Nice work - very sinister and scary!

It's another good example of how, even though the GW range is pretty small, you can still create interesting and original looking characters by making a few well chosen additions and changes to a model.

Really cool conversion, you have used the parts available to great effect. Alot more scary looking than the original model GW did!

GW never did a 54mm Culexus, unless my memory fails me.

Anyway - brilliant use of the Simeon model! I had never even seen a potential Culexus in it, but it seems perfect for the job!

that's one of the most appropriate uses I've seen for that shouldergun, great idea to use dameon/simeon. You've added just the right amount of stuff to him to not look bare or cluttered.

Very clever and sinister.

And now I'm going to have to do something else for the IGT...

They did do an Eversor as I recall, in a rather similar pose to that. So I can see the mistake...

Very well done, you've captured the character perfectly.
