Really important when doing conversions of unique characters. <br /><br />@Marshall, I agree, combi-weapons need to be re-done so that the special weapon part looks like a one shot version of a larger weapons, maybe they should use real-life versions as an example (I am thinking of the M-16s that have little grenade launchers on them). Yes, I also really like the original Tycho model, but for this project, it just had to be conversion for uniqueness. :)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-57237681831595645062011-07-18T02:26:52.190-04:002011-07-18T02:26:52.190-04:00What is really nice about this conversion is that ...What is really nice about this conversion is that you can take a quick look at it and totally recognise that he is tycho.Grajohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265365475364460616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-78199578143119002112011-07-17T10:34:43.967-04:002011-07-17T10:34:43.967-04:00Wow, great stuff OSH.

I had played Confrontation back in the day and though it was alright, it didn't set my world alight. Infinity does seem somewhat like Confrontation.<br /><br />To be fair to GW, they have never gone for 'real' sculpts and it has always been in the 'heroic' style.<br /><br />I have done some combi-bolters of my own. I never really like the full sized special weapon [which is one shot] and then something like a bolt pistol underneath. The bolter is the main gun, and the special is the fun size part. So I use a regular bolter and a pistol -> either a melta or plasma or flame pistol, all of which come from the Blood Angel range.<br />Then I change the ammo clip for a storm bolter one, because I think they look cool. But the regular magazine or belt are fine.<br /><br />I fondly remember Tycho back in WD, when he just seemed so cool in the studios new BA army. His death-mask and pose just looked so cool!<br /><br />You've done a good job, even if you don't love GW minis anymore :)Marshal Wilhelmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08274955398809519542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-74443611919656611222011-07-17T05:49:32.823-04:002011-07-17T05:49:32.823-04:00Really nice plastic Tycho, i'm looking forward...Really nice plastic Tycho, i'm looking forward to seeing it painted.Spiderpopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137947790827981518noreply@blogger.com
