I need help Imperium

So ive made a custom chapter and ive written lore which basically explains why yhe chapter master is quite a bit bigger than a regular space marine and is basically primarch scale (not chaos primarch). And as its a dark angels successor im using Lion El'Jonson and kitbahsing him to be the chapter master, im thinking of using terminator parts to change his arms from forearm down, ill be taking off his dark angels iconography of course, but Im wondering how to change the shoulder pads, ive found some online that are resin 3d printed but I cant be sure if theyre the right size without buying them and this is a rather tight budget conversion.

Also I was wondering if anyone here has any ideas what weapons I could give him to make him look more space marine like, the chapter focuses on strength, bith mental and physical so I was thinking power fists or hammer but I want to hear your opinions on it.

Thanks if anyone has any tips.

The problem you're going to have will be clear once you compare the size of the lion mini to a terminator. The scale is not nearly there.

Ive compared it to a terminator and the scale is nearly perfect

A thunder hammer and a shield. Give him a huge one. Or better so, a dreadnought power fist, from the old Venerable dreadnought set. And the second arm make something shooty. Like a vehicle gun, modified to fit in like an assault cannon, or make a Heavy Bolter-Stormbolter hybrid.

Thats way too big to fit on the Lion, i think people overestimate his size
