I spent some time with putty to try out different things, and talked to some friends and decided to go with option 2. Here's my centurion squad. I think leaving off the kilt makes them look a bit more mobile, and the directly attached weapons make it look more like a suit since the arms of the armour really had no function. I think these look more anatomical which makes them more pleasing to the eye as well. It is almost like the kit was made to be assembled this way and 1/8" magnets fit right into the weapon ports pretty easily. I also wanted to have a distinct way to tell the sergeant apart (other than those silly standards or helmet crests) and put the largest brass etch detailing on him (middle guy). I may add a few more purity seals if the mood strikes me.I spent some time with putty to try out different things, and talked to some friends and decided to go with option 2.

not bad. mini dreadnought in appearance, these are more of a bridge between dread-terminators than the original vanilla kit is.
ReplyDeleteI definately went for a mini dreadnought look. Super simple and it allows weapon swapping a lot easier. Not ground breaking but something different :)
