I'm not actually putting Arjac's shieldbrothers in any particular order, other than that in which they are modelled and finished, but since I'm not naming them all, I have to call them something.
The most distinguishing feature on this model is the Thunder Hammer head sculpted from scratch. I carved a few runes on its surface, which I made glow with Temple Guard Blue. I also gave the claws holding the hammer head the same glow, to show that the weapon is definitely powered.
I considered just making the model's hair and sideburns blonde, but ultimately decided to make them grey instead. I wanted to show that the mohawk isn't a phase among the Sky Warriors, though it may well be a sign of unusual ferocity, which would explain why it's so common among the Blood Claws.
I decided to give his armour's collar some decoration in Wolf Guard's colours. It's also pretty similar to the pack marking I chose for the Shieldbrothers, making it a good fit.
There's still space for another four Terminators aboard the pack's Crusader (which I may have to post about at some point), but after this one, just adding the Pack Leader and Arjac would already make a respectable-sized (and very expensive, points-wise) formation. I think I will end up filling the transport, just to have that option, but I will consider the formation to be "ready" once the pack leader and Arjac are aboard.
