Ok, trying to get an idea on the horn placement for my Chaos marine. Nothing is set in stone but thinking more along the lines of Emperors children Slaanesh.

Right now this is the leading canidate:

Though here are a few other locations
B:

C:

D:

What do you think?

(also for the record, the mouth grill will hang fangs kind of like a predator and there will either be a topknot on the crest, or spikes running down it)

A or D IMO

D would probable be best because I think A would limit your head movement with the shoulders.

I'd say A.
It just looks right.

^ This, cause would you want to be whacking your horn onto your shoulder pads every time you looked left or right? lol

Have you looked at the idea of having them come out of the jaw line somewhere? I have seen minis like that before, that look bad ass.

Like tusks almost. . .

A looks to much like a viking imo.
Also, chaos IS NEVER symmetrical, rotate one of those guys 45 degrees from the other and cut off half the horn.

Yeah...Some times they are, because chaos is never not anything

For the minis yes, but most artwork usually shows mutant growths (like horns) are almost always assymetrical.

Blood Wolf · « **Reply #10 on:** September 22, 2011, 05:28:00 AM »

Well, I will say its going to be semetrical since I want a nice looking piece. Yes, while Chaos normaly is asymetrical..I think it will look better to me.

I had thought of the Tusk idea from the mouth area..however with the large fang grill..I think it is too much. Plus it really comes out and down off the mouth and looks too much.

Now...I did take seting A and moved them slightly more foward on the head. It looks a little less Viking and more demonic. Also it would allow for more laterial movement with any shoulder pads and backpack.

PS: the book in which its standing on is the horas heresy "Age of Darkness" [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /> [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/14623/129/emo/d90ef53c8f7c0555ea208fbf08e19c08.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='d90ef53c8f7c0555ea208fbf08e19c08.gif' />

Rock on! You chose a great layout! [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/14623/129/emo/01459939e94f5adb33facf235d2e7c00.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='01459939e94f5adb33facf235d2e7c00.gif' />

That last pic is the layout I'd go for. It has the right demonic appearance for a Chaos Marine. In my opinion.

Use magnets and move them! [img]http://i6.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

I really like the last layout but I worry about your vision.
