Thanks @W.A.Rorie @Firedrake Cordova. The beauty of an extensive bits box and ebay.

 

I'm debating whether to sculpt the parapet strip from the company heraldry on the right shoulder pad or paint it on.

IMHO the amount of detail that is on him, if the company heraldry was painted it would look off.  If he was a rank and file trooper yes paint. He's "Ragnar" so it should be sculpted.

Ah... when you put it that way, sculpting it is.

AND POSSESSED OF DEEP POCKETS

 

Kind words @SvenIronhand thank you. This one is surprisingly cheap and has probably cost somewhere between what you'd pay for Ragnar or Helbrecht direct from GW. Some of the other things I've made can be argued as being less than fiscally responsible :laugh:

 

Minor update. I tried to sculpt first and then attach once cured but it kept curving the wrong way on the shoulder, so I gave direct sculpting a go. Might trim the parapets in height once it's cured a bit more. Also ran out of purity seals so I'm giving sculpting them a go too. Ignore the missing sword, it snapped off again. Going to pin it this time.

Calling him finished from a sculpting standpoint, now to try and paint him.

 

Added a couple more purity seals and also added the company heraldry to the right shin since I couldn't fit a tilt shield on the shoulders without it looking wrong.

Thanks as always for the kind words.

 

Pretty much finished Proxy Ragnar 2.0, just sorting his base now so here he is sporting a temporary one for photos.

And also some tests on adding the Company heraldry to the left legs on non-HQ marines. Undecided on whether I'll go ahead with this idea on all models.
