While looking for a bit for one of my vets I stumbled onto my dead amarine blister.
I came up with this awesome Iron Cage inspired Diorama/Objective
I added tons and tons of bolter shells and a broken power sword handle on the base
The broken tip is sticking out of the Iron Warriors back,someone better get to him soon or he's fethed.

Looks awesome. i always loved making objectives and booby traps. The only thing i think would be cool is if you replced the head of the marine with an officers, becuase I think soldiers would try to get to an officer faster than a regular soldier. Awesome though, and great work!

Yup, great objective! You could make a special rule for certain games where he can take pot shots at any nearby enemies. Anyway, really great work!

very cool. I haven't seem the one blister used on one base as of yet. nice work sir.

Are him and the powerfist guy holding hands?!?

Just kidding,and it looks great btw. Can't wait to see it painted: if you paint him like a vet. or sgt. it will give some importance to him as an objective.

Here is the Objective marker a bit further along,I still need to do the cloak.


And here is a Veteran in Mk5 Heresy Armor

This is incredible. The objective just oozes character. Consider the idea stolen.

Valk

I'll have to take this idea.

Nice job. I like the blood on the objective.

Looks really cinematic.

MOAR PICS pleez

That is so cool, and looks so expensive...

Honestly though, that's badass. Well painted and well modeled - almost seems like a shame to have it only be an objective marker. Anyway, the battle between the Iron Warriors and the Imperial Fists is one of my favorites - great job!

Here is the finished objective

Superb!! How did you make the shell casings?

Valk

When you do g/s work any leftover g/s roll into a thin sausage and let dry
Once hard slice the correct size off with an exacto.
I have a bits cup half-full of them.
There is a guy on these board who makes hyper-realistic ones out of resin but I think my my works fine and for the right price.

That's really, really nice. How'd you get the blood looking so good?

Ok thanks for the tips

Valk

Damn nice man,
It has a real 'liveliness" to it

VERY nice indeed - especially with one of the most challenging colors to do well in yellow.

You not only did well, you did fantastically well!

Awesome
