Here, I've used a cadian guard, a shotgun from Space Marine Scouts, the grav chute and some green stuff.The shape and design of the grav chute is more geometrical and I thought of elbow and knee pads moulded into similar shape to relate to the grav chute. I've also did a similar styling on the shoulder pads.
I had to be careful as not to overdo it and make sure that this is a conversion that I can do for the next 19 guardsmen as it should be simple enough to maintain its consistency and yet effective.For the colors, I've chosen a scheme similar to the Elysian Taros Campaign color scheme. These para-troopers are a separate division in my army called the Praetorian Hawks and will be distinctly different from the rest of the Byzantum Guards. At the moment, I plan to have 2 veteran squads of this in 2 valkyries. I think some variety of uniform would look interesting on the battlefield.

Um... wow?
WOW!!
What a fantastic miniature. The finished model looks seamless!
The thought of doing 19 more would give me nightmares, however...
Great work, a good conversion and a paint job to match. Looking forward to seeing more!
nice work! love the padded parts of the trousers, very well sculpted
Very good work
I love
The greenstuff work is fantastic and seamless! I would have NO idea it was a conversion based on the finished pictures if you didn't show the WIP pics. Seriously, if you didn't show the WIP, I would call "bullshit" on you. That's how good it is.
I really can't say anything in addition to what Master Darksol has already pointed out.
The finished model just leaves me speechless!
Very nice mate, the phrase ....
"Coming to a Valkyrie near you!"
comes to mind - lol
