Description My take on Commander Shadowsun. I didn't like where the antennae was, and the head felt a little empty, so that worked out well, and frankly anyone who used the model without converting the base is a weirdo, because it looks stupid balancing on a bit of rubble like that with a tiny base.

This model is actually one of my so far un-named Shas'Els who I use the Shadowsun rules for when playing games.

Really nice job, I think the battle damage looks great also I totally agree with you about the base thing way too unbalanced

Hmm, yes, I think I could, but to be honest I don't much like it. I've seen it before and I don't like the proportions, it's too wide and the feet are way to small. If I was going to make him myself I'd start with Shadowsun add various shapes and do a lot of sculpting to fill the gaps. But in 40k rules he's a bit rubbish, you can't move and fire with a smart missile system and if you use it as a missile pod then it's just a Fireknife with a pointless flamer (because the long range setup really shouldn't ever be close enough to use it). I like the idea of customizable stealth suits commanders though, maybe next codex...

Thanks. yeah with a 12" range weapons she tends to get in pretty close, so I figured she's probably get pretty battered in the process. That's the first suit I painted for my new army so the battle damage isn't actually modeled on like it is with the others, just painted.
