Toa Hagah Team by Sargos

My general idea behind this entry is to give each hagah more distinct aesthetic and a bit of texture theme while still having the team pattern and not deviating too much from the existing 2 hagah.

Bomonga

He’s a big boi.
I really like how Wenua’s hammers look with the texture of hordika foot on his back, similar texture gives him a more consistent look.
His hammer-shaped spear is attached to the balljoint, fitting weapon for his design, something lego would probably do. Always wanted to utilise Pohatu’s feet addons as an actual weapon.

Mask model by Galva can be found here:Great Mask of Growth (axle) (9L2KPTR2U) by Galva_bot

Gaaki

Socket (secondary) color: Mata blue

Connector is added for a bit of extra friction on the shoulderplate so it wouldn’t wiggle as much. Her chastplate and shoulders follow the trident theme which correlates to her mask shape and weapon choice.

Pouks

Socket (secondary) color: Dark Orange
Here’s the torso construction:

His weapon is Onua Nuva’s grinder made into a chainspear (Wh40k inspired)
I’m concerned that this chestplate will interfere a bit with head movement though it looks more edgy… It would probably look better with the standart mask of emulation, but I do think this version of Elda looks very fitting on him.
He has Elda shaped mask of emulation.

And Kualus

Socket (secondary) color: Light Turquoise (Teal?)
Again the armor texture correlates with his mask and the theme of his weapon.

I give consent for my spear tip to be altered in the final group art if the artist chooses: No

[Seuss]

I could be wrong but i dont think custom part shoulderpads are allowed. liking the teal on kualus tho

[Winger]

I’m all for fantastical stretches on a “spear” but a straight up hammer seems a bit of a stretch for me.

[TheJerminator]

@Seuss

i dont think custom part shoulderpads are allowed

They aren’t.

Just to be clear, “custom” here means 3d-printed; using non-shoulder parts as shoulder armour is totally fine. Kualus is the only issue here.

@Seuss

liking the teal on kualus

Same.

[KanohiReqi]

You forgot your consent on changing the design for the final artwork.

[Sargos]

It doesn’t say anything about no 3d printed shoulders in the rules tho.

[Senit]

But it says it’s restricted to mask and weapons. Liking the model tho

[TheJerminator]

It does:

@Eljay

6. 3D printed pieces are allowed.
6a. 3D printed pieces are limited to masks and weapons, for a total allowance of four (4) 3D printed pieces.

[Sargos]

Fine, I’ll change it.

[Sargos]

Here we go, a bit bulky, but the texture fits really well. Which version you think is better?

[Sargos]

Norik uses an axe for a spearhead, so why not.

[Winger]

The scale is markedly different.

You don’t imagine Norik would have to make a chopping motion with his weapon to do damage.

[Atobe_Brick]

I think it’s the proportions that make a difference. Norik’s spear-end is longer than it is wide.

[Sargos]

On side note, I actually do imagine Norik making a chopping motion with his spear, firstly because the tip is blunt, secondly because that’s kinda the scale that war axes are supposed to have irl.

[Winger]

@Sargos

firstly because the tip is blunt

… so are the flanges

@Sargos

secondly because that’s the scale that war axes are supposed to have irl.

Then why did you give your Bomonga such a huge hammer? A real warhammer would be much smaller.

[Sargos]

It’s not a hammer, It’s a blunt hammer-shaped spear ;))
lol, should probably write that in the descripion.
