Some medium conversions here, mostly with bitz from a pack of Bretonnian Knights of the Realm and some general Marine bitz. The commander is made almost entirely from bitz, as the command squad kit I got comes with five guys. His horse and legs are Bretonnian (with Green Stuff added to flare out the boots, like a Marine's) with a shiny commander's front torso I had lying around and a generic back with a commander's backpack. Bretonnian lance and arm, Marine sergeant's "look over there" arm, commander's head, spare shiny pauldrons and a variety of bitz like his holstered bolt pistol.
The sarge didn't get a good shot, sadly, because he's one of my favorites. A Bretonnian head to make him look very patrician with a Marine wreathe on top, the company champion's sword arm and pauldron, and a diabolically-used bog-standard bolter arm holds the Bretonnian "storm shield." Champion's torso to give him the extra coolness I expect of my sergeants.
Plasma gunner was my prototype and is consequently a little lopsided. The helm caused more trouble than I expected, not only being difficult to position but also blocking his right pauldron and backpack pretty severely. Other than the Bretonnian helm and heraldic mini-shield on his ankle, he's pretty normal.
The champion I'm pretty apathetic toward. He came out well, but just doesn't quite do it for me. Standard champion's bolt pistol/combat shield arm with a Crux pauldron, a standard torso, an upgraded power fist for a weapon (I wanted the sergeant to have the super cool power sword) with the champion's other pauldron there. Simple Bretonnian helm, no fancy designs but much easier to work with. A hanging parchment from his belt rounds him out.
The apothecary I wanted to be pretty cool... they never get much attention, despite their overwhelming awesomeness. Another Bretonnian head for that imperious look, with a Bretonnian sword arm and shield tacked onto his reductor. Otherwise normal apothecary parts, posed for epicness.
Aaand the standard bearer. I had to glue a penny under his base because of the weight of the banner. I like this one, it came out well. A commander's power sword adds to the epic levels, some cloth on his belt, and a fancy eagle Bretonnian helm makes him pretty sweet.
The banner will probably look something like this when I'm done:
). They came out well, though the camera still does not like close-up detail despite my coaxing, so faces, heads, etc. are still hard to see, including the damn wreathe.
