Magos Belion Tygrosa New Incarnation

[Tessio Niri]

Hi everyone

I've been planning this guy for a long time. His previous incarnation was based on the penitent engine and he was a beast, however I was never really happy and decided to use the penitent engine as a basis for a praetorian.

This time tygrosa will be a magos obsessed with Necron tech and has modelled his cybernetics on necron designs. I plan on him carrying a two handed power axe incorporating a built in converted Necron Gauss Flayer.

Here is an initial picture of my progress so far



As always all C&C welcome.

Interesting start.  I look forward to seeing it evolve.

Is that body a 54mm pewter Robocop?  Thats pretty awesome.  Looking great so far.

[Kaled]

It's Technocop by Andrea Miniatures - not Robocop at all! 

I've used it a couple of times, once for a high ranking Skitarii and the second time for a Necron Pariah, so I'd say that it's perfect for a character who's based his body on the design of Necron tech.

I'm liking the beard.

nice head arrangement, always a fan of the madly bionic faces on AdMech

Hi all,

Finally got round to making some more progress on my magos. Heres some pictures (sorry in advance if they're a bit dark):

Weapon Progress



I initially not sure if the shoulder pads are a little on the large side. Same with the shape of the axe/halbard blade.

Please everyone I need guidance so all C&C welcome.

Very nice work so far - I like what you've done with his robes.  I do think the shoulder pads are a touch too big - large shoulder pads are very common in 40k, but I think you could trim a millimetre or two off these and they'd still be good.  I really love the design of the halberd, but I'd say it is definitely too big, it looks more like it's been built for a 75mm character - I vote you keep the style but make a smaller version.

[kierkegaard]

I like the shoulder pads just as they are (if he took them from a Necron, they would look a bit big on a human, yes?)

I do think that the halberd is overly large (in every dimension.) I like the design very much though.

I really like the work that you have done on his head and robes. I am very much looking forward to seeing it finished.

[Myriad]

the face is shaping up well - like the goggle eyed look.  The shoulder plates are quite large, but necrons do have some rather prominent shoulderplates.  the halberd looks cool, but does need scaling down.

[precinctomega]

I love the shoulder pads.  Very nice work.  I agree with the others, though, that the weapon seems improbably outsized, even for the Dark Millennium.

Halberd needs to be much smaller. The height is a bit tall, but okay, especially if you are going from the looted/copoed from a necron idea, but the blade really makes it too cartoony.

[Tessio Niri]

Thank for the advice guys.

I've cut the halberd down so I believe that the hieght is about right now. the blade has been remodelled and I think thats about right too.



Thanks again, will post mor WIP pictes soon.

That mini looks truly fantastic.  I think you really got the proportions right with the axe when you redid it.  Can't wait to see this one finished up.
