Constantin Valdor. Posting one photo here, and more on him in this post: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371175-constantin-valdor-in-shadowkeepers-colors/?p=5725723

You may have expected Valdor to be wearing his usual golden armor. But not this time! We were asked to get him painted for use both as a showcase piece, and as a member of a Shadowkeepers force in Warhammer 40k. That's one of the reasons why his display base is removable, so he can be used in tabletop battles. See the additional photos to see the base removed and the model without the base, as well as additional angles and views on the model. And if you wonder about the blue and red lighting effects on the model, here's the explanation: After researching a bit about Shadowkeepers, Ańa decided to use two kinds and sources of light on the model. Red light coming from below, represented the demonic enemies. Valdor being in charge of troops keeping them in check would counter them with purity of Adeptus Custodes. This is the blue light coming from inside the collar of his armor and shining onto his face. This would also match some details of his armor and the force halberd. Hope it makes sense now And oh, somebody during the Warhammer Community Hobby Roundup mentioned how he reminds of Abaddon. Totally unexpected, but it turned out to be true! You can check it by yourselves. If you want to see more photos, they can bee seen here.

Never thought about it this way but it sounds really interesting. Somebody else suggested an Iron Warriors knight with souls of the crew fused to the machine. Cool idea and pretty much in line with the way the model looks and also pretty compliant with the lore, as far as I know.

Here's a Cerastus Knight Atrapos we've done. The ghostly parts were requested and as far as I know they were supposed to represent some kind of possession of the Knight. I didn't want to bore you with all the photos, so the remaining pictures can be seen here.

And here's the Imperial Fists primaris space marine version of the bust: more photos below: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370714-imperial-fists-primaris-space-marine-bust/?p=5711566

Does a primaris bust still count as a primaris space marine? :D
