I say turned, but don\'t do the severed head thing. I think it\'s a noob thing to put blood on weapons and body parts on bases. That\'s just not how a fight goes.
Remember, that\'s a power weapon and it\'s alive with energy. It wouldn\'t have blood on it because it would burn off. There wouldn\'t be a severed head because you don\'t cut off your enemies head then just stand there over it looking all regal. You\'d kill him and move on to the next enemy. If he was the only one or there was a duel you wouldn\'t be in your parade uniform as this commander clearly is.
I say, go sans gore.
Oh, and paint the head separate from the body and glue them together dead last.
EDIT: I just stripped 25 metal IG in 4 hours with Castrol Superclean. Try it. It\'s purple, doesn\'t smell funny, and strips like... you know...
