BrainFireBob Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Trying to decide how to use this guy. I have 3 significant CSM armies. Black Legion, Iron Warriors, Night Lords. I have an unpainted Vrosh originally slated to be a Chosen champion. I also have a nicely painted old pewter axe lord who can inherit a combimelta from the pewter powerfist lord. I'm considering using him as either a BL Master of Executions or a Night Lords or Iron Warriors Exalted Champion What are you all intending?

BitsHammer Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'm going to probably mostly use him as a Master of Executions for my Night Lords. I think with the right head option he'll look nice and menacing and I the trophy rack doesn't look bad for a Night Lords model, especially if I add a bit more heads too it.

BrainFireBob Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Going with the big axe or a chainglaive? Edit: Didn't care for him at the reveal, bare head didn't do it for me.

Edit: Didn't care for him at the reveal, bare head didn't do it for me. Growing on me as a Chaos character Going big axe. I gave the other Praetor a chainglaive, though when I get around to my second box I'll considering mixing it up. Saw a nice conversion where they use the other Praetor for a model with Legion Standard. Still haven't decided how I want to sort the second axe model just yet, but I'll worry about that when I get one.

GreaterChickenofTzeentch Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'd say Night Lords Master of Executions. Add some more bony bits and then give him the head from a Primaris Chaplain. Since he's big and chunky, the Stormbolt Plate might be a good relic.

Surreal Cruelty Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) The moment I saw that model, I was like, "hey, it's the Master of Executions! Pre 10k years in the Eye, of course." He even has a similar style trophy rack. He's just lost a lot of weight, perhaps should have worn his helmet more frequently...you know...these things happen in the Eye. Honestly, I love that model. If I was willing to spend more money on GW models right now, I would pick up a box just to get that guy, along with the Spartan and the Contemptor. As it is, I have enough stuff from GW that I still haven't painted or in some cases assembled. I am also currently not particularly inclined to get more until the World Eaters actually get their codex.

Xenith Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Working on this myself - he does look to Chaosy to be a loyalist, or indeed anything in HH, I was maything thinking of an esoterist there. The axe head could get replaced with a hammer possibly.

BitsHammer Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 So I didn't go nuts just added a couple more heads, clipped the wings off the top skull (and I'll just paint them in bone) and gave him Sevatar's helmet and I think it's looking properly menacing with that axe. I think he'll work as a Praetor with a Headsman's Axe in 30k and a Master of Executions in 40k.
