The Watchers on the Wall
Fortress of solitude
Praetorian Warden Piter of the Imperial Fists, call sign - “Rook”
The conversions in this model were very simple, and were all about completing a theme. The Imperial Fists are siege masters and fortress builders, and as I built this model, it looked like a walking fortress. It’s as wide as it is tall, and Dwarfs even normal Terminators. The Grenade launcher on the shoulders looks like the parapet of a Fortress.
The only conversions were
1) Green Stuff IF icon on the right shoulder guard. This was done to try and challenge my sculpting skills, and also because painting the IF icon on a yellow background is difficult, and not forgiving of mistakes.
2) switching the Agressor helmet, which looks rather insect-like, for the Mk3 Iron Armor helmet from the Burning of Prospero box. It just looks like a Castle portcullis/gate, emphasizing the Fortress theme.
Top it off with the call sign “Rook”, as he reminds me of a Rook chess piece.
