There’s a new Draigo in town! Check out this super-sized conversion of Kaldor Draigo using Roboute Guilliman’s body as a base.
Coming from Peagull Painting on Instagram, Draigo is being shown in a new light. When you think of a Daemon-killing Librarian, this is the model that should pop into your head first!
Grey Knights have had it rough in 8th edition and it looks like Draigo has been eating his Wheaties in preparation for Chapter Approved!
A New Draigo in Town: Kaldor Draigo Conversion
Draigo has always been seen in his classic set of Terminator armor but have you thought about what he’d look like if he was the size of a Primarch?
Draigo took his wrist-mounted storm bolter and flipped it around the underside of his arm to make room for that bigger (and honestly better) shield made from a Knight Titan.
Was finally able to get some good light box photos of the Draigo/bobby G I converted for a friend a while ago. Super happy with it still & one of my favorite models I’ve ever done
Using Guilliman’s body as a base for the whole operation, it looks like the hobbyist chose a Paladin’s helmet, an Imperial Knight shield, some giant book, and a tattered cape as the main pieces for the conversion. The more you look at Draigo, the more detail you can spot!
Check out all of those purity seals. They’re all blowing in the same direction as his cape. It’s like he’s standing over an open field where the wind is coming in strong.
All in all, this is a beautiful rendition of one of the most iconic Space Marine characters lorewise. It would be nice to see even more heroes become scaled up as conversions in the future!
What do you think of this Draigo? Does he look more like someone who can behead a Greater Daemon of Tzeentch and walk through the Garden of Nurgle unscathed?
