Yes as you can see I have started yet another project! which is a result of a good mate of mine getting his hands on a couple of sets of Dark Vengeance and not needing all the special characters.
So yesterday evening I tried my luck with converting this Dark Angel Chaplain Seraphicus into a more generic Chaplain that I could actually use for my Crimson Fists Army.
Here's some pictures of the result so far. The picture quiality isn't perfect and for that I'm sorry.
The figures from the Dark Vengeance set is simply stunning, and some of them almost make me wonder why GW even bother with resin and metal figures when they can make plastic figures this detailed :-)
It's a shame, well not a shame, but it could have been nice if the set hadn't been chapter specific (Dark Angels) but just plain figures so the user could choose his own Chapter to paint, but then again Dark Angels are pretty cool. Luckily it isn't impossible at all to fairly easily convert the figures into some other chapter, a sharp knife, some sand paper, some files and perhaps abit of green stuff and you're almost there already.
Finished! - 26.09.2012
So after having worked on this figure for about 2 days, I think I'm about ready to call it finished. It was great fun painting something different from blue marines for a change, I just wish I hadn't glued the two torso halves together before painting, since there was alot of hard to reach places, but overall I think this figure turned out allright.
Well here's what you came for :-)
Personally I'm quite happy with the result, I feel my attempt to remove most of the Dark Angels stuff was quite succesfull, maybe I should have gone with a transfer decal on his shoulder, but any chance to practice some green stuff should be taken :-)
Think next project will be painting my Cortez figure and then perhaps the 25th edition Space Marine afterwards, maybe I should soon start to paint some standard units and not only HQ :-D
If you have any questions or comments feel free to post them below.
