GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Anyone else think the DV commander would look great as an EC Praetor with paragon blade if you swapped the head and filed off the DA iconography? http://tarvick.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/m2540241a_60010199006_DVCompanyMaster_873x627.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269088-alternate-praetor-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGPO Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think the robes are a bit much for any 30k legion other than DA. Astartes of that era were much mre functional, and every legionhad it's own style. If anything I'd say Blood Angels bits were better suited.

Valkyrion Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 MKIV captain from FW, or the guy with the helmet plume from the Rapier set make good models, IMO.

Cmdr Shepard Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm looking for an alternate Praetor model too. I already ordered the MK4 Captain from FW but since I like to have a Praetor for every Legion Army I plan to build I'd like to not buy the same model over and over again ( I could use the same model but I'd like to paint it... at least that's the plan :P ) I'm also looking for a jump pack equiped Praetor to put in a SoH 20 men assault squad and maximize the effectiveness of Merciless Fighters ;) Personally I don't like the DV Comapany Master for that role. I'm not a huge fan of the Dark Angel tunic style. Sadly this means I will not use the DA company masters from the 3 DV I bought :D In my search for an alternate Praetor model I looked at the entire GW HQ line for SM but I didn't find a model with the right "badass look" I want for a Legion Praetor ( a part from the FW MK4 Captain who is very good) I think I wasn't very helpful...but I have the same problem in finding alternate Praetor models...

Jim AMM realgenius Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I like everything but the legs/robes. The cape is very similar to the FW HQs, but I think the robes are too much. Otherwise it is great, even for a Legion Champion.

Otherwise it is great, even for a Legion Champion. Legs/robs are what I don't like in this model. I could try to find a place for the mini in some of my future Legiones Astartes projects. Currently I don't see it fitting with the style of the Legions from Betrayal. Blood Angels decorated armours would be good for EC but I don't see a role for DA minis, yet.

DuskRaider Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I actually made my Death Guard Praetor using one of the Cataphractii models. I gave him one of the Puppet War Daemon Broadswords, cut off some of the horns, and now use it as a Master-Crafted Paragon Blade.

The good news is they can have any sort of look; so we don't have the limits we have when it comes to power weapons. :huh: I'd really like to see your Praetor, it sounds a very nice conversion.

DuskRaider Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I really need to start a new WIP Log for both my Pre-and Post- Heresy Death Guard. I'll try and get pics up tonight, if I can.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hey dusk raider, I'd love to see it too! I actually like the company master blade as a paragon blade.
