Hey guys, anybody converted that chaplain into a Praetor or different centurion? Did you just swap out the weapons? Im using the cataphractii praetor for 40k so I need someone with Master of the Legion. This will be for EC, and I have another champion to use for the Mara skara.

Yeah its really easy to just swap the weapons out - I've converted 3 of the BaC chaplain into consuls/praetors; 2 librarians and an artificer praetor with paragon blade.
If you cut the hands away at the wrist carefully with a sharp hobby knife - and make sure that you don't cut off the wrist guard bit - you can just replace the hands with any bits from the BaC or BoP sets, since they all have the hands attached. If you want to go the easy way, you can just cut the weapons off of the hands, and leave the hands there, and do weapon swaps that way. They won't look as natural, because of the angle of the hands, but it works decently well.
What are you equipping your praetor with? I'm assuming a paragon blade? Or are you use a phoenix spear?

Well, I haven't quite decided because there currently aren't bits for phoenix Spears outside of that terminator set. Does any old power sword work as a Paragon blade? |

Or ARE there! FW is releasing them this weekend at the Open Day, should be on sale in a couple weeks at most. Also there are some DOPE spear bits across GWs other kits, you can absolutely use them for your models and make them look sweet as hell.
And yes, I just use power swords (er...power Kopeshes) as paragon blades/power swords/power axes/charnabal sabers in my army list and just paint them a little differently.

Yep, I saw that they are being released, so I'll pick up a set or two.
