CHainy-fist close-combat weapon

Hey guys, the reason for this 'conversion' (compared to some of the ones i have seen on here it doesn't really stack up) was that i rewrote my army list and my tactical sarge no longer has a power fist. SO to avoid confusion in games, i decided id try my hand again at greenstuff (you never know, 7th time lucky??)

even though im convinced that an sm hitting you with a big metal glove will kill you, power field or not...

 

So the original, standard power fist armed sargeant, think its the powerfist from the DA command sprue, minus the symbol which was filed off

And the finished product, which now is being painted:

the eagley thing is again from a commnd sprue, and the purity seals are just to cover up the box of green stuff i used

 

c&c welcome

It's a good idea, but from what I can make out on the pictures, the green stuff is just a blob without shape. I personnally try to avoid using GS if I can do its job with bits, and your conversion would be a good example for that.

 

It may look better if you just clip a bit of the fist off and glue the chainswords and decoration directly on.

 

Just my try at a constructive comment...

Yeah, i thought about that to begin with, but i needed a case for it, as it looked kinda odd, especially the end of the swords where i cut them off.

the green suff was partially to hide that and it added to depth to it, almost like the casing on the termi chainfist.

Okay, here is the painted article, its pretty much done, not sure what else i can do to it, painted in the way shown by metcalfedan in viva metallica, as it means that even a clumsy oaf like me can paint a model which looks alright

 

yes, most of the ics were taken on my knee...
