Hi there smile.png:

the four counterparts? Well, I intend to make space marine scale: Emperor, Malcador and Head of Custodian Guard (with options on Chief Navigator and Astropath - but don't want it to look too cluttered).

The representations for the missing legions, I know exactly what I'm doing for those, and they will appear soon smile.png

For now, here is the latest pic of Rogal Dorn, as a note I was inspired by this fan artwork, and wanted an almost 'comic book' style of model, to go with the older style of painting for the marines. It was a challenge, as the base abaddon model was extremely beat up! But please let me know what you think biggrin.png

There's a bit more left to do, and of course the base tongue.png

(and a very brief explanation of some of his quirky aspects - the leg decorations are in fact stone fascias from buildings Dorn was forced to destroy on Luscia toward the end of the its pacification, his chest decoration was crafted in honour of Sanguinious, who took a disabling wound to one of his mighty pinions while saving Dorn from a charging mass of Ambull during the Subaton cavern war. His back is adorned with 2 items, his personal teleport translocator - that allows him to personally coordinate teleportation strikes by Fist terminators and, the Shield Aquilla - essentially a micro void shield generator that prevents Dorn from all but the most serious teleportation mishap). Just a bit of character mad up for myself ;p

Well, I wanted an 'Emperor' for my diorama, I um'd and Ah'd and decided to keep the 2nd ed theme going, using an old grey knight, with minimal conversion, but traditional armament, I'm not expecting huge kudos, but I do think its a simple, neat conversion that will paint up well :) - and as the Emperor (and seemingly the primarchs) can pretty much 'appear' to be any size they wish (in the Heresy novels) I don't mind him being small!

Exactly, I never imagined him (personally) as hugely physically intimidating, anyway here is a quick update of the armour painting early stage:

And, finally, thats the gold done I think... I'm never that confident with metallics, its a yellow gold, but I think it works, now I just have to decide how to paint the rest of him! (LOL this not having much time to paint, weirdly, makes you take your time ;p )

Here's Daddy! ;p

 

This will do for my purposes. I don't have the skills to paint convincing flame (never really tried it before), but, its passable for my little display.

 

I like the sword through book iconography, and envisage it representing the Emperor destroying old Superstition and Belief in replace of the Imperial Truth....

 

Next step... Malcador.
