Castlerook Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Like the title says, I need some opinions. Currently working on a tank hunting Night Lords squad, and the champion will be armed with a power weapon. Now I thought about using the powerfist that comes in the boxed set, but then I remembered I bought an Ork Battleforce last summer, and the power claws that came with it look pretty brutal. So I worked on a conversion, lemme know which ones you like, or just tell me what you think. One last thing, both weapons change the pose dramatically, but the poses in the photos are just extremely rough work. So, onto the photos Ork Power Claw http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/PaulC1984/Chaos/S5030445.jpg Chaos Power Fist http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg111/PaulC1984/Chaos/S5030446.jpg Any comments or criticisms would be extremely useful. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hmm, the power klaw looks cool itself, but i think it is far too big. It might work on a terminator, but not on a regular power armored guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It is rather on the large side, and it really doesn't look Chaotic enough (yet...) for a Champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konskrypt Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The claw would look better strapped to a termie i believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castlerook Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Yeah, like I said, its only a rough piece, but the more I look at it, the more I think, it would be much better on a terminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mertio23 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The claw would look better strapped to a termie i believe My opinion exactly. The standard Chaos Marine sculpt is unfortunately just too small for the Ork Power Klaw, whereas the Terminators are about right. That said, there could possibly be potential in this if you decided to go "true scale," IMHO. Please correct me if I'm wrong! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 If you did the arms armourless like some of the WE Ive seen with the claw it might work but for standard armour its too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blood_raven_240 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 The Ork Power Claw gives the Champion a sense of uniqueness, I'd stick with it as the conversioin is pretty impressive looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castlerook Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 Cheers for all the comments guys. I'll use the normal power fist, the idea being that while the squad will be after tanks, they'll also be in the middle of killing some Imperial Guard. The champion will be lifting a Guardsman by the (broken) arm, and after doing a dry run with both weapons the power fist looked better as it actually looked like it was gripping the arm. I will however be using the power claw for a Terminator (he'll be loosely based on the image on the Terminator page in the Chaos Codex). So, once again, thank you very much for all your help, its been very useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
