Saw two Reaper minis that I'm really interested in! The first one is the OoP Avatar of Aurelius that a lot of people are already using as the Blood Angels Primarch Sanguinius. However, due to it being OoP, the price online is rather high!

The second is Almaran the Gold. Think he'll make a very nice Blood Angels Company Champion, but changing the torso to power armor may well be impossible?

You are right - the Aurellius is a 28mm scuplt, but as expensive as any GW figure!
ReplyDeleteThe Almaran figure is as you said hard to convert since it is one-piece except for the shield-arm.
If I were to do it, I will just cut the legs off below the kneecap and replace them with plastic ones.
These photos give a good idea of the figure's anatomy:

Other options are:
Shave off face on chest and replace with blood-drop
Add backpack
Add pistol to waist
Change shield to power-shield
If you get the parts, I am happy to convert for you. ;)
