What/how do you like to kitbash Castellans?

[Helias_Tancred]

I know there is the Black Templar Castellan based on the classic Blanche artwork. Its great. But what if you don't want to use that? You'd prefer to kit bash your own? What Black Templar or other marine kits do you like for kit-bashing a Castellan? Also I'd love to see some of your own Castellans if they aren't already in this forum. Thanks.

Update: I picked up the actual Black Templars Castellan miniature, along with a Sword Brethren box, and I will kit-bash that miniature a little bit. Is it heresy to alter a classic Blanche artwork turned miniature?

Yes absolutely

 

Unless its a suitably epic conversion

I'm going to keep it fairly simple .... I will use a different helmet, and probably one of the shoulder pauldrons from the Sword Brethren box for his left shoulder, while leaving the leering skull one on his right.

Take the conversion route! Maybe consider swapping the axe for something else (but I'm not sure how difficult it is to do this)? That way you'd end up with an even more unique model.

Several pics of my kit-bashed Castellan, and one of my Marshal.

The head works pretty well. I think I even like it better than the 'original' helmet. However, the extent of the conversion is quite limited - I'd go more crazy if I were you ;)

Thanks. 

 

I felt limited by that model.
