This is the mock up, to represent the Talon of Horus. It still needs greenstuffing, but I think this should work out.
With this simple weapon conversion and swap I should be able to use him as a cheap Chaos Lord or pull off a 'counts as' Abaddon; as there is not description of what the Talon looks like in the codex now.
Looks like it should do the job of fulfilling the WYSIWYG requirement and will still keep the character of the mini. Good idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's looking good Jim & I believe it will suit your 'counts-as' purposes admirably. One comment though: It still looks slightly unfinished from the conversion perspective; you know how there's a power generator on the twin-linked bolter that powers the chainblade attachments? Incoporating a suitable bit to power those impressive talons should do the trick. Go go Soul Reapers!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think the addition of Berzerkies in your Ard Boy List is a good idea. Dedicated assault troops like them form a good balance for your hit-&-run unit (bikers) who can't afford to get tied up.
