Adra'Melek Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think I might steal your idea for my Legion Champion. Jump pack, master crafted lightning claws and Volkite charger. Leading one of the Night Lord terror squads (whatever they are, if they can take jump packs).

Daemon2027 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sounds really cool. I so know that the next book is going to tempt me to the dark side of the night lords.

Adra'Melek Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I what to do a loyalist night lord army. Either that or an early one before Nostramo goes to the toilet. We'll see.

Adra'Melek Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Which legion are you doing/planning? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278630-praetor-with-lightening-claws/page/2/#findComment-3428470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was tempted to do Terran night lords set after the Thramas crusade. The idea was they saw themselves as outcasts from both the loyalists, traitors, and even their own Legion. Â But in the end I decided to go back to my first love, the Raven Guard. I have a lot of RG bits and several unpainted models that I convert to theme. They will be set pre Deliverance Lost so no mark VI which should distinguish them from a 40k RG army. Plus I want to have differences between the Terran veterans and younger Deliverance marines. Here's a wip of my Praetor: Â http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3759/9545235883_d9ca2a92e9.jpg I have slightly changed the pose though so he's more leaping forward with the left arm out stretched a bit more.

Emperors Teeth Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 You could equip + model your Praetor, and mount the Volkite servo skull from this guy on it... Then it'd make visual sense.Don't ask me how you'll get a spare one of those lol. I'm just the idea's guy.<edit> @Demon2027 - That model is ace!

blackoption Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I would be more of a fan the wrist mounted over the servo skull mounted. Servo skulls are more of an admech aspect while wrist mounting weapons have been an Astartes thing for a while now. But that is just my two cents.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Demon that's a cracking model! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278630-praetor-with-lightening-claws/page/2/#findComment-3429340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Indeed. Finding a spot for a gun won't be easy on that model, but the volkites are kind of thin, maybe do a curved cut that allows you to glue it under the fist - meh, you certainly don't need any advice for converting. Awesome work. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278630-praetor-with-lightening-claws/page/2/#findComment-3429354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Thanks everyone. When I started him I wasn't sure if the pose would work. I initially kept the helmet crest and he looked so much like a Blood Angel I started to look up recipes for red :). If I do add Volkite or a combi-weapon I think the best place would be on the centre two power cables. I might just use the end of a plasma gun, hollow it out then sculpt the rest of it if I go with the volkite.
