Im looking for a couple specific types of bits.

For the Ravager} I am seeking a Chainblade that is made of large serrated Teeth. Does anyone know of either a ravager chainblade or a monster that is fairly cheep $ that i can remove the teeth from to use for the blades? i dont have the sculpting skillset to pull it off myself.

For the Paragon Gauntlet} I am seeking either a Lions head (simular to the green lion from voltron) or a knight sized lions claw.

Im also seeking a Reaver Sized lion head to use as the gauntlet for a future build.

ive looked a few sites, but my searchfu sucks. any help be appreciated. Tons of wolf stuff, but not so much Lion.

any thoughts?

Yeah.. the lion head idea might take some work to find.. They aren't a common theme in either Warhammer, especially large enough to play the gauntlet option.

As to teeth for your chainblade, again I'm at a loss.

It'd take a little work to shape them, but you could always take the teeth off a dozer blade.. they're a bit bigger and more prominent, and if you cut them through the dozer blade's structure you can extend their length a little more.

Might sound gross but, I had a ton of baby nurse shark teeth from a ocean trip in 2005. I've lent those to my friends for their nids.

Ebay may help in this regard. Also, I don't recall the name of this high elf model but, this right here may be your best bet if you can get the bits.

That high elf model is parts from several.

It's a "white lion" soldier (quite possibly a crewman from the chariot) and a white lion from the chariot (tiranoc chariot box builds a white lion chariot OR a tiranoc high elf one).
Combined with the legs of a knight of some kind.

For the chainblade, instead of sculpting teeth with greenstuff or whatever, have you considered maybe carving them out of plasticard? That way you'll have a consistent thickness between all the teeth, but can still have a bit of variation in the shape/serratedness. You could then just cut off the original teeth of an existing Knight Gallant chainsword and replace them with the plasticard ones. Or you could scratch-build the entire blade section with plasticard, if you wanted to go really hardcore. XD

As for lion bits, have you checked out http://sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php yet? Put "lion" in the search box and there's a whole bunch of stuff with lion things you might be able to use. I don't know if they'll be the right size though, but worth a look. http://www.relicminiatures.com/ might also have something you can use.

I have been to scriborminiatures
They are the only people ive found that make lion anything.

The lion biker knight and the lion knight are too small in scale. the shoulder pads are same size as normal pads. I dont like the bike, its 2 parts and bonds right under the rider. the rider dont sit near as well as the space wolf riders. The lion knight itself isnt large enough to serve as a primarch let alone bits for a imperial knight.

the lion from the chariot is also far too small of a scale, smaller then a thunderwolf.

the teeth is a good idea, as is the plasticard, ive never worked with the plasticard yet. good excuse to learn how.

Ah okay, shame that Scibor didn't have anything useful!

Plasticard's pretty easy to work with! It can just be a little tedious and fiddly sometimes, heh. I did a little tutorial thread a while back on how to make weapons from plasticard, maybe it'll help you out! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/636522.page

Here's another example of plasticard weapons I've made - obviously nowhere near the scale of a Knight, but still should give an idea of what can be done!


That mace has sixty individual feathers cut out and glued into place. SIXTY. aaaaaagh.

If you've got any questions, let me know, I'm happy to help out!

I just followed your tutorial, looks straight forwards enough. Im very good at whittling wood. Ive got balsa wood here, never even though of pulling out a knife and trying with that, mostly cuz wood is heavier then plastic and i didnt want the knight to always tip over.. Failing that, ill try the plasticard too, just gotta wait til next month to more supplies. ill let ya know if i have any issues. far as the ravenger goes.

Far as a lion headed gauntlet.
If i know what Size the knight, or how to tell the size, I could search for the right bits.

Like a space marine is 28mm scale, which google tells me is 1.1 inches tall.
My Tactical marine measures 1.3 inches tall, with a base of .2 that makes sense.

The knight stands roughly 6.5 inches tall above the base.

Does that mean the Knight Gallant is 165mm scale?

You'd be surprised at the stability of the knight, even with heavier weapons. My Styrix's Volkite weapon is solid resin, and likely weightier than the teeth on your chainblade, but the model doesn't tip. Granted, I need to use some good magnets to keep that arm on the model, but that's really the only problem.
