Description I usually put my minis in my scrapbook, but I'm really pleased with this guy.

Sgt Telion of the Ultramarines Chapter's Tenth (Scout) Company is, in the current background, an old man (for a space marine) of several centuries' service. But when I got the mini and found that the head was a separate piece, I went straight to my bitz box to see what else could go in its place.

When my hand fell upon the head of an Imperial missionary that had been languishing there for some seven years, the decision was made.

The model, then, represents Telion when he first rejected a place in the First (Veteran) Company to remain with the Tenth as an instructor. This came shortly before the invasion of Hivefleet Behemoth and, in the dying days of the Ultramarines' bloody reclamation of their homeworld of Macragge, Sgt Telion was dispatched ahead of the Second Company relief force to the world's polar fortress, where the First Company was reported to be holding out against the Tyranid assault.

In the wake of this punishing campaign, the entire First Company was lost in their valiant holding action. It was not lost on Sgt Telion that his decision to remain with the Tenth had probably saved his life.

So who's going to inherit Sean Connery's head if Telion's not using it?

LOL! I haven't decided. It nearly went on an Inquisitor the other day. It languishes in my bitz box awaiting a purpose. That missionary head was waiting its purpose for over ten years, so I guess it's only fair.

What a beautiful blue... It's a very cold model, the colors work really, really well.

What a cool idea...i actually prefer this to the original model in terms of the conversions you've made! Whilst i know you've meant him to be a young Telion,i'm looking at it thinking its a cool basis to make a rogue sniper character from!
Might do that...!
Nice job.

and you have REASON to be proud of this one mate, not only does it look excellent, it is white, and we all know white is one heck of a colour to work with (well, unless you paint yellow lol)

he looks very good man, very good
