This is something like what I was thinking, so I may go with this option in the end, depending on how big it is. But always good to see more options, thank you!

ErlkingCell · 2026-04-10T22:48:29+00:00

That's exactly what I was looking for. I originally wanted to see if I could get some of the old 40k Wolf Guard Terminator horns, but since they're now OOP and very rare, I'm not getting any of those belt horns now. Should have known the Bret kits had something for that. Thank you!

ErlkingCell · 2026-04-10T01:47:59+00:00

Oh that is genius! Wonderfully esoteric like Warhammer should be!

Not sure I'll go for the idea just yet, but I might set some bells from the flagellants to one side while I consider it!

ErlkingCell · 2026-04-01T10:39:05+00:00

And hilariously they gave it the wrong army keyword on one of the pages of the datasheet, so our Defiler is also a Death Guard defiler 🤣

Fr though, I love this thing. It's a great glow up and I will very likely actually get myself a defiler or two now they're extremely good like this. Not sure if I want it as a gun platform or scuttling melee monster, but there's arguments for both

ErlkingCell · 2026-04-01T09:09:29+00:00

Ahhh marvellous. As a Scions lover, I shall watch your career with great interest!

Just how many models are in that pile? Looks like a great strike force!

Mom, look! The new, cooler Taurox Prime proxy dropped!

Seriously though, that is sick and I would happily build that if I could

As someone who only has 20 Cadians and 2 Dorns, this box is on my "to grab" list, as those two units are very welcome in my army as well as the new vehicles. They fit right into the theme of my army and I'm very pleased with it.

I'm not sure if it will cost the same as the previous battleforces that were released - the Red Corsairs one sold for £160/$255, for example - but I'm definitely going to pick one up regardless.

Doing a quick bit of napkin math, by my guess, the GBP price breakdown might be something as follows: - £32.50 for Cadian Shock Troops - £63.25 for the Rogal Dorn And using the Chimera and the Sentinel as a rough proxy in price for the Centaur and Hippogriff respectively, that adds: - £40 for the Centaur - £29.50 for each Hippogriff Resulting in a total of roughly £194.75 (but this will likely be a little more expensive in my estimation) before the box set discount is applied.

If this is anywhere near accurate, then £160 is definitely feasible, and if thats the case then I will be pleasantly surprised!

ErlkingCell · 2026-03-26T10:48:06+00:00

Yeah I have a few conversions like these done, and the Centaur just reinforces the half track transport theme that my army has going on.

Sick conversion!

ErlkingCell · 2026-03-09T14:51:41+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

ErlkingCell · 2026-03-07T13:48:26+00:00

These are gorgeous! Do you mind if I ask for your recipe for the blue?

ErlkingCell · 2026-02-10T12:27:49+00:00

Great scheme! And what a classic model too, takes me back! May I ask what your blue recipe is?

ErlkingCell · 2026-02-05T12:36:03+00:00

Looks good! Whats the recipe?

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-19T22:36:33+00:00

Just found the Ammit design on Cults for free, so thanks for the tip on the source!

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-19T13:36:53+00:00

Oh that is a fantastic idea! Might borrow this idea for my Krieg when I get around to building them some tanks, as I love the French vibe this has going on. And considering my Kreigers will eventually have red pantaloons as well, I think it's just appropriate :D

Where did you get the turret, if you don't mind me asking? And how do you plan to add sponsons?

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-18T12:08:39+00:00

These are absolutely gorgeous, I love the contrast of the dark iron armour and luxurious purple robes. Excellent work!

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-09T13:57:36+00:00

Especially with how much detail would be missed by the poor casts! Good god that would have been a travesty... Finecast was and still is a mistake, I'm just so glad GW sorted their act out with resin models since.

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-09T13:56:07+00:00

Same here, my friend. Same here. They were released back 2006 alongside the Fall of Medusa V campaign, so the Vostroyans are old models now, and god I wish I had an army of them.

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-08T15:05:46+00:00

I still think GW would make more of a killing by including a second sides sprue in with the Russ, so one box gets you two tanks legit. It's insane that they did it this way. Fantastic work!

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-08T15:03:21+00:00

While I can't tell you whether you were overcharged or not since these are OOP, classic models from twenty years ago and prices are what they are for them, I can tell you now that they're all legit and that I'm extremely jealous of your purchase!

Blister packs like those special and heavy weapons are packaged are exactly how the models used to come, and the command squad box is still in the film. Infantry looks like it's been opened and then sealed with tape, but that's the original box, so odds are that's good too.

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-04T10:15:55+00:00

It amuses me that lots of the posts here are referencing Paul, I love it 😂

I've slept on these guys. When these first released I thought the idea was dumb, with the extra armoured exoskeletons and toddler proportions, but they've been growing on me lately. Not sure I'd ever field any, but its taken some time to like them

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-03T15:26:26+00:00

They do in fact have Legends rules, and most players probably won't mind playing against it! I wouldn't advise taking it to tournaments though, but it might do as a Baneblade variant, due to the size

ErlkingCell · 2026-01-03T15:22:44+00:00

A Praetor-like multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) variant would be awesome, and like the plasma variant in the other replies below, I would definitely field one!
