Description This is Captain Jyson Torex, Commander of the 2nd Company and Lord-Consul of Arbato, the Chapters Homeworld.
Some of his brothers say, he is the Black-Pauldrons equivalent of Cpt. Sicarius from the Ultramarines. And indeed he has much in common with his conceited blue brother. As well regarding his duties as his equipment and appearance.


Captain Torex can be played as a Sicarius ([link] ) count-as.


I'm not yet sure if i like it or not. I originally wanted to use Deathcompany-legs but it's nearly impossible to get some as spare bitz on ebay.

The helmet is a bit bigger than I thought it would be and the hand of the plasmapistol is to big. Maybe the dark gods grant their worshippers bigger hands...

I also wanted to use a Dark Angels-sword to give him something special to represent the Talassiarn Tempest Blade. But same problem here as from the legs.

Unfortunatelly there is no armour that looks only a bit like the Mantle of the Suzerain so i decided to use this one to take a torso that is at least completelly different from the standart ones.

As for the pose: I don't think that a Space Marine Captain should stand on the battlefield like posing for a calendar, like GW's Sicarius does. They should look like fighting.


Parts used:
Torso front, Helmet: Sanguinary Guard
Backpack and left shoulder pad: Deathcompany
Right shoulder pad and Torso back: Space Marine Commander
Legs and Plasmapistol: Khorne Berzerkers
Iron Halo: Assault Terminators
Powersword: Space Marine Command Squad
Plus some Space Marine Bitz

Awesome conversion mate although if I made him, I'd file off the nipples on the chest plate, I'm just adverse to them, reminds me too much of Batman and Robin and the pointlessness.

*shudders*

Well, he has a muskle suit, a helmet, a cape and he is originaly an Ultramarine - he's Ultraman!

But your'e right, on a second view the nipples really suck. I'm going to cut them off.

Very nice conversion idea. Especially combining the the commanders cape with the Blood angel chest piece. It looks surprisingly good.

Nothing like a metal 8-pack to make a space marine feel good about himself. That's a really cool mini.

looks great, though i think you should have put some sanguinary guard legs, it seems to fit in better than berserker legs. just my 2cents.

other than that, i'd give a slight twist to the hand holding up the sword to make it pointing foward.

Thanks

I thought about sanguiary legs, but than he would have been a non-blood angels captain with a sanguiary guard armor.
I wanted his appearance to be uniqe and his armor to look ancient and unusual as well.

This way the swords tip has the right level to poke a CSM in the eye
