I may need to fix the pose on this one. You can see wych arm, kroot upper head, sawed-off splinter rifle=shard carbine with kroot shoulder sling.
I like this one with the kroot legs as well. He is holding a heat lance which you can tell is a sawed-off splinter cannon with a dental mixing tip on the end. Needs magnets.
Here are some head variations I went through before deciding on the final one. You can see the dark eldar with the spines-looks too indian. The greenstuffed beak would be great if I was looking to make Donald Duck. You can also see a good top view of my son's angels sanguine marine.I wanted to have bird men with faces like that in the codex. By removing the lower half of the head of the kroot, it made for a lot smaller head that fit with the size of the dark eldar. I also wanted to make the squad in various stages of augmentation. I thought I would have a few with kroot/birdman legs, a lot with bird heads, maybe some dark eldar heads with kroot spines coming out the back, or a helmet with spines breaking through the back. I also want to add some adrenaline injectors in the shoulders like in the fluff and drawings in the codex. I am also going to magnetize the gun variants to be able to swap them out as I see fit, or as they change the rules and make certain guns less effective.
And here are a couple of my 11 year-old son's paint jobs on his angels sanguine army. I think he did great. He painted, assembled, and based them all by himself.
Hey, those look great! I wouldnt have known those were kroot heads if you hadnt told me. And I bet once they're painted they wont look anything like kroot heads. I love the way you posed them. Very dynamic! Wouldnt want those swooping in on me on the battlefield!
ReplyDeleteThanks Adrzej. I am excited to try them on the battlefield. They are definitely a work of love as each takes about an hour or so to cobble together.
ReplyDeleteI really like those scourges. In fact I will probably like these more than I will any feathered wings as shown in the codex
ReplyDeleteThanks Natfka. I was starting to wonder if people liked them or not. I have 8 done, and have added some other bits to them. Should be posting soon.
