I am wanting to make a model to use as Leman Russ but I want to make one that is a bit different to the usual ones that has him brandishing the frost blade and bolter. I was thinking about using wolf claws for his weapons and making his power armour out of terminator legs and a normal body with the abdomen filled out with GS as I always imagined him as a "short" primarch. Does anyone have any advice or pointers? Or am I just speaking rubbish? Thanks
