What's your Praetor model - FW or kitbashed?

Just rembered that, while I don't have a XXth legion Praetor, I did put this guy together a few months back when on a bit of a Roman stint (spent a weekend watching movies like Centurion, Gladiator, and the Starr series Spartacus), with the intention of starting a small warband of World Eaters:

I'm thinking I may finish him off and paint him up, and as I have a load of mark III doing nothing may make a little shield wall for him to fight amongst (and knowing the nails, disregard). Can't decide if the axe is to big though.

Darth, I thinks its because I haven't been particularly enamoured with the WE range from FW. However, I quite like the Red Butchers so I may invest a bit.

Its a bit bent due to the way he was stored for the last few months (in a box). If I keep it I will wrap some chains around his hand.

Same regarding the WE's, dislike the models, like the idea... Reavers look far better imho, and have really thrown me towards them, shame the WE models weren't as nice!

Ah yes, try wielding that axe with the shield of a wall size, it's definitely too long in the handle smile.png

My recommendation (others may vary) is to do it no longer than the length of that vambrace below the base of the hand holding it, so it goes no further than to his elbow. Giving him enough movement without interfering with his gear and armour. Hope that helps!

Edit: yep, chains would also assist in making it look a little shorter even when it's not, will add a nice something to it... I do really like the pose btw, you could give him a few mindful thoughts when standing like that!

Why is there an mechanical arachnid Xenos on you iron father's shoulder, brother Max Power? tongue.png

Brother BassWave, Iron Father Konstantin would like to have a one on one meeting with you down the hall to put your fears to rest. Just make sure you shut the door behind you.
