I loved the design of these guys as soon as I saw them, so went about making my own version with what I could find. Substituted FW heads (for availability reasons) and lost the sword due to a lack of reliable sources for bulk sheathed swords that fit the scale. If anyone has ideas I'd be all ears.

Spoiler:


He contains a mixture of Cadian, Scion and Empire pieces from Forge World and Games Workshop.

Its a bit dark but I don't have an alternate photo setup right now.

Thanks for looking.

Looks good, and far more in line with fluff from IG units than the boring Cadian crap. Well done.

They look great! feathered caps are always a neat touch. i'm not sure about a source for swords like that sadly. i know that AoS stormcast figures often come with seperate sheated swords but that's probably not the right scale and certainly too pricey.


realism is a lie

Great work. Too bad about the sheathed swords, the one in the codex looks so cool. But your model and paint job are awesome nonetheless!

I like your version better than the original, the head is cooler. Sheated swords should be easy to find, for example:

The empire greatswords kit has several sheathed swords, they're about right for scale too. I think the WD model might even have one.

The High Elves Spearmen kit has tons of sheathed sword that should fit no problem.
