So far I've got this old DA captain, sans cloaked backpack, freshly repainted and based but I need the 2nd lieutenant spot filled

not my model


i was thinking of using this old skool DA vet sgt and adding in a winged helm from the DA upgrade sprue under his arm



anyone got any thoughts or better ideas??? i wanna keep away from robes and hoods because i dont want it to look like one lieutenant outranks the other, that they are of the same level.

also looking for advice on how to model the arm to hold the winged helm]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10126299.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10126299.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant

I don't know if Lieutenants need a winged helm to be honest- I thought only Masters got those. I could be wrong, and I do think the model would look very cool with it arm though. For modelling it, you'd probably have to do some cutting and gap filling to repose a standard Marine left arm (that normally grips a weapon).


not too worried about winged helms fluff wise, its just the way i've decided to go. one lieutenant has one therefore so should the other.

regarding the arm, are you suggesting using the left arm that holds the bolter as the base to modify???]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10127922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10127922.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant
If I remember aright, wasn't that model a captain back in the day?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10127986.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10127986.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant

yeah he was a captain back in the day but when stood beside Balthasar he looks somewhat demoted so I've decided to go with him as a lieutenant. this is why i need a comparable looking model to serve as the 2nd lieutenant. a model that looks the part but doesnt stand out more than the old captain model so no robes]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128093.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128093.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant

I see. Have you considered chopping off the bare headed lieutenants head and glueing another feathered helm in its place? Could work?

Just had a brainwave- how about simplifying things and adding the winged helm on his belt? That would make sense, since it'd keep both arms free.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128223.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128223.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant

replacing the head is certainly an option but i think i wanna challenge myself to do some modeling.

i considered adding to the belt after seeing a lot of the primaris sgts but i feel the wings would stick out pretty awkwardly]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128375.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant DA fluff guy so I can't comment on the feather/non-feather continuum though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128513.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128513.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128853.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128888.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant tbh. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128912.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10128912.page GMT Thoughts on This Dark Angels Lieutenant

The wings on the helm will stick out to far. He is a solid fig. In the original fluff a lieutenant would have a gold symbol above his eyes shaped kind of like a elongated bow tie on his helmet. That way you don't need wings. Don't know DA fluff since I play Space Wolves and Orks. Good luck. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10131679.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/762833/10131679.page GMT
