SOO about that Fisherman..

[Hive Bahamut]

So I decided to finally start my conversion for my Company Commander. For those that are unaware if you take the Grand Strategist Trait with Kurov's Aquilla you generate CP's back on a 5+ (only 1 per enemy STRATAGEM though) I call this the Fisherman. He will usually accompany 2 Tank Commanders for a squeeze in eeze Supreme Command.

I was trying to make it look as though he was jumping from the seat a bit, due to whatever reason.. The pole, the smoke, the drink.. He might have just been napping.. Who cares. I was trying to find a use for the scenic base my friend gave me, and I think it was the perfect setup. Notice the Genestealer hand creeping out of the tunnel. Probably not my camera sucks, or I shake ToO mUcH.

What say you Hive? WhAt CaN i Do To ImPrOvE mY cC? What looks dumb? What do you like?

It looks good tbh. The entire base looks pretty decent, the one issue i have is the position of the CC himself. Its an unnatural-looking pose really, and theres a couple of things that look a bit off, like the fact that the legs look a bit too straight. But thats nothing a little GS cant fix, and other than that it looks pretty darn good. Love the Genestealer hand coming out of the sewer, nice touch!

This was the biggest issue when I was planning for him to sit. A regular standing model it was. I am not happy with how raised he is, and was more or less just placing it all to see what worked. I will shave down some material to seat in better.

The Laspistol hand is probably being removed for a grenade hand turned bottle too. Something about tossing an empty bottle seems to fit right in with the theme.

Now to start my naming process for my humans/hybrids.. Something overembellished like Louis Lenard Derouso Lamot the 3rd.

Starting to look a little more real, and a little less stupid. The bottle arm was perfect, and the model is still WYSIWYG. Cutting down the back section was key. Smash some GS in the back and GTG.

Oh and his name will be fitting of Management. Bill.. Like Bill Lumbergh. Best.. Boss.. Ever.. Mmkay!?

Not sure what to paint the Company Commander as Brood Brothers is what?! Do I pick a defected guard and just not use rules? OR do you paint them GSC colour? Cadia/4-Armed?

Any other tips? Anything else look strange? I mean this IS supposed to be like the Walmart equivalent of Golden Daemon stuff here.

PS: Now this Tyranid player will buy Imperial models, GW wins! Alien--Hybrid--Human

I like it.
The base is very well done.
The rest looks good to go, I'd like to see it painted.

I have a question though : what is he holding in his left hand? is that a cigar?

i (please do not swear) love this.

So progress in on hold because Bill is in battle. He has leisurely picked up 6 CP so far and tanked a round of Deathmarks shooting (6 Rapid Fire) using the free-roll from Strategist to lose only a wound. Perfect intro. *throws bottle* "Booo."

That next turn I pulled Priority 66 Capture 3. The one he was standing on. 4 EZ points. "Hey everybody. Come see how good I look!"

Now he's just going to run on top of a building and yell at stuff. Fool.

He is holding a bottle, and a large wrapped smokeable, with another bottle behind. Being that this is 40k I wouldn't dare say it was anything short of a Jeffrey equivalent. Same with the bottle. I'm going to throw out the word Absynthe. (I mean it's probably NOT a glass of sparkling water and a light cigarette, if that's what you're asking.)

Love this start to my Militarum. If I wanted to do Scions (to match the glass hammer deepstrike style, with a tempting switcheroo) would I be able to use him as a CC or have to take him as the Tempestus Prime? I know Scions don't lose their thing if they join Militarum, but how does Brood brothers work with them? I really don't care if they don't have the bonus I just like the theme. I want them to be like the Flash Gitz to my Neophytes if that makes sense.

needs to be modeled after quinn from jaws.

A minor update. A little more colour and I slapped the 4 armed basics on to see if I like those colours. I think the jury is out until the GSC codex drops and Brood Brothers is explained further. I am moving so probably not much progress for a bit, either.

Not too familiar with Quinn's personality. I will be trying to establish backstory/character for my Militarum, so I will look into it. I'm pushing for them to be like an Elite Redneck/Hillbilly regiment (dumb as lead paint, easy to manipulate.) The GSC will take the "rags to riches" aesthetic, instead giving a good parallel.
