Terminator Chaplain Kitbash

I decided that I want to have a Termy Chappy. Therefore, I spent a couple days browsing around on the internets to find the neccessary bits to compliment the ones I already had. This is what I ordered:
-Chaos Terminator Lord Body and Legs
-Black Templar Terminator Shoulder Pads (a lot cheaper than regular termy pads for some reason)
-Terminator Misc. Bits (all the little stuff not neccessary to a termy build like heraldry shields and the like)
-Extra Heraldry Shields

I already had the arms, and I just used an unhelmeted head.

For the whacking stick, I spliced up the Homing Beacon that came with the bits and used the light as the shaft, and then I just stuck a large winged icon on the top to make the head. I reinforced it by gluing scroll cases from the shaft to the hand, making the bond tighter. These got glued to a powersword hand with the blade lopped off.

For the legs, I filed off the totem-looking thing on the left leg, and then filed down a heraldry shield too, and stuck it on the leg. I glued on groin protection, and filed down the chest iconography. I stuck another plate that came from the bits onto this filed down spot.

Now all I need to do is file down some of the edges and mold lines, and it will be ready for painting! (Not to mention the Dark Angel markings on the storm bolter....

A Pious Chaplain

My Chappy arrived shortly after Mephiston. I wanted to really pull all the stops out on this paintjob, so I painted like I have never painted before.... and still sucked. But A+ for effort!

I am beginning to sense a change...

Still licking my wounds from the competition, I contemplated where to go next. I bought two assault squad boxes before leaving the store hosting the competition, as a start. Upon reflection, I decided that Blood Angels were worth looking into. I downloaded the Codex for free from GW's website, and found that the codex had been updated for 5th edition, much to my pleasure.

Upon reading the codex, I found that Blood Angels had a unit named Death Company Marines. With rending CC attacks, Feel No Pain, Furious Charge, they seemed like a decent way to plug up the gap my force was having in assaults. But I didn't have any DC models, or a chaplain to reign them in! Well, now was as good a time as any to get some.

I went on ebay, and discovered that DC are expensive! Thus, I purchased a lot of 2 tactical squads and a command squad that had been owned by some kid. I then bought some bits from a supplier on ebay. Ok, not just some, A LOT. I used chainsword and bolt pistol arms, along with the torsos, heads, and legs of the tactical squad marines I got, to make some DC.

I got a Mephiston and a Chaplain, so I waited eagerly for them to arrive.

It was official, I was going Blood Angel. Obviously my force would have to be a successor chapter if I didn't want to paint all my units again. But I now had direction, which is what I was missing. I was going to be a MEQ!
