Just one small note. If my memory serves me correctly, The double headed eagle (lkike the one in the greave) pre-heresy was only worn by Emperor's children, since they had taht privilege and no-one else. perhaps a fluff buff can clarify this matter. ;)

Great conversion job, in particular I like the greaves, however there are a few things I think don't look quite right yet. Firstly, the collar armour isn't a smooth curve, it has a sort of bend in the middle that looks un-natural. Also, the laural wreath on the left shoulderpad doesn't look quite right (imho) as the leaves point straight out to the sides (rather than at a 45 degree angle up the way, if that makes sense) and the ends of the branches are lacking leaves for a substantial portion near the tips, just doesn't look quite right to me.

 

Obviously these are very nit-picky criticisms and normally I wouldn't be so critical, however, as you are entering GD I think that these changes would help improve your chances of placing for a trophy as it is usually such minor aesthetic details such as this that it comes down to when deciding between a number of great looking mini's.

 

All the best for GD and hope to see you place with what is shaping up to be a great mini!

 

Cheers,
