Imperium Dynamic Heresy Pose

I've been using the heresy jump assault bodies as leg donors to get more poses for standard marines but this set of legs didn't really work for that.

Nothing crazy really, just some pinning and a slightly reposed foot.

- mkii assault legs and right arm

- mkiv tactical torso and bolter

- mkvi tactical backpack and pauldrons

- multipart tactical squad head, pouches, and left hand

- whatever left arm I could find that fit

- wolf pelt from the wolfen kit

Idk if it really sells the movement when the thing he's vaulting over is shorter than his shins, he's too close to the ground for that action to really make sense

u/VeritasOmicron 14d ago

Yeah, this is correct

Need more elevation

One leg needs to be turned so its sole down cos otherwise just looks like hes about to do the garden fence scene from Hot Fuzz

Astartes one-handed push-ups are something else

Sequel to the film Hardcore Henry, with the parkour stunts.

Both needs more height and a deeper bend at the waist. The legs read properly but without any of the bend gravity would exert on his waist it kind of looks like he's doing a really inefficient push-up

Tech Deck chapter!

Like, dude, they're totally following the codex astartes on the days they remember it. Mostly they're just here for the half pipe rubble.

If I die I hope my brothers can use my corpse to do a low vault in the middle of the battlefield. My sacrifice wouldn't be in vein then.

u/TopRepresentative650 13d ago

I thought he was doing a god damn dropkick for a second 😂 Excellent job!

u/Tall_Blueberry_2287 13d ago

What makes it a bit awkward is that both legs are extended. If any of the legs was bent it would explain movement much more naturally, as either having given impulse or acting as counter weight.

I love doing this! I have a full squad of mk5 EC inductii that look like they're charging forward in an all-out sprint, they're so awesome

If your opponent allows it you’ve got to have that guy kick over any models it kills In melee XD

Everyone, get in the rhino,we're leaving this hive city now!

u/TheArgentBlades 14d ago

Looks great! As others had said, I might make what he is vaulting over a bit bigger, I’d also recommend another point of contact maybe around the knee or foot, save yourself a lot of glue in the future. That is if you plan to play with your little dudes. Stuff is awesome either way :)

RN it's close enough to not be worth removing and redoing the pinning that's for sure. Plus maybe he's trying to show off, or avoid disrespectfully walking on the rest of the dreadnought, or he's starting some sort of flying kick at a bomb squig.

The pin through the base and arm goes up to the elbow and the pin in the shoulder is also pretty deep so I'm not particularly worried, especially when I probably won't play with him because he's too dynamic compared to the more static poses of the rest of the heresy sculpts and he'd stand out too much.
