I've been thinking about that as well, what if I swap out the head for the same one that Hashec currently has in terminator armor? It would probably help the continuity of the character while still looking badass. My plan had been to paint the face inside the helmet like bone as if he was a walking corpse that shouldn't be, but I can also see the value of preserving the essence of the original. Also as much as I love terminator Hashec, it gets depressing seeing a model I spent months perfecting get gunned down every. single. game. Force weapons, meltaguns, missile launchers, lascannons, powerfists... Everyone I game with is so scared of him that he never gets to be his badass self and I hate that with a vengeance. I could really care less if the claws get wiped out, the weapons teams get murdered and even the Atramentar get blown to bits (sorry everyone, but YOU chose to be part of the 15th, no one said it'd be easy street ) but I just want my chaos lord to be that one indomitable character you see in the fluff. A towering menace thats harder to kill than a T-1000. Maybe its my curse for trying to make the tabeltop live up to my fluff expectations, but hey I don't think most of us would play chaos if it weren't for that hopeless line of thinking. In the novels (the good ones anyway) we are absolute badasses, we model our armies thinking that, and go to the table with that mindset as well. Unfortunately thats where GW has it's revenge and all of our awesome-ness gets crumpled up like paper and we die in droves. Hence why I rebuilt him better, faster, and stronger. His first demo game he killed three squads of Doom Eagles, THREE. Two assault and one tactical. That is more than Hashec has done in his entire freaking life on the tabletop. I love generating that fear on the tabletop, not to where people don't want to face me, but to where you take a build that isn't optimized for competitive play (no heldrakes, no plague marines, no demon allies) and still give them a horrendous thrashing that makes them go, "wait, isn't chaos supposed to be a weak codex?" No matter how much they emasculate our armies, I refuse to just bend over and take it, I'm bringing fear back brother, and it rides a midnight horse made of steel. hallelujah.....
