Kitbashing an Armiger into an Empire Swordsman

This is the third Knight in my Imperial Knights kitbashing project. This time I'm making a humble Empire Swordsman and I'm recreating an amazing piece of art.

In this kitbashing video I replace the arms of the armiger with appropriate weapons and a shield. Naturally he gets a large power sword, this comes from the Grey Knights.

For the shield I had to improvise, because I didn't have an actual shield ready for him. So two rhino doors stuck together and cut to the right shape will have to make do.

The icon on the shield is an important focus point in the art, so I wanted to recreate it, but in my style. The skull became a trophy of the king of the forest and it has become proper gory and nasty.

I loved making this kitbash and I think I will convert a few more Armigers into the smaller empire troops. A spearman, a handgunner, it's all possible.
