Dark Apostle - looking for more ideas

[misterjustin]

I\'m starting in on a Dark Apostle conversion. I already have a score of ideas I\'m working from but would love some additional input.

I\'m building him in power armour.

Of course he has to have his crozious - he\'ll also have a bolt pistol in the off-hand.

Since I don\'t play, and I\'m not familiar with much of the rules, I would *love* some input on other bits to include on this guy.

Since I\'m not going to keep this guy (just want to play with some ideas) I\'d also love input on what players would want to see on one of these guys. Does he need a banner? Bits of dead people hanging from him? What to include?

I will also get shots up of what I have done so far as soon as I can.

Thanks in advance.

Hmm, my understanding of the word brearers is they literally cover themselves in text and words!

In the Horus trilogy of Novels the Word bearers chaplain even has some aincent demonic scroll tatooed all over his face!

I would go for tatty parchments and for a banner possibly an open book on a banner pole- there is a great metal one from the master of the ravenwing land speeder that can be component ordered, a plastic one in a mordheim sprue ans the good old trusty/troublesome (delete as applicable) Green stuff.

Good luck and be sure to keep us posted onprogress, this sounds fun and one I may have to try myself (I always gets inspired when I see peoples interpretations for characters that no models exist for!)

ditto. lots of text over the armour, maybe some scrolls and parchment. around the belt, maybe some \'religious\' artefacts. a trophy/hung book
