This is the last of my "beakie" space marines that I have gotten from
various job lots. And it's not enough to make two sets of ten, so I decided
that I can do an industrial level of rhinoplasty as an extension of my prior
one-off beakie conversions.
Side by side, they're not to different. After I completed this project, I learned
that the beakie doesn't have the mohawk on the top of the helmet. Not sweating
that.
Since they paint up really nicely as woodpeckers. I am happy that I could find
a distinctive and recognizable paintjob instead of just brown things with beaks.

As I have used distinctive birds in the past. Who know what will happen
if I get my mitts on another job lot of beakies ...
I had avoided crows and ravens so far simply because ravens would be just an
all black paintjob and crows would have a little yellow, but not much else.
However, some flas came to me that I could use gold metallic for the crow
effect and use matte sealant on the marines and gloss on the weapons (and a
couple other bits) to break up the solid black without over decorating them
and losing the crow effect.
The banner with an aquila on it was just a bonus.
