trystans old style made new ! marine

[cassar]

another one turned to the dark side lol. doing this olde style marine for trystan he can explain the background if he wishes, heres what he wants.

 

[TrystanGST]

Haha woohoo!

O.K. - Here's the backstory:

My father was responsible for getting me into Warhammer, and 40k, back in the day. And by in the day, I mean I still have the Rogue Trader.
This was one of four marines he got and painted for me, all in the Ultramarine paint like you see here. So while the game, and modelling/painting have come a LONG way, it's cool to look back and see where it all started.

Thanks cass for taking this on.

Here's a group shot:

And the original 40k bible:

Wait is cassar using his jumbotron on this mini. Please! I will make virgins cry tears of diamonds if he is!

 

[Meph]

'Ello 'ello 'ello, what's all this then? Is he firing up the bigulator on this thing? Would be a fitting tribute!

 

[TrystanGST]

I told him I wanted it in the same approximate scale as the termies hes done. So it should be nice an big.

 

[armornv]

Ok, even though I prefer fantasy over 40k..... I think I'm hooked on these Cassar big'uns after seeing the termie, the biker guy, the death jester and now this...... Maybe a new sig is in order for you Cassar.......
Cassar -- -- -- I make small things bigger when I touch them.......

I love these threads, and can't wait to see this one come to life. Cass, you HAVE to do up some Fantasy eventually.

 

[armornv]

Cass, you HAVE to do up some Fantasy eventually.

I agree. If you ever break into straight fantasy I would almost certainly hook you up with some commission work.

 

[cassar]

my new favorite word jumbolatatronicbigulator :console: must get some fresh batteries lol.

what type of fantasy stuff are we talking about? naked ladies? barbarians wiv big weapons?:tremble!:

 

[armornv]

Was thinkin something more along the lines of armor and lots of big swingy stabby cutty bashy stuff. No idea really though. Not so much into painting mini versions of nekkid chicks, rather see the real thing.

 

[Barnaby]

Stubby shoulder pads!

 

[MightyChad]

Chaos Warriors, Black Orcs, Dwarven Iron Breakers, TBS, Great Swords, Dark Elf Executioners, or even Pansy Sword Masters. Anything with heavy armor. You could do it. Then auction it off, take the proceeds and bribe me to send you more in depth pics of my project... Or just a huge Chaos Warrior, as the bribe itself. But it is up to you.

 

[cassar]

interesting concept one to think about.

 

[Torn blue sky]

Especially the TBS bit. Instant hit with the ladies, that one.

 

[TrystanGST]

Especially the TBS bit. Instant hit with the ladies, that one.

And X rated too, I'm sure. Which means it's banned in Aussie-land probably.

 

[Meph]

W000! Naked barbarian ladies with big swords! But no TBS bits, that would just be weird-looking....

 

[Torn blue sky]

Ah what can I say, i'm a rock star.
