Using bits from all of these different kits sure is a neat way of getting out of having to take those pesky scale photos.

It is still looking amazing. Can't wait to see it finished with some paint.

love the arm

The way you use the bits from all of those old models just shocks me how...right it just looks, it all looks like it was meant to go where it is, i can't wait to see it finished.

BTW, the cannon arm is definately my favorite, keep up the good work!

Thanks again for all the comments, I really do appreciate the encouragement. I do think the Doomfist arm is a bit too busy, but I'm hoping it looks more reasonable once it's attached to the rest of the model. I'm almost tempted to buy the new ForgeWorld Reaver Titan arm, but can't be sure if it's a match size-wise, and it would be against the whole "using all my bitz" goal.

Anyways, just a small update today. Did a little work on the banner and test fitted the disemboweled loyalist marine. I'm not sure if I'll be keeping the small WHFB Skeleton Banner under him, but I'm planning on having long skinny banners hanging from each end of the framework (just below the skull piles on the left and right). During the painting stage, I'm hoping to get a nice spilled blood effect directly underneath the marine.

I like it a lot. But do you have a different head you can use for the marine? I would figure any face things would have been ripped off. A bald yelling Sergent head would be good.

Your work encourages us all. Keep up the amazing!
I would go for with either a sergeant head that is yelling or a skull, to show that the marine has been up there a while and long since died.

It The Jesus of marines!

So much awesome in this model.
Keep up the good work. Paint it then stick it in the gallery

Best bit - the legs
Lest awesome bit - the head

Cool!
You allways seem to be able to stun the rest of us...

Looking forward to seeing this assembled.

wear did you get the disemboweled stuff I have to use green stuff all the time like this
[img]

Unfortunately, it was the only exposed SM head I had without buying any new figures. I'm hoping to paint him as barely alive but with very palid skin and the eyes rolling back, if I can pull it off.

The Jesus similarities while unintentional is a bit amusing. I'm tempted to add a sign in latin above him to make it official.

The disemboweled stuff is actually a bit from the WHFB Zombie kit, I think there's at least four of those bitz per box.

Thats pretty sweet. And you know youd see that stuff in a chaos army for sure.

Looks good as always.

EDIT: OMFG jesus is a space marine.

Reminds me of that poster of the Emporer which says something to the effect of; don't you wish your god was this bad ass?

looking really good. i'm already looking forward to the imgaes with the head mounted on the torso .....

thumbs up !

And now for the return of Space Marine Jesus!

I was originally hoping to do one large banner beneath the marine, but it just didn't look right. So ended up doing two thin banners hanging from either side. I also added ropes around the marines wrist since the pinning didn't really work.



Per your request, a quick photo with the head attached.



Still alot of small details to finish, but it's definitely coming along...

That looks really cool, I'm wondering if it won't be too high when finished? How do you do your banners?

Awesome stuff.
Will it have sufficient and big enough guns when done?

Spot on! So many times better then I could imagine it to become.

Keep it up!

Man, I can't wait to see this thing completed. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Legs and arms on, and you're rockin!

Awesome build!

I thought that the emperor was the 40K equivalent of Jesus...
Died to save mankind and became a god, has his own inquisition

Nice, but it really reminds me of Jesus.(not in bad way) keep up the good work and don't buy from forge world.

If there ever was a jesus in 40K, it would be Sanguinius, he willingly sacrificed himself to save humanity.

I like how the missile launchers look like they're on their last leg.

Thanks again for the encouragement folks. At this point, I'm trying to figure out where to put all the skulls, as well as the rest of the brass etchings.

@Jabbakahut - The banners are just green stuff. I just roll it out as flat as I can and cut to size. I'll let it cure about half way, add the tears and holes, and then let it dry completely.

you better paint that spaz marine blue

Well technically it ought to be a Blood Angel as they are rivals of the World Eaters

But yea Blues fine with me.

Now that is one fine looking Banelord.

I'd have to say go with the blue marine though.
