Idestastic Conversion Contest Entry - Page 3 - 40K Terra

Nice dude

Ides · 01-30-2008

Small update on this, I have the helm more or less done, just need to add a few studs to it here and there to finish the look. That and figure out where on the belt I plan to stick it... As for the man himself, he's been tidied up as much as I'll probably be able to get away with, though due to the postioning of his arms I'm finding it a bit problematic to add pouches and things...

Well dude, its certainly taking flight. Ive been following this thread with great interest, and I cant wait to see it finished

Ides · 01-30-2008

Haven't altered the helm too much, just continued the ridge along the back of the mask. There's still a small bit of gap-filling as needs doing here and there ( and a few mold lines to file off) but this is more or less him.

Nanolathe · 01-30-2008

Fine Green-Stuff work, if a little rough around the edges. (+rep) My only major criticism is still with the pose, and the gun. Just too big.

But it's only my opinion

Ides · 01-30-2008

Aye. I'll be trying some more creative posing with my next few attempts. Termie legs are rather unco-operative though, so I'll see how it goes.

EDIT: My next conversions will probably use the SM heavy bolter as a base...

Templar Mikeel · 01-31-2008

That guy is a freakin' monster!(haven't I already said that?) Good work on all the GS.

DeAd_cOmMaNdO · 01-31-2008

i think you win the 'conversion with most GS use award'

good stuff

Rellik · 01-31-2008

awesome job dude. i love the bolter

Ides · 01-31-2008

Blech. Final pics. next time I may try building the legs up from scratch for posing.

Bring on the paints says I!

Brother Warchild · 01-31-2008

I think you did a awesome job,What chapter are you gonna paint him?

r4wr89 · 01-31-2008

yea ides you do some incredible GS work ! :] great job man. :]
and i see you got the 40k basing kit ? how is it ?

Ides · 01-31-2008

@r4 - Nice bits of slate and rocks, lots of basing pieces (some of which are small enough that I wonder where I'll use them) but most are large enough to fill a standard sized base., that and the brass symbols are nice to work with.

@rellik - custom chapter, the Death dealers. I'll post a general outline for the painting contest...

hairyyahoo · 01-31-2008
