averykess Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 So when I saw the new Blood Angel chaplain and those wings here, I knew I had to get one and mod it up for my Raven Guard army. I replaced the Inferno Pistol with a snazzy Bolt Pistol and did my quick and dirty true-scaling (all my Ravens are up-scaled). I removed all the BA iconography and added some brass-etch from FW and green stuffed over the exposed muscles. The heresy bumps on the leg are 2mm glass beads, the heresy shoulder is FW as well. It still needs a bit of cleanup before paint, and I am not sure I like the head (it is not glued yet)Here is the result:But then I saw something totally awesome on Forge World's site here, and found the bit on eBay. So now he looks like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffTibbetts Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Wow. I wasn't feeling the BA wings, but then you kicked it up a notch. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Impressive work. A pity no raven skull masks are available to differentiate the Raven Guard Chaplain from one from any other Codex Chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The boater Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That backpack works shockingly well with that chaplain body Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Oh man, that's a really cool conversion. Nice to see you gave him the RG wings instead of those awful wings the mini originally comes with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nice conversion though I'm not sold on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the head is kinda meh. Unfortunately the winged collar interferes with beakie helmets and I am not a fan of marines without helmets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Impressive work. A pity no raven skull masks are available to differentiate the Raven Guard Chaplain from one from any other Codex Chapter.I swear there used to be a skeletal Corvus helm on that RG upgrade kit (the non-HH one) Forge World sells, but it seems to have disappeared. Can anyone else confirm this or am I going crazy? Aside from that, I remember theres a skele-crow helm in the Legion of the Damned squad: http://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99810101080_DamnedLegionaires2NEW01.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just gave me a really cool vision of some sort of plague doctor version of the skull head. Worth a google sometime if you're not familiar with the way they look.

With the right paint job, it looks quite skeletal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaplain Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 @The_Chaplain: Really? Is that true for all the Damned Legionnaire models? the majority of heads are fused to the torso in the legion of the damned boxes. The beaky skull being a rare exception.
