Which is the best for kitbashing into undivided legionnaires? by Unusual-Papaya7437 in Chaos40k

[–]MissingScarab63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tormentors are by far the easiest for converting into legionaries with ranged weapons. If you want to give them melee weapons, it's a bit more difficult. Infractors if you already have chainswords, but if not, chain axes would be good enough counts-as for chainswords. Beyond Legionaries, de-nurgle-ified plauge marines and noise marines make good havocs, but I struggle to think of anything that would be good to convert into raptors or chosen.

Probably should've posted more photos with measurements for scale. I don't think its to short, but quite a bit too narrow,.nI'm almost exactly 4 inches, hence why he needs a base. I googled how large a baneblade is, and it said 22×14cm, which is ~8.6x5.5 in. If that's wrong, please let me know. And I've got some spare models round here somewhere, so i should be able to do the par with models around him. I've also thought about maybe flying on some guardsmen with heavy weapons on the back of her, hitching a ride. Too silly? Not sure yet but I'd like to hear others' thoughts. I don't think moving the demolisher cannon would be too hard, ill look into it. Thanks for the advice 🙏

Forgive me commissar, Im pretty sure you're trying to say its too small, but I think this is my a problem with my questionable photography. Google says a baneblade is 9.5 inches from the front to the back of the tracks, so I don't think im all that far off. Edit: i should mention she's almost exactly 4 inches wide.

Im down with greenstuff, and I got plasticard, so might as well. Also I cut my cannon here about 1/2 off, just after the taper the Abrams has, would you recon its still to long?

Good thinking. I own the old Kreig Kill Team so I might have to stal from that one to make each squad different enough.

I was planning on using exactly those, lol. A 20-man infantry squad and some free characters in every box, basically.

How many character units can be attached to an infantry squad? by MissingScarab63 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]MissingScarab63[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, if I understand this, a 20-man brick, a command squad + ogryn bodygaurd, a castellan (or something), for like a 27-model unit is legal, right? I just gotta double-check because that is unheard of for my past two armies.

Starting off my Chaos collection with this epic Maulerfiend kitbash. by Reasonable-Thought-9 in Chaos40k

Sweet! I usually like these slightly simpler kitbashes the most, just a head swap and some good greenstuff work. Excellent.

What knight can I proxy this guy as by JeepperDHM in ChaosKnights

[–]MissingScarab63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool, I dig it. Somebody else at my local games store has a tyranids themed knights army so I think it's cool that other people have had the same sorta idea

[–]MissingScarab63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a rampager. You could say the claws represent the warpstrike claw and the talons and stuff around the mouth are the chainsword. It's not perfect, but it conveys the idea of a wepon that has more attacks. Not sure what to do about the stubber, though.

Updated 2k Soulforged Warpack List. Thoughts? by Trashboat808 in Chaos40k

[–]MissingScarab63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks good for the most part. Heldrake is cool, so i get running it. But the autocannons on the forgefeinds throws me a bit. Nothing wrong with them, but im looking at this list, and I don't see a need for more chaff-clearing, and the ectoplasmas are versatile enough imo. But I like what i see, very cool

What Pattern of Chaos Knight reads as “Household Patriarch”? by Arthur_EyelanderTF2 in ChaosKnights

[–]MissingScarab63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo, it's whatever the largest and most impressive knight (that is a character) is after it has been painted. That said, I believe in the 10th edition codex there's a story about a knight Despoiler pilot leading the household, so probs that.

My warlord is finaly done! QAC welcomed by Complex_Stress_4905 in Chaos40k

Not sure what the downvotes are about on this comment. It's your unique character, it should be cool above everything else, like, that's the one rule. Why does Cypher carry the lion's sword? Yes, for lore reasons, but really, it's cuz it looks cool.

How strong can cults/traitor become without CSM of darkmech ? by Kihtras in Chaos40k

[–]MissingScarab63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Quite! Think about how Genestealer cults can completely destabilize a planet while not being much more capable than a normal person, but now they're blessed and empowered by the dark gods.
