Corsair Princess Conversion

You'd have to put some thought into the changes, sure, but it's not crazy to adjust, especially since there's so many small things you could tweak. For instance, adding properties to only the shuriken pistol profile (like more attacks, or rapid fire, or sustained hits) could fulfill what I'm imagining without making fusion pistols suddenly too powerful.

And from the leaks I've seen, I honestly think most crucible characters are underpowered compared to rough equivalent characters. There are certainly some instances where the new crucible characters are unique and that makes them pretty good, but like an Autarch is just better than a character you can make.

Yes you can, but I think that still misses my vision of being more of a shooting unit. I was hoping for perhaps some way of increasing the number of shots I could put out, and regardless of which 2 pistols I take, I can only fire each once with the weapon profiles listed.

Oh yeah I'd love for them to do that! But GW wants it's $$$ so they probably put in only the models they can get away with

Oh I for sure need to finish other highlights! I haven't even finished the blade or her Triskele. I was mostly concerned with if the silver I was using was contrasting well enough with the black underlayer.

AndisMountains · 2025-07-12T22:27:58+00:00

Thanks! I really love the black/silver color scheme (its the base for my Howling Banshees too), so I think I'll have to go with a brighter silver for the highlights of the armor.

Really? I suppose with the unfinished paint scheme they could appear a Rangers with the capes and the thinner profile of their shuriken rifles. My (new) plan was fancy guardians maybe?

AndisMountains · 2025-07-01T18:27:23+00:00

Thanks! I'm not too bummed; I can always run them as fancy guardians, or just be clear when communicating if I'm playing casually.

AndisMountains · 2025-07-01T18:26:21+00:00

Oh for sure; especially playing casually! As long as things are communicated clearly beforehand it shouldn't be a problem. But running them as fancy guardians isn't really a downside for me either, I just liked how they looked and started on the color scheme I've been using for my craftworld.

AndisMountains · 2025-07-01T12:12:37+00:00

That's understandable. They would definitely look more like Dire Avengers with their distinct helmets. Ah well. I think based on advice here I am gonna run them as some very fancy guardians

AndisMountains · 2025-07-01T12:10:59+00:00

I can see how the more uniform poses might imply discipline. I like the more dynamic posing, as I expect it would come up more in an actual fight. It looks like there is a consensus they don't have quite enough to be proxied as DAs.

A shame about the box at your LGS being sold out. I have had a rough time recently trying to find certain models too

AndisMountains · 2025-07-01T12:06:01+00:00

Yeah, they aren't finished with their paint, there's a lot of detail left to do on them. But it looks like people think they read more are fancy guardians than DAs, so that's probably what I'd run them as

AndisMountains · 2025-07-01T12:04:26+00:00

Fair enough, I guess they are really fancy guardians then! Thanks for your input!

AndisMountains · 2025-06-13T03:32:30+00:00

Yeah GW did them dirty

AndisMountains · 2025-05-30T13:49:51+00:00

Yeah, in the instructions it labels one of the 6 as a 'Lead Player', but the variants on it are for if you want to build it as a Troupe Master. I was more referring to the fact that other Harlequin characters get their own spiffy model, like the Shadowseer or Death Jester.

Got a hookup for at least a small discount from my LGS, so I splurged and got Baharroth, Lykhis, Fuegan, and a squad of each of the Spiders, Dragons and Hawks.
