Old models had "grain" simply because teh sculptors just couldn't model huge flat surfaces either and the models were tinier.<br />I guess it's about the same differences as between electronic music and analogic music...Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-61685586451304543772015-08-22T10:23:06.073+02:002015-08-22T10:23:06.073+02:00Yeah you're right, I guess it's more what ...Yeah you're right, I guess it's more what the Sigmarites represent that I don't like rather than the minis.<br /><br />He really does look very much like what I imagine as coming from say, the "Age Of Strife"<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879413617587155317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-14646389252903753092015-08-22T09:33:52.266+02:002015-08-22T09:33:52.266+02:00Cheers my friend !

The only way I can justifi having such a monster in a game is by assuming he's totally not human from the satr hence my choice for a proto primarch, it sort of made sense with the thunder armour. It also allowed to dig into some unexplored parts of the background (or maybe it has already been explored but since I don't read any 40k related book I may have missed those).<br />Some people will surely come up with better ideas but at least I found an easy one to be original !<br /><br />Cheers Suber !Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221418482531324115.post-71494471470261618222015-08-21T14:08:44.091+02:002015-08-21T14:08:44.091+02:00I like your approach!

Everyone out there is mumbling about doing some realscale Blood Angels or Custodes, but in fact I think these Sigmarites would make some decent realscale Emperor's Children. The curves on the armor, the whole design...<br />I don't think I'll be taking the endeavour (though I love the realscale art), but it would be nice seeing them. I handn't thought of your approach, looks refreshing.
