Here is the conversion of my captain to count as khan. I'm still working on the cloak but I need the GS to harden before doing anymore.

Done a bit more to the cape but I found that when dry fitting the arm wasn't quite right so I've had to glue it on and use green stuff to fill in the gap. The other fits fine so I've left it off for painting.

I'm thinking about adding some heads and maybe a red corsair helmet to the base of the model.

Pretty nice. Are you thinking of buying the normal backpacks from GW and have him simply jumping through the air?
Lindargo,

An eagle headed one from the commander set. I chose that pose because I want him to be leading the charge as well as he'll be inside a land raider crusader so he looks cool leaping out to get stuck in.

Final pictures before painting, I've used blu-tack to attach the sword arm and back pack. I've added an iron halo, a chaos marine helmet to the base to be painted as a red corsair and a skull and pouch on his belt.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

You asked, here is a WIP shot. He's almost done though and still need to paint the base.

I'm going to paint the sword like the space hulk sargeant with lightning.

I love the dynamism this model shows in it's posing, and In what you have painted of it so far. I hope to see more soon!

As a side question, for what reason are you using him as the Khan? Now, I don't know my SM Special characters so well (I'm a chaos guy), but are khan's rules that special that he warrants being used without Moondrakken?

definitely like the pose on this guy. one question how do you paint the checkers and keep them straight? I have tried and they always vary in size.

Nice painting. :) I think the head could do with being a bit brighter, though--as the rest of the model is quite bright, a dark head will not attract attention so much. The yellow and the checks are good, though!

The reason I'm using Khan is because he allows all dedicated transport to have the outflanking rule. This combined with a terminator assault squad in a land raider crusader makes a nasty combo. But not only that but the unit he is with also get furious charge and hit and run. Now I have terminators assaulting at I5 S5 with lightning claws and my Captain at I6 S5(he gets FC and HaR too). Moondrakken is just an expencive bike that makes Khan T5, have fleet and allow squads of 5 bikers count as troops which is cool but I'm not playing a bike army at the moment.

Its really just practice. When you have to do it for a ten man tactical squad and have 3 squads to paint you get the hang of it. I start with the middle column usually and then work out. I think the biggest problem is that it is hard to paint on a curve like a shoulder pad and still make it look even.

Alomst done now, I just need to finish of the base and add the blood stains on his feet so he matches the other marines I've already done.

Awesome paint job and conversion there!

I'm really glad that the Bell of Lost Souls gets people excited about the SM chapters that aren't usually thought of. The Lamenters have some really great history and traits.

Keep it up!

Looking great! Did you get the scheme from BOLS in the first place?

GreyHunter

I've always like the Lamenters because of the fluff and how they are quite a mysterious chapter. But I do admit that originally I was going to paint Imperial Fists but was swayed by the fantastic Lamenters stuff on BOLS and the badab codex.

Wonderful stuff, you are a credit to the chapter. Drop me a line when you get more of the army done, I'd love to see it! :D
