Hmmm. well, he's got a mini chainblade on his right arm. That seems suitable. ^_^

What for terminator armour?

Seriously I prefer that sword of your three choices.

[Psychosplodge]

Have you got the company champion helmet? Would that work with the sanguinary priest?

[Meph]

Again nice work on those tanks.
You got me inspired to pimp my angels!
Thanks!

Cheers! Inspiration is always the best praise. you humble me, good sir.

I think for termy armour, he'll need a melta-cutter. The chainsword is actually just to show the original arm. The plan is to use him with the assault squad so there are already chainswords a plenty. I thougt a power weapon would nicely complement the rest of the meat grinders and the sarge's power fist. ANd, it'll give him a different look that the stock model.

Sadly, no. I was kinda hoping for that because I have a few variant heads of that 'knightly' champion head. Not even all MkVII heads fit, the ones that have some fatter sideburn-pipes are just that itty bitty too wide for the helmet to turn. It's only a select few MkVII heads than can fit in that collar, and even then it's pretty tight.

Cammo land raider, love it.

I tell you what might work, these babies

I've used some on my Marines and they are slimmer then most Marine helmets.

[Meph]

Hehehe, I actually have those as well. But I overlooked them, good idea. I'll see how they look on that priest.

Love the subtle weathering on those tanks. Learning how to do that is high on my to-do list.

[Meph]

Cheers, mate. Don't hesitate to poke my brain.

Still not much time to devote to painting during the week but I manage to sneak in a few minutes at a time here and there.
The Land Raider has received some sponge weathering, some brush touch-ups on the hull chipping and battle damage. And the model's received a varnish coat, oil wash, and varnish coat again. Hence the shininess.
And I finally managed to cobble something together to stick on the Company banner. With those large, self-printed decals being hard to handle, I deliberately left some reserve space on the top. I didn't want to risk too much with those wrinkles but the decal actually settled itself quite nicely without too much effort.

With applying these large decals, you have to apply them smooth and fast, and very accurately. Having to reposition them risks breaking up the print as the tiniest stretching will crack and flake the non-flexible print. As you can see with the top-right corner... Luckily it was just plain red there. So now I just have to paint up the rest of the banner and blend in the decal.

I wish I had time to paint...............

[Meph]

Well, halve the amount of rivets on your builds and you've got a sea of time. ^_^
