What's your Praetor model - FW or kitbashed?

Next to him is how he looks after 10,000 years



A bit of both, I used a weapon from the MKIV power weapons set. The rest is blatantly the FW model

Wow! Just wow!

With my praetor I wanted a sense of command and experience (The pteruges, skulls and green stuffed symbols on right shoulder pad and left arm, and the helmet plume), but not an overwhelming amount of bling, so I went for regular Mk III armour and weapons from the MkIII weapons set. I will add an etched brass Iron Warriors symbol to the empty shoulder pad when it is finally released.

Some tasty models and paint jobs, keep em coming, they are all extremely inspirational* :)    (*word taken from someone elses' use earlier, very apt though!)

 

The Nephilim, one of the reasons I created this thread was because of the current FW's praetor models.  It is obvious they made them unique, apart from the normal marks of armour, and with added quality and style all of their own for a centre piece, bulking them out more so than your basic marine.  Indeed, I do hope they bring out more models for praetors, but that would mean a hit on the wallet, so I can forgo that for a bit ;)

 

I was concerned that any other model would just not come up to scratch compared to their slightly bulkier looking unique models.  People here are proving me very wrong, and as always, it's about what you want and enjoy creating at the end of the day!

I'm not opposed to cutting a MkIV suit up and reposing him, I'm just wondering on how I'd use greenstuff and make the armor look like quality artificer armor. Maybe make some greenstuff molds of some of the Palatine Blades chest piece embellishments and go crazy from there.

Consider that stolen KBA. That's a great pose and kitbash

 

Go for it brother! And thanks :)

Not a cheap option, but Loken's armor is a pretty nice looking suit for Mk IV.

KBA, your Raven Guard make me feel funny in my no-no spot. Love the pose.

I aim to please, brother! hahah

@KBA: I think there's too much going on with Loken's model to be redone. I'd much rather start with a clean suit if MkIV and figure out my own embellishments.

I hear that. I cut the crap out of him and yet the original feel of the model remains thanks to those legs.

That would've been a good Khârn biggrin.png

Someone needs to use that Sternguard crest on a MK VII lid!

Well ive run out of likes for the day thanks to this thread... :D

Most of My Alpha Legion "Praetors" are kitbashed out of various Kits mixed in with the Red Scorpions bits, ive built a few more since but heres a group shot of some of my captains+ Left to Right: An Imperial Army Captain ive forgotten the name of! Built from a starter set Tactical Sergeant with weapon/arm swap and a resculpted chest, The Original Captain Noserenda often mistaken for Thias Herzog ;) Is Command Squad, Red Scorpion mashup ;) Ingo Pech wearing a lot more bling than usual is a starter set captain with some weapon upgrading and a Red Scorpion head and the Latter day Commander Noserenda is a bunch of random metals from my bits box.

Red Scorpion's Chief librarian Sevrin Loth's Honour Guard:

Ooh did I miss a thread, is it possible for a link please?  There is so much in the Work in Progress section that I'm constantly in there viewing threads and never knowing where I've gotten to.

 

This thread's beginning to take on its own place and provide a wonderful one stop place for these awesome and awe inspiring models :)

 

Thank you all once again, please keep on posting!
