Blog Entries: 4 | ok, heres the break down of the parts that aren't Marine: The cloak is from a Chaos Warrior, just clipped and sanded to fit a marine, not that hard to do really. The backpack I still don't know, probably the old commander set? I have no clue, but the new one should do just as well. Staff is brass rod, and the mace on top is probably just some random bit he found. I can't for the life of me pick out the mace. It may not be GW made. could be from the Flagellent models, or from the Tomb Kings. The skirt is a High Elf/Dark Elf skirt with a green stuff rectangles covering some of the chain mail.

Blog Entries: 4 | There isn't much added height but he's much more in scale then with normal marine legs. The green stuff over the chain mail is a must in order to give it a little more width.

| Come on Gents....this is an easy one....the mace bit is the Mace of Valaan that Redemptor Kyrinov carries from classic 2d/3d edition 40K....nothing better than a good power mace....I love the Marine Veteran and Classic Sister Superior who carry those......If I am not mistaken....the backpack is Marneus Calgar's 2d/3d edition backpack....Great job on the conversion.....I like the double barrelled bolter and may just have to do a couple of those....

Blog Entries: 5 | The only reason i'm loathe to agree with you on the 2nd/3rd edition backpack is because it is plastic.

| Re: What parts? It is a differnet backpack in finished model + WiP shot  Finished model has second edition ( i think, first edition was on a throne, then second was in power armour, current edition in termi armour ) marneus calgars backpack with the backbanner pole removed WiP shot uses the plastic marines backpack in commander box set The torso ia the back of a plastic chaos warrior Sklep z grami REBEL.pl :: Warriors Of Chaos Regiment - gry rpg, gry planszowe, gry karciane i inne However - i dont think it has been changed apart from removing the shoulder spike and then sticking the front of a marines torso to it ( the shoulderpads etc are on the chaos cloak hence why im pretty sure it hasnt been modified apart from that spike ) Skirt is from the dark elf warrior regiment sprue Think right hand + mace pole is from the command squad standard bearer arm If im not mistaken - i think that model is made by Abstract Incendaries from the B&C thanks, L |

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: What parts? It's probably made that way so it looks more antique/pre-heresy.
