Title: Praetorians
Post by: Brother_Brimstone on March 31, 2010, 02:14:24 PM
Hi all. Upon suggestion I was thinking of using spare Ork Killa Kan parts to make a Praetorian. The only problem is, I have no idea what a Praetorian looks like! I presume it's like a more heavily armoured and armed servitor - but it would be very useful to have some sort of image to work off.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

This is Kaled's wonderful rendition of a Praetorian

Wow, brilliant response. It appears there ia a lot of scope for personalisation, which is great. Mine may be the first made from a Killa Kan then, which I suppose will help make it comfortably different from the others above.

Thanks to all.

Certainly scope for personalisation.  All great models, all quite different looking.  Since a praetorian is mostly a huge combat construct with only token human parts, grab some mechanical bits and get cracking. 
The killa kan should be an interesting starting point.

Aww! I was expecting a Praetorian Imperial Guardsman!

Still, you can't go wrong with a stompy death-dealing defence droid! :)

Don't forget to shave most of the rivets and glyphs off that make it look orky
