Tzen Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Every now and then I come across and old battered model from my youth that I want to try and rescue, and in this case it's Sergeant Centurious! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centwip1.jpg Some of the details have been really hammered away on this guy, mostly around the face and the skull he is holding (the Animum Malorium), but I do like trying to rescue an old model, especially a classic like this one.

Biohazard Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Easily one of my favourite models from back in the day. I’ve often looked for him on eBay but the prices I’ve seen him fetch are a little nuts. He looks great already and looking forward to where you go with him though :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351009-legion-of-the-damned-sergeant-centurius-and-friends-wip/#findComment-5185640 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks chaps, glad you all like! :D I took a few pics to see how well the blue flames and the rest of the paint job sit together. Quite happy with it! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centwip2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centwip3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centwip4.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351009-legion-of-the-damned-sergeant-centurius-and-friends-wip/#findComment-5185778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I might have either an RTB01 back pack or an early Mark VII one somewhere (as in, the original metal Mark VII whose torso came as two parts, with plastic arms). Possibly a plastic banner pole too. I'll have a look over the next few days. If I find them and you want them, let me know.

Sgt. Blank Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I probably have several 2nd ed plastic sergeant banner packs rattling around, maybe even new on sprue. You might also try a chaplain pack to keep with the skull theme.

Tzen Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Thanks chaps! Loads of great support here! :D I have managed to find a mk iv backpack from one of the heresy kits. It's a little bigger than the one it came with, but in much better condition. I am now in two minds about giving him a back banner. From an artistic point of view the banner allows for a lot of fun, but I hate back banners. They are such an impractical thing. :/ Decisions decisions... :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351009-legion-of-the-damned-sergeant-centurius-and-friends-wip/#findComment-5186073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'd say skip the banner. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351009-legion-of-the-damned-sergeant-centurius-and-friends-wip/#findComment-5186185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Whilst I like banners on HQs from an aesthetic point of view, in practicality, they suck :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351009-legion-of-the-damned-sergeant-centurius-and-friends-wip/#findComment-5186292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 So he is pretty much done. I am just finishing up his backpack. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centwip5.jpg I tried to make his face look a little more leathery and sunken. I spent a bit of time googling corpses, which was a jolly experience and I am sure someone in law enforcement is having a field day with my google history.

Tzen Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Thanks Bio! :D Well, my project to rescue this old model has been a nice little success. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centdone1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centdone2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centdone3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centdone4.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centdone5.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/centdone6.jpg There are parts of the model, such as the face and the skull he is holding, that lost a fair bit of detail in the process, but I think I have managed to fix them well enough. I must admit, I would love a squad of these guys to go alongside him!
