I'm posting these pictures for my roommate, who has been working on a new space marine chapter for quite some time. These are his work-in-progress pics of his commander.

Comments are appreciated as the work continues.

**Zaku I**

I am loving this so far

**Kingsley**

Looks damn good so far, though I'm curious to see what you're planning with the head.

**lolzman**

awsome!!!! thoug hya whats with the head

**tallmantim**

I think it looks great.

Only concerns:

1. What are the pipes on the back of the lion? Control sticks? Would have to see the final mock up but worried they may not work out.

2. Same with the storm bolter - the head looks too large on it, although that may all be different when it is all together...

Cool work!

**krusty**

wow...awesome
storm bolter especially
your friend def has some good conversion and modeling skills

**parn83**

Hey just wanted to thank everyone who has commented so far, and address a few of the questions.

The pipes on the lion are going to be painted up as stim injectors.

The lions head sitting all by its self is actually one of the shoulder pads.

And finally on tallmantim's comment, I am a little concerned about the storm bolter also, I guess that ill just have to finish it and see.

Also if there is anything anyone thinks would be cool to incorporate into this model feel free to post it, and ill see what I can do.

Thanks again for all the comments

I'd say that a Lion's pelt hanging on his back would be awesome. It would give it a feel of respect, similiar to how Space Wolves kill wolves.

**greenskin lynn**

i like the way this is shaping up, and look forward to seeing how it all comes together

**Reecius**

Wowzers, that is off the hook. Keep it up!

Ah, my bad. Should have been more clear-- I was referring to the bare head with the GS hair.

**Sgt.Roadkill**

celestial lions?

**Hordicant**

Nice so far.

**Shellfishguy**

Love how its looking so far!

**skotter**

i love it !

**Listrel**

Looks great so far is he going for a true scale with this one or is it terminator armoured, or maybe just used parts that look good ?

**CT GAMER**

Thundercats Hooooooooooooooooooo!!!

**wonkobaggins**

I sure like that lion - the piston legs look great.

**model collector**

Love the techno steam punk arms and legs, however I think I've picked up on something everyone else has missed, I'm picking up a Lion-like vibe to your models!
Just slightly worried you've overdone it, which is cool if your going for that look, but would be nice to see a more subtle approach as well, like including more of the styling on the breastplate cause thats WIN!

**whalemusic360**

Look very good, keep it up.
