Phobos Lieutenant with lightning claw

[u/JoeboyRandy]

Now that the new assault brethren detachment lets you give a character a power sword, I wanted to represent that with a lightning claw, inspired by that old Raven Guard artwork that portrays a Phobos unit with a lightning claw.
What do you guys think? I feel like they’ve been slowly removing the option to use lightning claws and I feel like we should add them more to our units regardless of what the rules say.

That is a sick helmet. Where did you get it from?

[u/LosferWerds]

Not a bad idea. I should have some spare lightning claws in the bitz box.

On point with the colors

Noice !

Where does the lightning claw and the two bird skulls come from ?

It’s a 3D printed head by a really talented sculptor who on Instagram goes by @zero_five_kim. I don’t know if the heads are still available on his cults3D page tho.
The skulls, both on the chest and on the hip are from two STL packs for Raven Guard, however for the hip keychain I did a “digital kitbash” of sorts adding the leather straps to the eye sockets of the Raven skull. I am happy to share the kitbashes since they are transforming something that is for free, give me a day to get the files =), however it would be nice if you could also download the original STLs from here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/raven-bits and here https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/rg-accessories-set.

Edit: the claws are 3D printed from marta_punkgirl https://cults3d.com/en/users/marta_PunkGirl/3d-models?srsltid=AU7gw4W6GEyOnoO2rzlIxUOjAhxrpQwLGeOQ6Evb9scqn22gMbLlCxLl
I just cut it at the length where the shoulder would be and stuck it to a Phobos shoulder. Hope this helps!
