Ahh yes I remember reading about him and his down fall and the golden throne... he looks great!!

The Best Way to describe the God Emperor is "Chuck Norris' Idol", he is literally that badass.



Courtesy of 1d4 Chan....

The God-Emperor of Mankind, also known as Tha Emprah, Emps, The Big E and Space Hitler and also sometimes called The great and glorious Mac daddy king of all things awesome is the figurehead ruler of the Imperium of Man in the Warhammer 40k universe and possesses unimaginable levels of manliness. The administration he established continues to govern the Imperium in his name, but it is generally accepted that the absence of the Emperor's proper guidance is what has turned the Imperium into the hellish mess that it is.

The being who would be known as the Emperor was apparently born 8000 B.C in Anatolia, making him a Proto-Hittite(Hatti?) probably. He was the result of ancient human psykers (known as Shamans) entering a suicide pact to be reborn into a single individual who would be able to protect humanity from the Chaos Gods. A lot of the Emperor's personal history is unknown, but it known that around the 11th or 12th century, he battled a shard of the Void Dragon in Libya, eventually defeating it and locking it up on Mars, allowing for the eventual rise of the Adeptus Mechanicus. He also masqueraded as many prophets, leaders and wise men throughout history to nudge humanity towards a more ordered society, including Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, Gaius Julius Caesar, Winston Churchill and so on. If this is true, it took their collective minds that long to see that Peace and Love wasn't working and that the only way for anything to go their way was at gunpoint/swordpoint.

It is established that the Emperor is pretty much the most powerful psyker alive, humbling even the Eldar, and whilst upon the Golden Throne he guides the light of the Astronomican, basically a lighthouse in the warp, which is run by the power of thousands of agonized psykers. He is tens of thousands of years old and has been secretly guiding humanity from behind the scenes for much of his lifetime. Theories variously suggest that he is also Sigmar of Warhammer Fantasy Battle fame, mighty Thor, Chuck Norris, and Jesus. It is uncertain as to whether or not his internment on the Golden Throne is a good thing; some believe that if he were to die, the Imperium would be truly plunged into darkness, whereas others believe that if allowed to finally die he would reincarnate and return to unify the galaxy once more. Whatever the truth of the matter, Games Workshop are never going to advance the story, so it is mostly irrelevant.

I'd never seen that pic of the Emperor before - very nice!

No matter the shallow depth of your fluff knowledge on things 40K. Those marines are over the top amazing. 1/6th was my first scale, one that I still harbor much love for, but I never made it to the level of even your "first draft" marine. GOOD GRIEF THOSE ARE AWESOME!

What bodies are you using? (if you don't mind divulging)

ow lookie at that emperor.. an he got lovely hair... wish I had hair... Cheers for the info and background... the more I know the more I can put into my work... its just that the universe you guys know and love is SOOO massive for a learner like me ....

As for the bodies, they are just regular True types... when my friend and I started the project we wanted to make them 14" but the lack of bodies and financial constraints meant that we had to make them 12"...


I have just had an email via my site asking if I could make a sgt centurius of the legion of the damned... SO excited I love those guys..... Hope he goes for it!

Been working non-stop on Dan's Sally Mander....









Not happy with the flame guard so completely redoing it ...



Re-worked the head and brows so he looked meaner and less like crispy Anakin..

So... pretty much finished until Dan has had a chance to look at him and see if he is happy.... learnt lots with this figure and I have tried to make him better with a lightweight bolter and backpack and new ankle joints giving him more possibility and more stability…..







Light up eyes would be cool......

Me. need, MORE!!!!!!!

Ok, I am dying to see a Marnus Calgar!!!

They only get better by the looks of that figure, cant wait to see the Techmarine and Angelos finished.

Just a quick question, what figures are ou using to base your marines off?

Absolutely incredible work! I would love to see a Marneus Calgar as well!

Guy on the throne - totally awesome. Everything else, totally epic.

I don't think it'll ever get any better than this!

and here i thought i was in the showcase forum.

Ya might as well stop avoiding it and make a Badass Sister of Battle.

I thought of a way to inprove your Ultramarines.
Sit a small Omega right on top and center of the chest eagle.

Not sure if anyone noticed due to all the custom building but you are one hell of a painter too.

@mwnciboo You forgot AyIatolla of Rockin Rolla.

Ok, these are amazing.

First question, it looks like the armor starts the same, is it a cast from a mold?

Second question, do you sell the castings of "blank" armor?

yes the armour is from moulds that I made from original pieces that my friends Stephen and Manuel and I made...

I can't deal with this. Sooo cool. I know this thread is full of people saying that but I just had to congratulate you on these. Oh and that looks like a space marine version of Clint Eastwood. Badass, simply badass. I now know I officially suck at painting and anything to do with making little plastic soldiers.

Ah cheers my friend... Well I had a wee go at painting the 23mm figures like you guys!!! hell they are soooo small!! I did not get very far... painted about a 3rd of an army for my son a a load of orks and that was it... my eyes fell out...



Started scribing in the panels on the thighs... need to think about a knee emblem next I think...
