Converted Word Bearers Dark Apostle

Both converted and painted in 2005 for conversion/painting competitions on the Relic Painting & Army Displays Forum, this is the first figure I've ever converted outright and the second competition-quality figure I've painted in about 13 years. The base model is a Games Workshop Space Marine Chaplain in Terminator armor - using the modified arms off two old Chaos Terminators I've had packed away, and following a lot of cutting, gutting, and sculpting of details and bloated flesh, this is the end result here. I also sculpted the stonework base and the cracked tile effect from scratch on a 40mm round slottabase, and the freehand on both the figure and base are probably the most extensive I've done to date. Comments and criticisms, please! (The original conversion is image #100940 on CMoN)

The stones and marble effect look amazing. Overall this is a first class mini. Your skill is obviously good however personally I think it looks a bit "dirty". Like the washes are rushed a bit or something. I dunno, it's better than what I can do in any case.
