Rogue Trader Mentor Legion - Converted Exo-Suits

Nicely done

I do have a couple of those in the pile, so less likely to cut into them.

But still, look forwarded to seeing the modified boys painted up!

Cheers. It was a bit of dilemma whether or not I should, but then I figured I still have one untouched one lying around anyway. And also; I can't find anybody who's done something like this before, so there's that 

Here's a better picture of the boys, all based up and with all unsightly gaps and cuts GS'ed over. Most of it is concentrated on the backs of the arms though, so not much to see here I'm afraid.

All I need to do now is prep the two heavy flamers (by cutting off the shoulderpads and adding some magnets) and recreate two bannerpoles from plastic rod and GS, as I only have three, and I do feel they're essential to the look of the miniatures.

I had been contemplating drilling out the helmet on the sergeant and adding a bare head to the hole, but I sort of forgot during the proces. What do you think? Worth it?

Looking great.

I personally wouldn't but that's just because I like to add helmetstripes and other markings, often seen in the Roguetrader days to mark rank. If you do want a bare head I'd be more tempted to give one of the others a bare head, and keep the serge with a helmet.

never much seen the point in doing a bare heading a heavily armored tank.

Bit like swapping the main battle tank cannon for a lance so you can drive up close to stab the enemy tanks with it..

Never much seen the point worrying too much about modifying them either though - ok they are now expensive on ebay etc, but were in essence mass produced, and really, your helping maintain the value of the unmolested ones..

That and they are your toys, so have at it, its not like they are Fabergé eggs you have decided to scramble.

Also the work done really looks good, its achieving what you want and the aesthetic etc, so yay!.

In other words if you want one who got shipped to battle before they could screw his helmet on - make sure he looks really annoyed about it as every one is trying to shoot his face off.
