One of the best things about have a bit of a back log of posts for this blog is that when I say stuff like, "I'm just waiting of some bits to finish this guy off," I can sometimes get the bits in hand, paint them, and have a completed mini before the original post goes up on the blog. This is one of those times.
He is obviously GW's Master of the Fleet. I got him off of the same guy that I got the chapter master off of. My buddy had stuck a Rhino pilot's head on the body, and I didn't think it said Dark Angels, so I decided to stick with the cape and tabard theme and give him a hood. I think he looks pretty bad ass.
Not sure why I picked this angle, but you can kinda see the checkerboard pattern on the banner, that is a throwback to the checkerboard I did on the chapter master.
Along with the banner and hooded head, I bought a Dark Angels backpack to tie it all together. I believe this one comes from the Ravenwing. The only bad thing is that the lip of the right shoulder pad is actually wedged up under the skull-shaped exhaust port for the backpack. I hope he isn't planning on swinging that hammer!
I'm not sure if this new guy would be another chapter master, but he does look like he could pull it off.
Excellent work, with really nice attention to detail.
ReplyDeleteLooks good. Reminds me of Ezzio from Assassin's Creed 2/3 in Power Armour.
