Well, he's all done. Unfortunately because of the cape he couldn't fit at all on the base I finished for him- poor planning I suppose. So, I settled on a regular base like the rest of the army has. I'll use the 40mm base for Captain Nikaetus when I start working on my Avenging Sons again.
Legs are Forge World Mk IV armor, with a plastic purity seal on the left leg. Torso and backpack are from the plastic Space Marine Commander set, though I did carefully cut off the exposed Aquila feathers poking out from under the tassels. The sword I'm using to rep his Paragon Blade is the Company Champion sword from the SM Command Squad frame. The head is from Forge World's Mk IV Command Upgrade pack.
The shoulder pads are Mk II pads from Forge World- the extra detail on the trim works well for a command model. The right shoulder I painted on laurels, and attached a Roman numeral "X" from Secret Weapon's Brass Etch Roman Numerals. Loken's the Captain of the Tenth Company, so I thought this would make a nice touch.
As fate would have it I got an email from Forge World yesterday telling me all about their new Garviel Loken and Abaddon boxed set. I did order it, but I sure could've used last month! Still, I'm happy with the conversion and paint job, and am looking forward to this Friday's HQ Throwdown at Legio Malaysia.
Awesome Power Sword Loken have there. I was expecting a barehead Loken but this works too =)
ReplyDeleteSaw some picture of FW Loken vs Abaddon, that Abaddon sure look nasty...poor Loken is helding a chainsword against Abby's power sword =p
nice painting job and a really epic sword! maybe the back of his clock can use some more highlights?
ReplyDeleteThe poor picture doesn't show the German Grey and Cold Grey airbrushed highlights- though it is subtle :) Thanks for checking it out
DeleteGreat job on him! A nice paint job and the selection of bitz is just right. What comes next for the sons of Horus?
ReplyDeleteFor the rest of this week I'll continue working on the Tactical Support Squad with Volkite Calivers. They should've been done a month ago but I haven't kept up. Once Friday's Throwdown is done the next thing will be a Mk IIb Land Raider... :)
DeleteThat is one SWEET model dude! Beautifully done and awesome conversion work.
ReplyDeleteSweet indeed :). Nicely done homes. Having seen it first hand I can attest that the cloak does have subtle grey gradients.
ReplyDeleteVery nice.. But the cloak is too simple I think.
ReplyDeleteI need to start learning how to paint swords like that.
That model just looks sweet. I look forward to seeing the Apocalypse battle when the throw down is over.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks guys
ReplyDeleteDude, that's real sweet! Check out the sword! Makes my command squad look so rough! Well done!
