Merek Grimaldus - Redesign concept

Finally finished! I started this drawing months ago, but I just couldn’t find the time or motivation to finish it 😭 I imagined a new design of Grimaldus by blending his official appearance, his look in Richard Boylan’s Helsreach fan film, and a few Primaris armour elements. I wanted to get as close as possible to a 3D render, so I tried to depict him as if he were a miniature 🖌️

Merek Grimaldus - Redesign concept

I wanted to create a drawing that would look as close to 3D as possible, so I went with the idea of a miniature😁 I tried a redesign of Merek Grimaldus, inspired by his official miniature, his design in Richard Boylan’s fan film, and elements of Primaris armor. I’m going to try to color it as if it had been “painted.”

While I wasn't working on the Warlord, I also had an opportunity to undertake some on-the-spot field repairs to a couple of damaged weapons. Nothing particularly notable about them so no pics, just stock photographs of the models receiving my attention.

Both Ivanus Enkomi and the Vindicare Assassin had broken weapons in need of pinning - the former, the crozius’ haft had snapped just under the power fist, while the latter’s suppressor had broken off the rifle. In both cases, the join was too narrow for glue, alone, to hold.

Although, frankly, you shouldn’t be relying on glue to hold any kind of a join at all. Superglue, especially, does terrible things to styrene plastic (worse if you use an accelerant) and the next time it breaks it’ll be that much worse. So, pinning it is.

Fortunately, both models had just enough diameter to run a length of wire gauge brass across the break. In Enkomi’s case, because the crozius is segmented like vertebra, I ran the pin all the way down to the other hand to ensure it wouldn’t snap again where the material had been weakened by drilling it out.

The Vindicare’s exitus rifle was easier, as it’s a big, blocky shape and just required about half the suppressor’s length on either side of the join to hold it steady. Sufficiently reinforced and even the embrittling effect of superglue won’t compromise the model’s integrity.
