Grail Knight Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Hello brothers the rules for astorath are awesome, but the figures is to chaotic for my taste and army... he looks to me more like a khorne champion than a blood angel... so far, I've been used a saint celestine figure as 'count as' but I want another model. any ideas? thanks!

Roachboy Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Sang guard with the 2handed sword(looks better than the axe in my opinion) = close enough. thats what i've been using Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202600-any-ideas-for-an-alternative-astorath/#findComment-2414411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I made mine out of a Sanguinary Guard using the two handed axe. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202600-any-ideas-for-an-alternative-astorath/#findComment-2414420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Requiem of the Wolf Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks what do you think about this guy? http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/ange...detail/14080_ds Im not familiar with who Astorath is,but that is one heck of a cool mini,and would make an awesome Blood Angel character.

Grazcruzk Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I was running into this same problem. While the winged jump packs look great, they are a little bit too flashy for my army. I was thinking a tooled up chaplain with either a 2h sword or axe and jump pack would also work pretty well.

The Crimson Cartel Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Thanks what do you think about this guy? http://www.reapermini.com/OnlineStore/ange...detail/14080_ds Actually own that mini. Been Thinking of him as Sang.. But he is a little skinny. Good model tho Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202600-any-ideas-for-an-alternative-astorath/#findComment-2415116 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysteriousmaskedmystery Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 it's a nice model, but i think it would make a crappy looking space marine.

daboarder Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've got a sweet conversion idea but odds are it's not even going to be close to astorath as its for my successors. Just got to wait till I can afford it now.

Grail Knight Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Thanks for your answers, brothers I've been looking for some GW models, and Kosarro khan is the only one with a two handed sword Maybe him with a jump pack could fit in my army, I'll tell you later if it works.

KhorneHunter57x Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 The Vanguard Veteran Sarge has a two-handed sword, and with a little converting would fit well. Another thought is the Black Templar Emperor's Champion mini (he only wields his sword in one hand, but it is big enough to be a two-handed sword. Also, his rules are close to Astorath's). I actually converted Astorath with a different helmet, no wings, and the Emperor's Champion's sword for use in my army.

Grail Knight Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Kosarro khan does not work... but the emperor's champion sounds like a good idea, I'll check it out.

fivepointedstar Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Grail Knight: Both Mini's of Khan, and Emporores work with a little conversion needed, but the reaper mini would better suit a Inquisitor, not a SM. It looks awesome but i agree it a bit to squishy looking. heres's a good alt mini too... use the Sanguinor, but replace the sword with a axe, cut or, take out the grail in left hand, and -walla- a less chaos-looking astorath. Its the idea im doing for my Dante mini Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202600-any-ideas-for-an-alternative-astorath/#findComment-2416788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
