Below is a post of mine from years ago from Dakka fiction. What I am thinking of trying to do again is make custom models based off each of these characters. What I would like help with is a good place that could do the initial cut of their model look or interesting kitbashes that gets me in general how they should look.

Here are several characters me and some people on eternal crusades made up. Who the character belongs to is at the @ symbol. Tell me what you guys think, and I am TechCaptain.

Regimental role: 
Marksman/spotter 

Physical description: 
Andreas is dark-haired and fair-skinned. He is tall and lanky, but the guardsman's life has made him physically fit, even though it's done little to make him imposing. Around his neck, he carries a small wooden trinket carved in the fashion of the Aquila, which he holds close to his chest during prayer. In battle, he takes off his amulet and wraps it around the barrel of his autogun, or long-las, should he be deployed with one. During missions he carries a few select items beside the standard-issue guardsman equipment. Among these items are a long-las and a pair of magnoculars, shared with his brother Simon, and an autogun.

Simon Machiadyn 

Age: 
26 

Homeworld: 
Tarsis (Hive World) 

Former regiment: 
1st Tarsis Redeemers (Light Infantry) 

Regimental role: 
Marksman/spotter 


Physical description: 
Simon is has brown hair and pale skin. He is about 4 inches shorter than his brother and just as lanky. 

The Guardsman’s life has done little but become a giant headache for him. Though his endurance is fairly good, he is constantly struggling under the weight of all his kit. His most prized and arguably only real possession is an autopistol that’s matte finish has become scratched and pitted from years of hard use. During missions he carries a few select items beside the standard-issue guardsman equipment. Among these items are a long-las and a pair of magnoculars, shared with his brother, and an autogun if Sebastian isn’t picking up the slack.

Edit: Deleted unnecessary background.

Holy wall of text Batman.
There's a huge amount of superfluous, unmodelable information here.
Maybe you'll have better luck with a tldr synopsis that focuses purely on the physical attributes.

Your right. So I edited out the background and I will look back at this and see what other details would be good to fill this out.
