I'm thinking about doing up a conversion of the Emperor (for show, not necessarily for gaming). I've found some great parts that I think would look great for him.
Keep in mind that the model would look close to the Emperor as possible. If I used it for gameplay, it would be a very-powerful Chapter Master (but that can always come later).
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/LEGION_PRAETORS.html = the one in Cataphractii Terminator Armour - the body armour looks Aquilla-esque, or close enough to it
http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/cataphractii-terminator-lightning-claws-a-p-9043.html = the left-arm Lightning Claw from a Cataphractii Terminator
http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/asterion-moloc-cloak-p-8499.html = Asteron Moloc's cloak
The Praetor model would be key, as it would represent the majority of the conversion. Naturally its left arm would be replaced with the
LC from the 2nd link, and Moloc's cloak would be added to it. Would the Praetor be compatible with the Cataphractii
LC and Moloc's cloak?
Not sure about the head yet. Seeing as this model would be Emperor-like, but not THE Emperor (who has no model or stats....yet, *hint hint
FW*), I haven't thought of what to do there. Of course this assumes that the Praetor's head is a separate piece.
If the Praetor's Cataphractii body is not Aquilla-esque like I think, would Cataphractii arms go together with a Tartaros Terminator body? There is one of the latter that has a very obvious Aquilla.
Would greatly appreciate help with this undertaking. I haven't done anything related to
40k for some time now.
