Chapter Master WIP Pt. 2

Well ... I was able to successfully magnetize my shoulder pads and it works ... for the most part. Not happy with how the Dark Angels powerfist worked out, so I may try a different one. The weapon arm, on the other hand worked perfectly. On a bit of a downside, the helmet wings interfere with all but the most rudimentary DA backpack. This means no banner, and none of the funky backpacks from the veteran box. I could pop the wings off, I suppose, but I do like the look.

 Pictures tomorrow.

Chapter Master WIP

As promised, here is my Chapter Master ... sorry for the lack of arms, but I am currently in the process of magnetizing all my weapon options, including single lightning claws and power fists.




Here is a picture of the wrist, with a 1/16th x 1/32 magnet inserted. Sorry for the slight blurriness.



The idea of being able to field my Chapter Master with a Jetpack, Thunderhammer and combi-plasma is too tempting not to leave that option open.

Here is the combi-plasma with the pair of the wrist magnet. I was afraid the hold would not be strong enough, but it works surprisingly well.



Next stop ... mgnetizing shoulder pads ... wish me luck.

Current Projects

I'm currently working on a Chapter Master, using the Space Marine Commander box and a plethora of bitz from the Dark Angels sprues. I'll be adding pictures later, but suffice it to say that magnets are going to play a large part in the build. There are tons of options available to Dark Angels Chapter Masters, including jet packs, and I intend to make all of them availabel on this one model.

I will also be show-casing what I feel are my best models to date. So stay tuned.
