Blank's Knights of the Order Progress Log *Updated*

*Disclaimer* Scrolling through the board a bit, I noticed someone else had this idea. HsojVvad, I apologize if this steals any thunder. *End Disclaimer*

 

So, with the release of AoS, the revealing of the Stormcast Eternals, and my just finishing Descent of Angels I have decided to convert the Stormcasts into Knights of Caliban. I just purchased the Starter Set and realized this is going to be a serious undertaking. THere is a lot of filing and scraping in my future to get rid of all of those hammers and lightning bolts.

 

Here's the first model. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with those scales... Maybe fill 'em in. What do you guys think?

Knights of Caliban rode horses, but the Conversion is nice!

Yeah, I know, but I thought the leader of the army being on a lion fit well. I'm also considering teraing the hooded head off and replacing it with a head with long hair to represent The Lion, himself...

EDIT: I updated the origninal post.

 

So, here's the progress I've made so far. I've built all of the models(12x Liberators w/ Hammer&Shield, 3x Retributors, 3x Prosecutors, Lord-Celestante on Dracolion, and Lord-Celestante on foot). Most don't have heads as I don't like the standard mask look, but the ones that are just weraing helmets have heads along with a couple others that I put DWK heads on. For example:

 

It's about 75% done. Still have a bit of layering to do and the base isn't even started.

What do you guys think?

He looks impressively massive! The fur on the lion looks very nice and the cloak highlights look well blended. The only critique I've got is the "Sigmar" banner on the lion's haunches. Maybe you could tell people it's an old Calibanite word or fill it in with Green Stuff, cover it with Abaddon Black, and then redo the banner.

Good work thumbsup.gif!

Yeah. I don't like that either. I tried to fill them with GS, but you could still see impressions, so i gave up and cleaned them out. However, they are for use in AoS, not 40k, so I figure they are still Sigmarites, just ones from a neighboring region of Caliban, haha!
In that case, as a suggestion, you might want to get a hold of a Chimera from the fantasy line and use it's eagle head. It might be too big, i'm not sure, but the bird head might be more fitting for a Ravenwing conversion. Could be a killer Sammael, though.
