hey CMON...

here is my latest job...

http://coolminiornot.com/254853

painted to my basic commission standard, with the basic conversion/sculpting option added...
i threw in the freehand for free, because this guy would not have looked right without it...

the Chapter is called The Heralds of Light, a creation of one of the guys over on the Bolter & Chainsword...
the icon on the right knee is the Chapter symbol, while the sculpted flaming tower on the shield and shoulder are the Company symbol...

this was a fun little conversion, since i rarely ever take a fantasy piece and put it on a 40k mini...
i chopped the chainsword off of the bionic arm, and added an empire shield...
the power coils on the inside are sculpted, as are the two tower symbols...
the sword is taken from the BA Sanguinary Guard...

it took a while to work out how to paint the white, as i usually work up over browns instead of greys...
in the end, after a royal pain with the photography, i got a close approximation of how he looks in hand...
i went for quite a strong comicbook look to this guy...
not very subtle, but quite striking.

hope you like him...

thanks for looking...

cheers
jah

Awesome! I really love the color scheme, and the paint job is really smooth. Don't really know anything about what the original figure was so I can't comment on the conversion other than to say nothing looks out of place, nice job!

The blues pop out very nicely and that freehand makes me drool!

Oops, I guess the drool is normal....

Great work sir!

Love the paint job, though is it me or does the left arm seem a little long? Might just be the pic but either or rocking mode.

Indeed, very nice paint job. I agree with Empchild in that the bionic arm looks a little longer than the normal one but hey, it's bionic right? Also, nice work on the logo.

Nice and clean. I think the highlighting blue is a bit too sharp but it looks really nice if I squint my eyes just a little bit, one or two glazes of paint on the transition would probably do.
