Is the axe plasticard? Or pirated from an enginseer or something?

That's some real nice work on the shoulderpad. Space Marines are generally hard to make original-looking, but it looks like you don't need to worry about that.
It's always a good day in my book when I find a deviant who also does Wh40k.

Thankee.
The shoulderpad embossing is an idea I stole from the Archangel model I saw at the Golden Daemons a while back.

Oooh, very cool - very nicely done, Peter! You said "converted" - did you modify the model itself as well as painting it?

The model is fairly modified from the original 'base' as you would.
The body is that of a Dark Angels space marine, and would normally just carry a rifle. I modified it to carry the rather large axe and the pistol. As well I added the hearaldic sheild - the blocky thing that you can't much make out by the pistol. As well, the robe folds were a little exxagerated with some modelling clay, to make it easier to paint them.

A lot of it is just a steady hand, and preseverance.
A trick that can make the art look a lot better is to do layering, even a little helps, for example on the robe I put a dark red all over it as a base coat, and then on top of it, I put a lighter red on the tips of the folds in the robe.
Thanks for the comment
