I know... I know....
I did what most of you will consider a sacrilege.
And I'm prepared for the shitstorm. ^^

But I did it anyway.
I built myself a model for the god emperor himself.

Please tell me what you think, be it positive, negative.

I will use him in my fluffy Adeptus Custodes army as a stand in for Lord Kaldor Draigo.

Thanks for looking.









With his personal lige guard:





With a regular marine for size comparison:

At least he is always shown with a claw.

Speaking of Draigo... No.
I will have to ask for permission to use this model as a stand in.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105309.page GMT Re:The god emperor of mankind http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105327.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105327.page GMT The god emperor of mankind BA impression. ^^

If I do not get the permission to use it, I'd choose another opponent. I only get a game in, once in two weeks.

If someone does not allow me to use a single guy as a stand in, in an otherwise wsyiwyg army, he is probably not worth my time.
As harsh as this may sound.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105370.page GMT The god emperor of mankind http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5105847.page GMT Re:The god emperor of mankind TFG. I'd rather play an army with cool conversions than one of the countless unpainted armies that I see even if it isn't wysiwyg.

Model looks great. Can't wait to see it painted.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5106426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5106426.page GMT Re:The god emperor of mankind
From the fluff pictures I've seen I would say you've captured him perfectly. Personally I would remove the blood drop but that's just me.

Can't wait to see some paint on him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5106470.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5106470.page GMT The god emperor of mankind http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5106477.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5106477.page GMT The god emperor of mankind

Maybe it's the distorted perspective in some pictures, but I can tell you that the only real blood drop is the one above his head, and the jury voted for removing it. ^^
The others are just oval gems deriving from high elf kits. And if I do not paint them red I don't think they will be confused with blood drops anymore.

Gave him a new claw I had lying around and properly based him.

Hope you like it.

In all the close up pictures the hair doesn't seem to fall right I would suggest bringing the hair over his neck a bit more as it seems to be flowing unnaturally (yes I know he's a man god and therefore unnatural but it still looks odd to me)

I would personally go for a simpler base too, so it doesn't distract from all the detail on him. I liked the thought of him floating through psychic energy and not walking as he seems to be doing now.

Again though I must stress that this is magnificent work and must have taken you a millennia to do.

P.S Merry Christmas ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5108385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/496217/5108385.page GMT
