Mephiston make-over

[me_in_japan]

speaking of which, I know its maybe a bit late now, but youre an undead man, aincha? How about a vampire head or similar? Surely thatd be the most appropriate?

This reminds me, I need to do something with my Mephiston. I lost his sword arm, so I'd better set about finding a replacement for it.
I wont be changing the head though. Dodgy mullets dont bother me at all.

I really like the sword improvement. How did you rotate the arm, is it a loose piece?

Hey thanks . Yes that arm was a loose piece, so a little trimming to fit the new position and some glue. And there you have it. Mephiston le Seigneur de la Mort

Ahh, ok I see, but now that I think of it, the head must have been harder to swap, the original head is moulded on right?

If Gw had given me some plastic vampire kit to work with then maybe. But some of those vampire head look more xenos than human, and to be honest aren't very pretty. I subsequently head swapped all vampire heads with elf and darkelf head hmm, maybe if I paint Mephiston's face a pale blue white and have a dribble of red running down one side of his mouth, it'll do it.

Dodgy mullets dont bother me at all.

wow, are you serious guys? man, I can feel the generation gap.

sure was mate. Moulded on and in between two pylons of psychic hood (or psychic collar) so I went in with a pair of clippers and snipped his mullet into a thousand little bits of metal shavings and then hobby knifed the rest. If you aren't fussed about saving the head on the model you want to head swap, then forget the jeweller blade, I say clippers get results fastest.

Of with his head... take a pair of wire cutters to it and presto no more head... I wonder if I could do a head swap on a stealth suit?

I think your model looks good but what are you going to do for paint... are you going to just play them as standard Blood Angels.. or a successor chapter?

[jus]

Ok I think his almost done. Only took all day, I need to eat something fore I pass out.

[me_in_japan]

verra nice. btw - what are the skulls on his base from? i mean, are they GW or some other company? Im always on the lookout for good skulls...

[Seb]

Really nice, have you painted for many years?
Since I barely done any painting at all in my life I wonder where my level will be at..

[Primarch]

Looking good there Justin.
I cant wait to see the rest of your army.

[Spevna]

Very nice. The head looks much better than I thought it would.

What colour are you going to do the sword? I ask because there is a lot of red so something to contrast with that would be good.
