2 step
what do u think?

 

[petey]

I think the shoulders are too big

Yeah, without wanting to sound harsh, it looks as though he\'s carting a Turkish carpet stall round on his shoulders!

The style gives the impression of arcane, but they\'re too big.

His shoulder pads look a bit big to me, this is what I did:

hope it helps.

You only posted that to make me feel guilty.....

 

[RussianDragon]

i like your TDA but these things between his legs- they are too thin- i think so- and one more question- how can i name them? i do not know what are they=)

thanks for advice

 

[RussianDragon]

death guard
why necron skulls? simply because i have no human skulls

I was thinking of doing some pre-heresy Thousand son termies for my army, I think you guys have inspired me to go ahead and do it

@RussianDragon, while I agree with the other comments that the shoulders are too big, those plasticard leather dangly strappy things look fantastic, how difficult were they to do?

Cheers

i made them in 30 minutes- it is simple.
and they look great! from plastic card.

on shoulders and between legs these things are made of leather and will be painted green- and on the back- they will be painted NMM

well, he looks like he\'s selling neckties.

 

[RussianDragon]

let\'s start painting!
first steps. please give me some advice if u think that smth is not good=)

I think your ideas are absolutely great, but you\'ve got WAY too much going on on those termies. The painted version without the arms looks good, but the huge shoulders and extra danglies really confuses me when I look at it.

I think you need to either convert these guys a lot more, or a lot less. As is, it\'s tough to tell what you\'re going for. They\'re clearly too different to be standard Termies, but they use the same kit, so they look like standard Termies anyway. I think you\'re best bet is to either stick with the usual termie moels and just add PH embellishments while keeping the model the same fundamentally, or sculpt parts from scratch. If you sculpted the torso and pads from scratch there would be no question what it was supposed to be, because it wouldn\'t look like the kit terminators enough to confuse anyone.

Just my thoughts though.

 

[RussianDragon]

hmmm... interesting!
now i am starting a new project- pre-heresy assault terminator- so i will try.

 

[RussianDragon]

that is my second termi- WIP

Good hammer and shield! They look proper hefty - just what a terminator should be using!

 

[Ogrebane]

Well you sure know how to paint gems. I think you went a little over the top with the dangly things. The ones inbetween the legs are good but too many hanging of the shoulder pads. The paint job looks good so far.

 

[jean_genie]

In this thread, Ogrebane sez that he likes the the dangly things between the legs.

 

[marineboy]

The face shield on the assault terminiator is post heresy, if I\'m not mistaken... that type of armor was first designed for the Mark 4 Heresy armmor type and first used later on tactical dreadnought armor. IMHO, stay away from that for a pre-heresy look.

Or just do what turns you on.

 

[RussianDragon]

i think that is all- here you can vote for my termi
