Looking good :)

[musical-fool]

So much win. I like and will probably copy this!

[PaD]

Really, really cool. Love it. And yeah, I'll probably copy it too! :)

[Darren Richardson]

wow that's a great chappy, I envy your friend to get a present of that calibire!

[Patrick Boyle]

Very cool. The only thing I might have done differently, modeling wise, would have been taking the grip of the sword out too, leaving just the hand resting on the aquila crossguard. That way the aquila makes for a good pommel/counter-weight on the staff, and you don't have the awkwardness of the slightly misaligned angle between them, and changing of the texture on the grip.

That said though, very well done, the pose is cool and the paintjob is great.

WHERE is the head from?!? This is f*cking righteous.

[WilliamT]

Thanks for all the comments guys! If you do make the conversion, please share it with my page on Facebook! I'd love to see other peoples work and be more involved in the community! You can also always ask questions on the page which goes straight to my phone!

Patrick, couldn't agree more! I was torn on the design decision and once I started painting wished I had removed the hilt but didn't want to risk losing the piece to replace it. You live and you learn right? :)

Gideon the head was taken from the chaos space marine box with the arrow removed and green stuff used to smooth it out a bit.

[Steven Palmer]

Truly amazing job :D really like it :)

[gideon_lorr]

Excellent - I have that box, but I never knew that bit was in there. Total score... Gotta get to work!

[dirkspair]

Very characterful conversion, very awesome paint job. kudos.

[WilliamT]

Thanks guys! I also finished another Dark Angel recently as well! This one was a custom built Techmarine for a local player painted to Table Top standard. Figured I'd add him in as well.
Hope you guys enjoy him as much as the chaplain!

Very nice, good use of the Tartaros kit, and an impressive tabletop standard! Like the idea of using a Power Fist to represent the Servo-arm, I've never been that crazy about the shoulder cranes.

[WilliamT]

Thanks! The servo harness' are just so bulky and frustrating. I used a small servo arm to help with the visuals but the fist I thought would be a good WYSIWYG alternative and what Techmarine is complete without an axe/halberd! lol
