In fairness, we just stole the idea from your/Mrsaturday's Judgement Day project.<br /><br />I do like the LE10 figure, it's suitably odd with all the exposed cables.

Now he seems like an overladen veteran. <br /><br />And as you noted the removal of the combat blade really improved the look of the gun. Just one thing though... paladin with no sword?

So it's interesting to see someone else's paint scheme on him before I have a crack at my own one.<br /><br />Just looking at him now I noticed how similar he looks to the female power armour off of Robotech. Maybe that's why I've always liked this mini so much :)<br /><br />That's a really cool conversion you did on his face Jon. I didn't notice he had a blade on his weapon, but your right, it didn't look that cool with it.<br /><br />Top job buddy :)Mr Papafakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449586265828153638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-32886684783623475922015-12-07T14:50:03.034+00:002015-12-07T14:50:03.034+00:00Thanks JB!

But as soon as I decided to go for painted armour, it let me down the path of weathering and chips.<br /><br />I think both groups hang together really nicely. I'd love for us to do a cross-channel game with them at some point - here's hoping!axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-24898279896955116552015-12-07T14:39:52.407+00:002015-12-07T14:39:52.407+00:00He looks excellent and I love to see a totally dif...He looks excellent and I love to see a totally different interpretation of the concept.
