ChainsawDR Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Greetings brothers! I have never converted any models before and I am looking to make the following model... Wolf Priest with Twin Lightning Claws, Healing Potions & Balms, Runic Armour, Iron Wolf Amulet. I have a 1500pt army, and I have decided to create the following 500pt squad to bring it up to 2000pts: Wolf Priest with Twin Lightning Claws, Healing Potions & Balms, Runic Armour, Iron Wolf Amulet. WGBG - TDA, PowerFist, AssaultC WGBG - TDA, ChainFist, AssaultC, Runic Charm WGBG - TDA, Twin Lightning Claws WGBG - TDA, PowerW, StormS WGBG - TDA, PowerW, StormS Drop Pod - Total - 500pts It's a points sink but it should be pretty indestructable! I made the list last week using Army Builder, and I chose Runic Armour over TDA because it wouldn't allow something (I think it was Healing Potions & Balms). I have absolutely no idea of models to use for this, primarily because of the Runic Armour - is this this size of standard Terminator Armour, but with Runes on it? If so I was thinking of using the following model... http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1240709_99060101148_SWrunepriesttermarmourmain_445x319.jpg if not I have this model... http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1240764_99060101241_SWrunepriestmain_445x319.jpg ... but would appreciate any thoughts on other models to use, I don't mind going out and buying 2 or 3 other models if there are better suggestions. Thanks for your time brothers. ChainsawDR Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168659-never-converted-before/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrik Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 the chaos marine box has a nice skull head if you want to give him a skull like head, simply cut out the inner teeth to give it a fang like appearence and voila! runic armour hasn't got any model for it but in general it's more ornate painted runes on it would work fine too hope this helped Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168659-never-converted-before/#findComment-1990055 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester262 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 both of those guys are actually rune priests. The one in terminator armor would be hard to convert to get that helmet off since it has a psychic hood on it. The second guy I think would work better since, like hendrik said, you can paint runes on it and add some trophies and such to make it more ornate.

G. A. K. Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The only model I know of with runic armor is Njal. Hes in regular power armor but it has runes on it, pianting runes works too. Also, the HP&B can't be selected with TDA, only PA (or Runic Armor). I wouldn't think you have to have a skull head, just paint him in black armor without a helmet and it will be obvious who the priets is. That way you could use mostly plastic pieces because they are easier to convert than metal. Metal can be used but it takes more green stuff and a lot more patience, not quite the medium for you first convertion work IMO.

Thanks for your post GAK - I have a Njal model, I might even consider buying another and performing a conversion on it.
