Company Champion Mini

[FallenLion]

I was flicking through the SM codex and in honor guard section there is the company champion - they look pretty awesome so I was planning on making an elite section for my fluffed Raven Guard/Black templars successors - no questions on that please I ent through with even thinking about it let alone starting minis - but I can't find them on the GW website they only in the honor guard box set

 

so my question is there any where were i can order individual minis - company champion minis -

also the helmet they have - what mk is it? and can I get that any where or will I have to convert both?

The company champion mini is actually from the plastic Command Squad Set. If you want just the pieces for the company champion you'll need his head bit, the torso bit, and the shoulder bits. You can grab legs and arms from the command squad set itself but those aren't strictly necessary unless they all need to have the same weapons loadout and pose.

 

The chapter champion(which is the guy with the 2 swords, not the sword and shield), is a metal mini only available in the metal honor guard set and s'far as i know there are no plastic kits with similar bits to what he has.

 

A bits store(battle wagon bits at www.thewarstore.com as one example) would be able to cut up the command squad kits for you but it could get pricey

so in other words there is no cheap way of getting this look :)

I meant command squad as well

you seem knowlagable so could help me out with this

 

is there any way of getting that look on a resonable price - say no more that £6-£8 a mini?

Black templar upgrade kit has a helm that looks similar(and some neato tabards also, to vary the one in the champion kit), as does the death company set, and I think the khorne berserker heads would look close if you cut off the horns. Maybe someone could point ya towards a uk bits shop? I don't have much knowledge of the uk mail order shops. Part of the problem with finding these kinda helmets is their often only one per sprue or set

 

How many of these guys are you thinking to make?

 

It might also be possible to shave down a beakie head and get a similar look, but that's a bit beyond my skill level.

 

For the shoulders, you could try molding a ridge on a regular shoulder pad, or maybe cutting down a teminator pad to fit on top of a regular size one.

 

these heads from max minis might also work for you http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main...;products_id=60
