Crimson Lily Standard Bearer

Well, this turned out 100x better than I could have hoped. It may be interesting to note that, other than a few simple head swaps, this is the only conversion I did in the entire squad. Luckily, one of the arms with a storm bolter was positioned perfectly so that all I had to do was move it out away from the body to make room for the banner. Speaking of the banner, I once again constructed it out of an empty toothpaste tube. Please note that the image on the standard is not of my own design. A Google search for "Bouguereau" should give you the original image. All I really did was sketch it onto the banner and then paint it as close to the original as possible. This may lower your opinion of the piece, but I feel it is necessary to give credit where credit is due.

I saw the rest of this squad and a diorama with you holding a slayer sword in the white dwarf a long time ago and they have always been vivid in my mind. I love these terminators and how well you painted these. I've looked close and far at this unit countless times to try and learn a little of what makes your brush move so beautifully not to mention the banner! if you ever did a tutorial it would be a blessing to the mini painting comunity.

great work, but one thing is eating my mind - if ye called them crimson lily... somethig (sorry, don't have head for names) i would've expected lily sign instead of cross... but that's just a silly little detail :)
