Soul Drinkers Sarpedon and Sgt. Telion

Good morning fellow wargamers!

I've been trying to get caught up on posting, and it usually ends with me posting three of four posts back to back, (such as now).

This project revolved around a client who wanted a few Soul Drinkers figures. This particular client took their time finding passages in the Soul Drinkers novels describing these particular characters in detail. For Sarpedon, we went with a larger spider abdomen than most conversion artists usually use. The client really wanted Sarpedon on a 60mm base, so I went with a D&D Draegloth from the Drow range. The biomechanical leg comes from an AT-43 miniature, peppered in with plenty of 40k marine bits. I tried to find a few icons with the Soul Drinkers custom grail, and I have ordered some custom Chapter House shoulder pads for this purpose.

For Telion, we went with two models. The first is a marine version, before his fall. Telion fights with a sword and knife, stands on a mound of dead bodies (a corpse pile from the WFB Corpse Cart, diced up and filled with extra parts from the Zombie regiment sprue).

The second model is a kit bash from a Chaos Marauder body with a marine head and legs. The 'fan blades' are sword blades, meant to look as though Telion has had blades from a massive fan shoved into the bloody stumps of his arms, wrapped with bandages.

After having seen the first pics, the client made a few requests for changes, so I'll be posting updated pics in a few days.
