I actually modelled him a few years ago, but I thought my first modelling post here should be at least something nice looking. Just looking for some general comments.

I also thought he would make a good test of posting images with reguards to sizing, lighting, and such.

**Kid_Kyoto**

quite nice, what is he made from?

**syr8766**

Borgio the Beseiger it looks like (from the waist up, at least).

Nice conversion. Let's see it painted!

**Darkchild**

good eyes, yair. That's what i thought too.

Darkchild

**brotherskeeper74**

Oooooo... Nice beat stick. Good work.

**ironkodiak**

Borgio's Upper half (I love to take mounted models and put them on foot and vise/versa) with Fabius Bile's legs. The cloak on the legs was smoothed out with a Dremel buffing pad. Then I bitsed the hell outta him.

I want to paint his entire retinue with him so as to keep a coehesive look, and I'm too into my Tau right now to start the paint right away.

Now I kinda wanna show you his crew and their ride.

Acolyte w/power armor and one with storm shield

Other henchman including combat servitor, 2 warriors, a familiar, and an astropath, and the Eversor

Their ride..............

Stormtroopers

**Kid_Kyoto**

Nice. Warrior 1 is cypher with bitz. That second warrior is an old Titian crewman (always liked that design) with a sentinel bit of armor as his shield. I also see an unrealeased Adeptus mech guy in the small picture. Good army with lots of obscure stuff.

Do i get a cookie?

How about you'll be the first to see when I convert the other 2 titan crewman. This army has allowed me to use a bunch of those odds and ends figures I've either had for a long time or gotten from my friends that have been into GW for over 20 years. Most of these old figs were bought right off the shelf when they were still available in the regular line.

I called the UK a few years back specifically looking for that one guy, no luck. Use them well!

Actually if you have more than one why not use all of them as crusaders, you mentioned wanting a unified look.

I've got an extra one of him if your interested....... Just let me know.

**syr8766**

There's also a spryer (Yeld w/out wings?) and one of the old IG commanders in there.

Nice nice stuff. I really like the conversion of Cypher. Is that one of the new Van Saar heads?

**ironkodiak**

Actually its the head of Alfredo Garcia. HA!

Really, the head is from a SM Scout biker. I got the entire Scout Biker metal bits free from GW when they were first released.

Funny you should mention Van Saar. My entire guard regiment that goes with these guys are the old Van Saar with tons of conversions (I got about 45 so far). I wanted desert look without Tallarns, so I figured why not Still suits from Dune? I treat it as carapace armor. I just hate all the mullets!
