Default Looking for opinions on a badass HQ choice conversion

Ok so my chapter, Crimson Archons, is gonna have a bad ass chapter master equipped with a jump pack but they really dont make those so i need to convert one.

So i was thinking, take the lord Dante figure, cut his head off and his axe arm off
then grab the emperor's champion model, pop his head off and his sword arm off, put those on the lord dante body, and i wasnt sure what the captain shrike jump pack looked like but perhaps if its fancier, grab that and put it on the converted dante.

What do ya think? I was also thinking of maybe a chapter master in terminator armor but im not to keen on terminator parts cause i havent built one yet.

I do like input and ideas tho so ill lay down some facts and maybe you can throw a badass conversion idea my way:

1) Chapter is a blood angel subchapter
2) they prefer close combat over anything else
3) they employ alot of chaplains because of the black rage
4) id like to make my jumppack/terminator troops the elite of my chapter

i dont know if you can draw from that info but its a start, feel free to rip my idea to shreds or give me one to work with =)

Well...He is affective as either a Jump Pack man or a Terminator but which one are you going with? Do you have other Terminators in your army for him to run with? A Honor Guard squad is a bit pricey but...so...so...Juicy too.
