nurglespuss Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 OK I finished stripping my ebay dante (and his incredibly thivk layers of colour schemes!) and unfortunately, his face was badly smooshed :( However! not to be dismayed (and as my drop pod/rhino still havent arrived :( ) I converted him into a chaplain :) What do you think? I think he looks pretty creepy really! - now deciding on colour scheme. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0403.jpg Replaced face with skull and tried to remodel wreath. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0404.jpg He was also missing his pistol arm, so replace it with plastic, and a suitable shield. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0405.jpg Sawed out shoulder and replace with a skull pad filling in the gaps. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0406.jpg Had this knocking around since celestine first came out lol. I'm tempted to paint him in my favourite Chaplain scheme: http://www.btinternet.com/~bobby.basnett/Images/CHAPLAIN.gif What do you think?

Kierdale Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Very impressive work! Can't persuade you to go for the old silver-chaplain look from the RT Compilation?

nurglespuss Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 THank you :)! I've got that niggling away at the back of my head ;) only problem would be is that it would have to be NMM, as I've got no metallics in the rest of the army so far... hmmmm Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252660-dante-to-chaplain-conversion-finished-pics/#findComment-3065848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 Updates: So getting there, next step, red crozius handle/red 'X's (one on shoulder skull, one somewhere else...), possibly a blood drop on the skull on the shield? Then all the little pouches etc. http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0461.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0459.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/IMAG0457.jpg Then its on to the cloak, which I'm painting red, but am undecided as to which look to go for... These are of interest: 123 Any ideas/feed back appreciated! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252660-dante-to-chaplain-conversion-finished-pics/#findComment-3068596 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbabyjesus Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 that cloak is pretty stellar, I'm also on board with the new layers, tried Xereus Purple last night over Naggaroth Night, and hells yes it works like a dream.

Lestat Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 That is a simply stunning conversion and paintjob! The contrast between the black armour and the rich, vibrant reds is superb.

Phoros Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Mmm... Very nicely painted, but I'm not a fan of the head - that was intended to be a human skull, not a helmet! You've done a good job of it, though.

You've done a good job of it, though. Huh? That's just a face plate. You can clearly see the back of his head encased in black ceramite.
