Converted Word Bearers Dark Apostle (Revised pics)
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. Image 100940 shows pictures of the unpainted converted figure. Comments and criticisms, please!
