Could you take another picture, possibly from a different angle? From this shot it looks like the arms are stiff and unnatural.

Yup I agree, more specifically I think it's the left arm - it needs to either be higher up with the chainsword resting on his shoulder (ubercool if you could pull that off) or lower down with the chainsword pointing at the ground to give the model a bit more flow.

The way you have phrased this ('this shot' not 'these shots') makes it seem as if you have only seen one angle. I included a Face On shot (that red text  is a link) in the original post. Does that help, or do you want to see a shot taken from in between the two angles?

Rob - I like your idea of resting the chainsword on the shoulder. Now, how to do that? (lurches off to search through bits box.)

[RobSkib]

Couldn't you cut his current arm at the elbow, bit of filing, bit of GS, job done! I think it would give him a tonne of character which is sorely missing at the moment.

Sorry to dig this back up, and sorry to have taken so long about getting on with it, but I have some (minimal) progress to report.

In an effort to reposition it, I ruined the Kal Jerico arm in the previous photo.    I also broke the chainsword.

I have resorted to using the bent Kal Jerico arm, and a power maul (which I think looks pretty good.)

Face On

Any criticism is welcome. Otherwise, i will just go ahead with it as it is. I hope you like it.

I think he looks pretty cool. The shock maul is a nice touch, I can't wait to hear how he got it. And I'm sad to hear about the chainsword, I thought it was really well done, but I'm sure you could do it again for a different model. I can't wait to see him painted.

[Myriad]

I rather like the maul, and the pose is definitely better.  Combines to give him a good air of authority.

[Shannow]

I much prefer this pose to his previous incarnation, much more natural to me, and shock maul also fits very well indeed.

[Radu Lykan]

looks really good, hes got "i'm in charge" written all over him
