I recently bought a mid level scale version of the majorkill Perturabo stand in. I bought the gaming scale version as well, assembled it and selling now on eBay
But assembling the smaller version has given me some great ideas for how to convert the one I’ll keep.
On the list
Bulk up legs, especially the lower and knees
Add bulk and resculpt details on chest
Resulpt head
Add hanging groin armour below the belt
Redo the missile pods slightly
Remove the star detail over the head
Probably replace the guns on the raised arm with ones capable of having an ammo feed. And figure all that out how it connects to the back
Add a siege gun on his back that has the mechanism to raise up to over his head. Probably looking at the leviathan siege guns, but they might be too big? If not, I’ll use the contemptor ranged guns.
So I’ve made a lot of progress. Still some work to do, mostly adding small spikes, some cables here and there, some details hanging off the shoulder guard, maybe a skull or two off the chains (which I’ll probably have to sculpt due the scale ).
I’d like to put either a load of cameras on him, or a servo skull with cameras, or even a floating servitor holding a camera. My thinking being he analyses everything in detail so he needs cameras
Quite happy with this overall, a great improvement on the original model above imo. Incase there’s confusion he comes with an alternative left arm so the base model isn’t exactly the same.
Realised his face plate flopped over for the photo.! I’ll take better photos once he’s finished. The face plate is so delicate I don’t want to attach it until the end
I am a bit undecided on whether to include the tail or not. On the one hand he is a daemon primarch, with Daemon legs and nobody will tell Perturabo what to do. On the other side the iron Warriors have a disdain for mutation and usually replace with bionics. I mean the tail isn’t obviously flesh so maybe it’s ok.
I think tonally it works well with the limited palette.
