Finally got into modelling mode again - this time it's, yet, another try to come up with a suitable model for my hypaspist. As some might remember I have already been through several different designs The hypaspist is, by the way, the rank and file trooper of the mechanicus - a super IG if you will (IG stats). What I think of hypaspists is: a mass produced above average soldier, still quite human but with a good deal of tech and bionics - easily more soldier than the tech-priests. Though, topclass and trimmed rank and file soldiers, I also see them as a bit feral, rather violent bunch - without much regret and a burning desire to serve the Machine God. I'm planning on settling on one of these designs, and though I have my favourites, I'd really be interested in your views and opinions. Pictures of all the bits can be seen in my blog if you should be interested.

I'm planning on settling on one of these designs, I'm not quite sure what you mean, are you saying that you're planning to make them all identical as though mass produced? If so, I'd probably go with number 7.

It a close call between 3 and 6 for me. Those chunkier legs for me just make them look more Admec IMO and the other ones look too dainty to be Admec Guard.
I'd definitely look at the other legs for normal IG though lead by a dandy chap with a swagger stick.

To anyone voting you need to look at the link to The Forge as Manus has chosen the most static legs for the test for the heavy legs but a more dynamic pose for the other legs.

1 is my choice, has a nice big bolter so better equipped, stocky stance and floor length coat. With the mechanised head.

Number eight for me. I like the massive legs with the bionic arms, and I think this head looks more tech than the helmeted one.

Thanks for your comments guys - please keep them coming. I must say I agree with most, though I really like the bigger gun. And yes, the plan was to choose one and then mass produce. Btw - completely forgot to mention the bases, behold the beautiful work of our own sw1!

I like them all. But if I have to choose: * 3 to 6: the head you used here looks a bit less elite than the one in 1-2 and 7-8: so 3-6 * 3 and 5: the gun you used here looks a bit less marine like than the one in 4 and 6, and so more suitable: so 3 or 5 * 3: I like this jacket a bit more So 3 it is.

Number 7 or 8 hard to call it between the 2 of them but if I had to pick one it would be number 8.

Though I suggested N°3 myself, - 10 people out of 12 voted for a model that has the legs of N°8. -> so these legs - 9 people out of 12 voted for a model that has the head of N°8. -> so this head - 7 people out of 12 voted for a model that has the gun of N°8. -> more or less 50/50 here, so you should choose N°1 or N°8 I think. N°8 having most votes ...

Thanks a lot guys, for all the comments. As you pretty much seem to agree I think I'll go for no. 8, perhaps with a mix of guns. Parts will be ordered and hopefully I'll be able to show you more once we get past game-day.
