for a blood angel? im got that idea planned for the dark angel when i eventually get to it

Lord Commander Erus · 04-01-2008

*beats all people who are behind on IF logs viciously*

Nicely done, what bits went into that sword, if I may ask?
