The Black Saint



The honored leader of the Celestine Monks, Pyzethon, The Black Saint, (a stand in for Saint Celestine) was taken from a Brother Captain Stern model that was pretty much unconverted. BCS has some great markings, he's in power armor, holds a cool looking sword, and is overall pretty badass. Of course, he will NEVER be taken in my GK army as himself because his rules are absolutely terrible. So converting him to be the Black Saint gives me a double win, I get to use a great looking unique model I would otherwise not use, and have a good base model for my new CM character that won't look like anyone else in the army.



Of course Pyzethon, like Saint Celestine, is a jump infantry character. Most Celestine conversions give her wings instead of cherubs holding a cape, and I liked that idea for my saint as well. But, I had to make it a little more masculine and make the 'wings' fit the story. So although I suppose he could have just sprout extra flying appendages, I felt it would be better if they were installed on his pack instead. I made a winged jump pack much like the Sanguinary Guard for him to use, and to match the converted Sanguinary jump packs I used for the CM Seraphim Squad who will accompany Pyzethon into battle.



The back view shows the jump pack and wings, which will have an extra Inquisition symbol added for good measure. The pack comes from an extra set of Warhammer Fantasy pegasus wings and a Sanguinary Guard jump pack. I magnetized the pack so I can use either his wings as the Black Saint, or his normal pack and banner to be an unnamed Prior (Canoness) for smaller point games.
