Charlo Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 With their surge of power in the new codex. How are my fellow bright spark adepts getting the most out of these electrifying kits? £25 for 5 models is shocking to say the least and leaves a lot of spare parts for more guys. I've seen Empire Flagellents used but I'm not sure the look they end up with gets my voltage up... Any other ideas?

Thorakitai Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) I'm using genestealer cult neophytes as the base for my corpuscarii, with spare vanguard heads. I vaguely recall getting the idea from someone here, but I can't find the thread now. I blame being on my phone. Anyway, this gets me 20 electropriests for about the price of 15, plus a bunch of cool parts for other things.

Charlo Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 That is a SMASHING idea... Lot's of weapons leftover for Necromunda too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I used Flagellants for Staff priests, it's not perfect due to the huge arms and hands and the bodies look abit weedy compared to the proper Electro priest models but it will do. You'll need Greenstuff to fill the arm/ body gaps. I'd post a pic but they are only primed and awaiting their allocated time on the paint conveyer.

Riot Earp Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 A cheap solution could be Bloodreavers from aos. I made good aberrants conversions out of them and could think of them as bulky priests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathorCake Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I made my 20 Fulgurite Electros out of AoS Kairic Acolytes. Build them, chop off all the Tzeench iconography and the shoulderpads (although I left some bracers and greaves here and there because they would have been hell to remove) and augment them up. I mostly used Kataphron Arc and Hydraulic claws as augmetic punchy arms, but as I was short eight of those I also turned the barrels of some Breacher Torsion Cannon into lower-arm replacement Power Fists, gave one guy dual Chordclaws for a Wolverine-pattern Servitor and did a couple with dual Taser Goads. Admech has plenty of suitably augmetic heads, too. The hood-down Skitarii ones, Kataphron heads, a few Ruststalker gas masks here and there and I had 20 decent combat servitors. The idea is that I use Stygies tactics to Infiltrate them in, which represents my various Magi inloading scrapcode to local manufactorums and such and turning the workers inside into surprise shock troops. Combine that with the choking fogs the bio-phage bombardments my fleet uses create and you have enemy forces that appear suddenly from the mist, energy weapons blazing and drawing just enough firepower for their own servants to stab them in the back. banis 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only have my prototype so far but now with Corpuscarii seeming to be an interest deep strike choice I need to get a move on as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhivan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 While I haven't started my Admech army, I have been eyeing getting some Electro-priests and the Dark Elf Blackguard have caught my eye. They have robes (armored) they have Halbered (electro staves) and are sized similarly to the rest of our units. Add on a Skitarii head and you should be good. Bonus points if you go the extra mile to make them Imperial and use Tempestus Scion Torsos though. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Dark-Elves-Black-Guard-of-Naggarond https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Militarum-Tempestus-Scions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Well here are my conversions but the bitz are not easy to get from one bitseller they are a big mixup from what i had anyway. I got the staffs from ebay the legs and torsi from spellcrow. Some torsi are from puppetwars bikers som are from skitarii vanguards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xisor Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I've got my flagellants-meet-priests up to a 'reasonable' standard. Not perfect, but I'm impatient enough with sufficiently low standards that these will do just fine - more, I'm really pleased with them! Also, makes 15 out of one box of each, so not too cost inefficient, and they're vastly more varied than the EP box.

Vel'Cona Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Awesome work, Xisor! I'm seriously impressed with the amount of effort that you put into these conversions, but the results speak for themselves. Hope they slay many techno-heretics! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhivan Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 (edited) Snip Interesting idea... Maybe slightly too armored though? I wouldn't really think so, look at Dark Eldar bits and they have dudes in full plate armor that are still a 5+, which works with the Electro-priests 5++ (and a 6+++ FNP if I remember correctly) rather well, and once they kill something they have a 3++ and feel awfully durable then. (Plus you can get 10 blackguard for 50$ instead of 5 priests for 41$) But in the end it's just a matter of personal preference Edited September 29, 2017 by Rhivan Charlo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) Aye they'd look like a Pretty sinister set of priests! Going to give it some thought though buddy! Someone online has used them as Solar Aux house guard and it's great. Edited September 30, 2017 by Charlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancerusso Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Bloodreavers look good due to base size being the same, but you'd have to chop off all those khorney bits- good thing the epriests boxes are a dual build kit, so plenty of spare epriest weapons and accessories and power plants. Flagellants look great too but look a little scrawny. Their variety is great, especially that flagellant in stocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Kairic acolytes are a much better base model to start with than blood reavers since they have very few tzeentch details that have to be removed. I'm currently working on some sisters of slaughter in order to make female fulgerites. Ill post pictures when Im done.

anarchistscourge Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Has anyone actually used the kairic Acolytes for priests yet? If so any chance we can get pictures?

Riot Earp Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Yeah they ate a lot of firepower but i got them three times in melee so im fine with them. I also got one time the 3++ which isnt helpfull if the enemy has wyverns. Edited November 13, 2017 by Riot Earp Vel'Cona 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
