Blood Angels Captain Tycho UK GD finalist

These are views of the Tycho figure that I entered at the 2008 UK GD. More pics have been posted that show the figure as it was displayed.See :- 200948 I had the idea for the figure last year, and whilst the rule book doesn't give him the option of Terminator armour the fluff would meant that as a marine captain he would be elligable to have a suit. So I reposed him to be standing on the head of an Ork; looking down on it with the vengeful hatred that he carries around for all of Ork kind. The gold terminator that I posted earlier this year was a test run to proof the idea and get a bit of sculpting practice. The figure is based on the standard plastic terminator with the addition of a metal Tycho head, forgeworld shoulder pad and some other bits in green including the cloak; which I am a lot happier about than the previous attempt. The figure made the first cut at the UK GD but did not place. A shame but then getting to be a finalist is no mean feat by itself. Boy it's going to be a lot of work to go one step further and actually pick up a demon. Fingers crossed for next year. Any comments welcome.

The figure is very nice, but lacking in some respects. The golden armor and also the bolter lack some sharpness and depth, on occassion the borders between the layers are visible. While it makes an interesting effect, it also feels a bit unfinished. But the main problem of the mini is that you entered a mini painted with NMM into a competition that really seems to favour UK-style GW imagery, which really focuses on RMM.
