Legion of the Damned - Sergeant Centurius and friends WIP

Recommended Posts

Every now and then I come across and old battered model from my youth that I want to try and rescue, and in this case it's Sergeant Centurious!

Some of the details have been really hammered away on this guy, mostly around the face and the skull he is holding (the Animum Malorium), but I do like trying to rescue an old model, especially a classic like this one.

Easily one of my favourite models from back in the day. I’ve often looked for him on eBay but the prices I’ve seen him fetch are a little nuts.

 

He looks great already and looking forward to where you go with him though :tu:

Thanks chaps, glad you all like! :D

 

I took a few pics to see how well the blue flames and the rest of the paint job sit together. Quite happy with it!

What mark of backbag you´re gonna give to oldie goldie SGT?

 

Well, the original one it came with is broken, I am trying to find a suitable replacement. 

 

I hate banners on backpacks, but I dunno... it's a classic mini... hnnnggg

Got any MKVI backpacks to match his armor?

I might have either an RTB01 back pack or an early Mark VII one somewhere (as in, the original metal Mark VII whose torso came as two parts, with plastic arms). Possibly a plastic banner pole too.

 

I'll have a look over the next few days. If I find them and you want them, let me know.

Thanks chaps! Loads of great support here! :D 

 

I have managed to find a mk iv backpack from one of the heresy kits. It's a little bigger than the one it came with, but in much better condition. I am now in two minds about giving him a back banner. 

 

From an artistic point of view the banner allows for a lot of fun, but I hate back banners. They are such an impractical thing. :/ 

 

Decisions decisions... :/

So he is pretty much done. I am just finishing up his backpack.

I tried to make his face look a little more leathery and sunken. I spent a bit of time googling corpses, which was a jolly experience and I am sure someone in law enforcement is having a field day with my google history.

Thanks Bio! :D 

 

Well, my project to rescue this old model has been a nice little success.

There are parts of the model, such as the face and the skull he is holding, that lost a fair bit of detail in the process, but I think I have managed to fix them well enough. 

I must admit, I would love a squad of these guys to go alongside him!

This looks great, dude! I have the entire metal LOTD squad laying around, and I'd be happy to send you a proper backpack. PM me if you want it :smile.:

 

Very much appreciate the offer, but don't worry about it. Thanks again though, really do appreciate the offer! :D
