Hello All!
I recently picked up the new Marneus Calgar (Primaris) as well as the new SM codex, and Ultramarine specific codex. There are a load of new images of Calgar and I felt, although good, the new model could be converted to make it look and feel right in my mind.
Having looked at how the arms were built - the one issue I have with new plastic characters is that the 'monopose' can create a headache for conversions, however, the Primaris Marneus Calgar kit has the arms pretty well accessible and able to get in to change them.
I chopped both arms at the elbow and shoulder, and then readjusted to allow the gauntlets of Ultrama to be positioned to be on the hips. I will need to add some Green Stuff to the cabling to connect everything together.
The long term plan is for the model to pay homage to all previous versions of Marneus, ideas are planned!
Cheers, Lord Halfpenny
