Chaplain in Terminator Armor (fail)...

This model looks way cooler in person.. for some reason the light is off in the these photos (IMO).. Anyways been quite here for a while, so thought i'd post something up...
Im currently working on 10 more Assault Terminators (photo's coming soon). Had some extra terminator bitz laying around, so thought i would try and build me a Chaplain.. I had a set of legs, the back part of the torso, the crozius arm, an extra storm shield, and a storm bolter arm... looking though my regular bitz box, i found a chest plate from Mark VIII armor and thought it would look alright as the front, just a little green stuff and some trimming and it actually doesn't look too bad...

for the life of me i still can not paint eye's... :(
anyhow,
the storm shield was for the right arm. so had to cut away the thumb and greens stuff a new on one after inverting and pinning it to a stormbolter arm (with the bolter cut off obviously). Also had to file away whatever was on there originally and then i gave a try at sculpting a skull.. eh.. not so hot, but looks ok from a distance... also add a fist's logo from my green stuff mold...

didn't have to do anything to the other arm

oh yea.. guess what.. Terminator Chaplains can not have storm shields.. damn it!!!! guess i should have read up a bit more before trying this one out.. oh well, the back of the shelf it shall go...
Thats it for today folks.. back to work!!!

I like the conversion and agree, that mark VII does look pretty cool.

Too bad about the storm shield.

I think the big trick on eyes is to make sure the pupil connects from the top to bottom. If it's truly an dot, it looks like he's bug eyed staring. I'm not an expert either, but it might be worth a try.

Hey thanks scott and brian.. i did try another round at the eyes.. kinda decided that maybe the blood red was a bit too much, so just did straight black, also tried to highlight around the white part of the eye and it definitely looks better...Thx! also, this one was actually inspired slightly by your Black Templar terminator chaplain (that i played against and lost too at adepticon)
