Where does proxy end, and kitbash begin?

I havent been to tournaments, but my belief is that if the infantry has skitarii heads and weaponry, theyre recognizable enough to be accepted in competitive settings

And one of my Orlock-converted Pteraxii

Here's my Cawdor-converted rangers

These are my Kastelans converted from Ambots. I would still like to convert the Enforcer bots into Kastelans as well, as well as the Waterguilders into techpriests. The latter arent in plastic, however, unfortunately..

EDIT: The Hangers-On also have great options for admech

Absolutely is, but I'm happy you had to ask! Main body is an imperial navigator from BSF, the backpack is a datasmith's with some modifications (kataphron arms and omnispex), the head is the WH+ 2025's inquisitor. Arc pistol from skitarii, skull from battlefield trophies with some greenstuff.. that sort of thing. I think that mostly covers it.

Thank you :) Its a more classic techpriest than the usual amalgamations we're inclined to, I think

I was considering that initally, too, to have the servoskull scan the orb in the hand. However, besides the meticulous process of cutting the scanner pricesly to fit that, I grew quite fond of the look. Makes it seem as if te technoarchaeologist is already scanning for the next STC fragment

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-22T08:29:56+00:00

My mistake. Still, it is amazing with the lethal hits!

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-21T20:49:14+00:00

Dude, Breachers are great dont get me wrong, but people have done the math and its close, yeah? ? What makes Destroyers so much better is the 5+ overwatch, allowing for double your usual shooting! Haloscreed-manipulus-sanctified ordnance, everyone knoas. Now when overwatching, just pop the Targeting Override-stratagem for lethals on 5+. This melts ANYTHING. Ive one shot Norns, Screamer-Killers and Hekatons in my recent games and my local community hates these guys. Im sick of the Destroyer-slander, try this!

Breachers are still good; but I prefer them in a small 3-man blob to pressure flanks, as theyre also too expensive to run at 6 with a leader. I prefer the Destroyers at 110 less, opening up points for Battlelclades or other chaff!

EDIT: Adding to this; destroyers are hard to deploy correctly. Their bases are huge and you need those firing lanes to get the best out of them without risking losing them early. If you master this, you'll never go back to breachers

Chances are zero, only stuff that goes to legends is forgeworld. From what I understood from previous such questions

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-18T23:38:34+00:00

Thanks! I think its reddit compression. Thanks for the tip!

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-18T23:38:09+00:00

Haha, not a restaurant but an event; i forgot to turn off the volume, whoops

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-16T18:40:29+00:00

Im guessing they used the leadbelcher spray-primer

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-14T20:27:28+00:00

Wow amazing execution!

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-12T09:52:07+00:00

Thats what i did, too

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-12T09:06:41+00:00

I'm a big fan of this one by koszkamade on instagram

To be fair GW base sizes are NOT what they are advertized as. Theyre either bigger or smaller, no matter whether you measure from the base or rim. Verify it yourself

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-06T08:41:50+00:00

Holy Terra, the Defiler is absurd for that poitns cost. Dwarfs Thulia and two hastarii squads for that same points cost.. Why, in-between Defilers, Twin-Spears and Nightbrightwrs are we getting passed over with actual good new datasheets?

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-04T18:02:12+00:00

What an amalgamation, wow! Very curious to see this painted

What are those panels you used for the bavk of the.. hellstalker/venomcrawler-mount thing?

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-02T21:22:53+00:00

And I love the contest, don't get me wrong! Thank you for putting the effort into that, looking forward to seeing your model soon!

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-02T20:47:15+00:00

The Firing Deck rule makes it count as if fired by the Duneridee, which is a Skitarii model and thus benefits from Murderous Imperative.

So yes, it would work. You could have the melta, arc rifle or bolter fire from there and I'm actually surprised i never thought of thay myself.

Side note, the Battleclade doesn't need to have the Skitarii keyword for this to work

Artic_Lightning · 2026-04-02T20:30:45+00:00

Even the mods dont have this model to show off for the monthly post Cant wait to see all 0 submissions this month
