The only problem with the wonky design that his been pointed out to me is a resemblance to Doctor Robotnik from the Sonic games :P<br /><br />I was going to fix the feet on this one, as they bug me, too (clown shoes, anyone?) but Brother Pink advise me to leave this one as is and fix the feet on the next one, which, knowing me and how I can languish in getting something right, is probably a good plan :DMr_Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057075789177712997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300995389438911591.post-62332795462745980542016-11-30T19:38:16.125-05:002016-11-30T19:38:16.125-05:00woah.

The really thin thighs coupled with the large shins gives it a slightly wonky look that really reminds me of Final Fantasy. I feel like I would change the feet. I think they can stay pretty big, but I do not like how round and bulbous they are.Gregory Wierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773235150604731258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300995389438911591.post-46568660141076428442016-11-11T13:39:14.526-05:002016-11-11T13:39:14.526-05:00I got the name wrong.

I'm pretty sure the hit box on this one is 2x the actual armoured sentinel one, and the arms are only there to link it to the Cult's mining origin.<br /><br />That being said, I have a mad idea of creating a Tyranid ally force, except monstrous creatures would be represented by mecha, and termagants by unwashed-masses-style hybrids. In that army, this model could probably serve as a Carnifex, which would give it PLENTY to do with those claws >:)Mr_Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057075789177712997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300995389438911591.post-1454984150508551522016-11-08T12:47:53.996-05:002016-11-08T12:47:53.996-05:00Thanks brother!

The armour in the game is something you only get to use for the first like 20 minutes of play, but it is so awesome that I'm happy to have created it in life.<br /><br />That being said, I don't think the design is perfect yet, so let me know if you have ideas about what I can do with the clown toes.<br /><br />Also: POST ON YOUR BLOODY HOBBY BLOG!

It's unfortunate that the sentinels don't have options for the close combat weapons, I'm pretty sure a rock drill and stone claw would be fitting within a cult version.Joe Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580338400200714419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300995389438911591.post-61711863150079387592016-11-08T11:33:32.920-05:002016-11-08T11:33:32.920-05:00Looking awesome, Pinky!

...Thanks Jeff! Glad I was able to sell you on it :D<br /><br />I'm having trouble deciding whether I'm pleased with the design as is (minus the clown shoes. Need to fix the clown shoes), or whether I want to revise it when I convert up the next Kastelan to make it closer to the source material (mostly the pixelated shot of it in game; I don't love the modernized render). <br /><br />The benefit of leaving it like this is that the conversion to make it happen is pretty easy!Mr_Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057075789177712997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300995389438911591.post-45002078105404750082016-11-07T15:15:04.132-05:002016-11-07T15:15:04.132-05:00I have to admit I wasn't sold on this idea whe...I have to admit I wasn't sold on this idea when I saw it on Twitter, but you've totally changed my mind. I love the effect of the skinny thighs and heavy shins. It very easily shifts it closer to the anime spectrum without going off the rails. The overall look is spot on, even if it's not 100% accurate to the source. I love it! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073755343853372647noreply@blogger.com
