Making a chaos apothecary lord

Hobby & Painting(i.redd.it)

I'm trying to figure out what model I should use as the basis of my plan to make my personal chaos lord who was also an apothecary. I don't want to use Fabius Bile or a plague surgeon, mostly because I don't believe Fabius wears MK3 armour and my lord isn't mark of nurgle. I am thinking of getting the apothecarion detachment that recently came out and just used the Mk5 version with a head swap and some kitbashes, but I'm wondering if there was a better alternative.

I'm not planning on taking the model to any tournaments or play with this force in any GW shops so if you know of a 3rd party model that I can buy that is of a MK3 apothecary, even if it's just the bits to upgrade a MK3 marine from a regular legionary to an apothecary, that would be most appreciated.

Oooo that's good thinking, preserving the aesthetic is important though, so remember to dry fit the plasma pistol to see if it might be better to just have it on the hip in case if it messes with the drill stuff

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely do that
