<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "How to model Vorn Hagen?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net How to model Vorn Hagen? Before I start, this is my first post on Dakka, so please don't kill me if I accidentally break a rule or two

Context paragraph - skip if you want! I've recently started playing 40k with a small group (after a VERY long break), and decided to start my own imperial fists army, specifically the 5th company with some 1st company veterans. In terms of captain models I have lysander (not 5th but I love fielding him!), a captain from the assault on black reach set, and I am planning to use the pedro kantor model for when I want to field a powerfist captain.

I have been looking for a model to use as my chapter master (Vorn), however I am struggling to find a model that looks like he is a higher rank than the black reach captain, or more intimidating than lysander (he's the chapter master, he has to look the best at SOMETHING). Now I don't have much experience with conversions/green stuff so I was hoping someone could direct me to a suitable model to start with (I was thinking maybe Captain stern from the grey knights but with a hammer?). Any input would be greatly appreciated, heck, into doesn't even have to be a 40k model if it looks cool enough.

P.S Anything but Calgar - one of my friends has fielded him almost every game so far, and I kinda want someone that screams IMPERIAL FISTS MOTHER , so the head smurf is out

Thanks in advance ^,^

*edited for spelling, also realised that i was using the name of the previous chapter master, vladimir pugh, by accident *]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8287582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8287582.page GMT How to model Vladmir Pugh? Maybe a little 'true scaling' may be in order, a mm or two of height is not a bad way to lend authority. That or a special base, raised or just 'fancier' then the base troopers.
Pose. Personally this is the biggest 'marker' too me, a commander should be in a command pose, not necessary an fighting/ running/shooting action, but one of 'bad arse directing. "I'm so bad, that if you can get though this army of mine, then maybe I will spare you a minute (or less) and kick you butt." ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8287659.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8287659.page GMT Re:How to model Vladmir Pugh? Tried your suggestion, took me seconds to find one that I liked - I'm gonna go with Armillus Dynat (alpha legion, but a file can fix that ), looks exactly how I imagined: Calm and composed appearance, ornate yet rough looking armour, huge hammer. Plus he's one of the cheaper characters so that helps

Thanks, great idea!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8287756.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8287756.page GMT How to model Vladmir Pugh? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8288002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8288002.page GMT How to model Vladmir Pugh?

Have a look at the Masters of the Chapter set as well.


I had originally considered this, but they (in my opinion) fall into the trap of "not as badass as lysander" and "not looking like they outrank my captain". I had thought of using them as honour guard, but went with the sevrin loth's honour guard instead.

If I ever get to the point of owning 6 space marine companies, I would consider using them to represent captains (along with the two already planned/owned), but apart from that the models don't really seem to fit any other niche for me.

TLDR: Good suggestion, but I want my chapter master to be the centrepiece of the army, so the model must be MAGNIFICENT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8288020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8288020.page GMT How to model Vorn Hagen? !]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8291865.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/671795/8291865.page GMT
