Praetor with Paragon Blade from the Boxed Set and Points Costed

The first praetor that I constructed from the Horus Heresy boxed set was the one with the magnificent paragon blade. 

The construction of the praetor was mainly straight forward with all the pieces having very obvious locations to slot into. The grooves and notches helped immensely with positioning for this. Of course, the avid converter could rearrange the poses, but for me I wanted to keep to the original pose. 

Arguably the one part of the assembly that is tricky is the relative positioning of the cape and the back pace. I would strongly advise dry fitting this to work out the angles involved (i.e. the angle of the back pack to the cape) as its not overly obvious from the construction guide. 

Overall this is a wonderfully dynamic miniature to have and to field. So much so, here's a possible build for it in game:

Praetor, with Master Crafted Paragon Blade, Volkite Charger (162 points).
This is a fairly standard load out and represents the miniature well enough (although note the other blade at the right hip which could also be represented). I've gone with master crafting - just because.
