Facelift

Way back in the dawn of time I kitbashed an Ultramarine Captain with Lightning Claws. I loved how he turned out but I was never happy with his claws as I was forced to use ones from the Assault Terminator kit.

See for your self

As you can see they are very disproportionate to his body. Far far to big and ungainly. Its played on my mind loe these many years and finally I decided to do something about it. I decided to get rid of the claws and give him the tried and true Storm Shield and relic blade combination. But what to use?

I eventually went with a Chaos Knight shield with the chaos icons filed off which made a good base for the shield.

His relic blade gave me more of an issue. I wanted it to look roman-esque but didnt want to use a spear. I eventually decided I wanted a gladius type blade. However there are no such weapons avaliable which sent me to the bits box for some inspiration.

I eventually used a fairly standard power sword arm with the blade cut off while still keeping the skull attached. I then cut down a high elf prince sword and cut a deep groove down the middle of the skull which I slotted the blade. I then shaved the power conduit off the old blade and attached it to the new one. The result....... well pretty damn awesome truth be told. Granted its longer than a real gladius would be but then its a relic blade that grants +2 strength so would need to be a bit bigger.

And there we have it. A simple arm swap breaths new life into an old model. I now cant wait to send him back onto the battlefield.

New Captain Agemman

In the past I have been using the LC Space Hulk Termie as my Captain Agemman (Counts as Belial) but it just never seemed right. I have now finished putting together and painting my version of him.

I used the Chaos Terminator Lord as a base and the proceeded to hack away the various chaos bits and replace it with other stuff. I have tried to pay homage to the DA's by incorperating a DA bit or two into the model.


What you can see represents my upper limits of Green Stuff-fu and I dont think I did too badly.

Once again a serious kitbash and kudos to whomever can identify all the relevant parts.

I am hoping that this will appease the 40K Gods and finally alllow my captain to actualy be able to hit and kill something (yeah, my current dude couldnt kill the broadside of a barn)

Ultramarine Captain

And here is the Captain that the new Command Squad will be attached too.

I have had him for about a year but have never had a decent looking squad to attach him too. That's changed now and I can see many a game where the lot of them slaughter the Enemies of Mankind
