Reckon the new red corsair kit could proxy as executioners and be loyal to the lore maybe helm change and less spikes on back or still to chaos themed?

Hello sons of dorn,

having a large stock of space marines to paint, I decided to try and find a good way to paint the Executioner paint scheme (I love Badab's war) but as I am not a fan of metallic armor on the SMs I had to find something else.

Greetings brothers,

Just wanted to share my first attempt at making an Executioner. It was also my first kitbash, using an MK 3 Tactical Marine with Deathwatch upgrade parts. I'm really happy with the metallic blue recipe tried - I based the armour with Grey Knights Steel and applied slightly thinned Space Wolves Contrast Over it.

I also practised painting energised power weapons. I based the sword and claw in Grey Knights Steel, then glazed them with Teclis Blue and some Lothern Blue.

I'd love some feedback on what could improve!

Awaiting transfers and their improved flight stands

I really enjoy the Badab war as a concept and wanted to depict a small skirmish/duel between two chapters I enjoyed on opposite sides

I'm seeing differing recommendations for executioner colour schemes. Is there any older material that gives any references? Thus far I've settled on French Blue (AK) and Light Bronze (Pro Acryl) with a Nuln Oil (Citadel) wash and Dawn stone (Citadel) edge highlight.

Thanks for the assist!

I’m working on a 2 marine diorama and I finished my executioner! I love their paint scheme.
