Happy New Year all, thought I'd start the year with a long overdue miniature which I've had as a WIP for sometime. Nothing like a factory line of 4 drop pods to get you distracted by something less boring... may I present you all - Marneus Relicgar, God Of War, Eternal Warrior and a whole big can of whoop-ass.
I converted the Mareus Calgar model slightly to undo all the Ultramarine goodies, skulls were added to the leather straps hanging from the waist, a big 'U' shield was substituted for a spare Skull and Crossbones one on his right pauldron, the Ultramarine symbol on his right gauntlet was filed off and a terminator crux added instead. The 'U' inside the Iron Halo was substituted for a grimacing skull. Only the belt buckle remained,but I just painted the surround gold as well to mask the upper edge.
I used a spare MKIII helmet to further differ him from normal Marneus' minis. I think it works well in Grey. The green power cables and the bone colour weapons echo those throughout the rest of my force.
Finally a nice purple leaf pattern was added to the edge of the cloak to add some interest. Hope you like.

Nicely done! I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteLooks brilliant. The change to the Mk III helmet works fantastically.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! That helmet does work very well there.
ReplyDeleteCheers guys, had his first battle this evening, he is awesome - shame his Orbi didn't get on target tho.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Its amazing the difference a head swap can make!
ReplyDeleteReally nice conversion work! Great paint job, and the leaf trim on the cape really makes it pop.
ReplyDeletere-directed from From The Warp, i somehow missed this popping up on my blog-roll. what a difference a simple head-swap can make, he looks infinitely better now (and makes a lot more sense, i hate space marines with their helmets off!)
ReplyDeletegreat paint job too.
Cheers All, He's doing well so far in his battles - it's the Iron Armour helmet, not my generalship!
