IronKobra Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I am still in the middle of my other projects. But when the light dies and I have to stop painting I have had to start some converions on some Sang Priests, so when I come to play, I wont be short of these very useful guys! First off I have started with Corbulo, of course...He's the daddy! I havent dont much to him, he is a nice sculpt, has the grail, whole wrathful face thing...However...He has a regular plain shoulder pad on the left, so I had to cut this off and replace it with one of the new fancy DC Pads. Also the new kits have so much bling, I couldnt not add something else, so I added a tabbard under his belt. I'm surprised how much this one bit beefs up the model! http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/DSC00595.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/DSC00597.jpg And I am also doing a JP Priest. This was really just a case of cutting off the tubes and pipes from the apothercary plastic torso and sticking them to an assault marine torso. Added to some new DC legs he looks suitably 'Holy'. I have the suitable apaothecary left arm and need to decide on a weapon for the right. Probably a DC Power sword. And Tempted by one of the Sang Guard jump packs after seeing an awesome one on here. http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/DSC00592.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 So while I haven't put brush to model just yet I have been building up some Sang Priests. some simple conversions and kit bashing it all really from pretty regular parts. I have opted for the winged Sang Guard jump packs. I know there is a love/hate kinda split on them, but frankly I like 'em. I have also used magnets for the 1st time on these guys so I can swap the regular chainsword for a power weapon. I decided to magnetise just the hand holding the weapon to minimise extra painting. Better just a habd and a weapon than a whole arm. Here they are: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS1.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS2.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS3.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS4.jpg And here is his magnetised chainsword hand: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS5.jpg And a guy on a more adventurous base: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS6.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS7.jpg Again magnetised chainsword: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS8.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS9.jpg All together: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab36/IronKobra84/SPS10.jpg I have a running theme going in the shoulder pads with the grails and am using the apothercary arms and I'll carry this on with a couple of foot sloggers.

JamesI Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Looking good so far. How much work was it to remove the metal shoulderpad from Corbulo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Looking good so far. How much work was it to remove the metal shoulderpad from Corbulo? All honestly...Lots of work!The pose of him and it all being one piece made it a bit of a struggle. You can probably see some of his chest and hair got a bit of a shaving too in the process.

Cstriker01 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Looks great. As I go to build mine, the only question I have is what kit gives the plastic apothecary pieces? Is it only the SM command squad set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
