Space Marine Captain Box + Jumppack

[tkis]

I am planning a conversion model of Blood Angel Chapter Deathwatch Assault marine , as a birthday present for a friend. I would really like to personalize, custom build and paint the model for him, instead of just picking some vanilla metal model. The captain box has a lot of options for that, however no jumppack parts, is there a feasable option for jummpacks, without having to buy the whole assault marines box ? I can not wait for a mail order from various bit suppliers, as a have just a few days left.

Look on bits sites, I got a few forgeworld ones from bitsandkits.com ages ago (the red scorpions one with the eagles on the turbines)

The packs look awsome ^_^

If you can't wait for a bits order and need a jumpack fast only thing i could think of is hope your local store has one in their bitz box. Failing that, maybe one of the single metal models might have a jetpack at a relatively cheap price, chaplain with jumppack comes to mind. Other than that you would need to buy a whole kit, if ya do, i'd recommend getting the death company kit becuase the bits are awesome.

Well it seems like i will have to buy the complete box after all. Death company box is a nice idea, which i was playing around with myself, however i will hardly use any of the leftover stuff there, too much Blood Angel imagery on all the pieces. So a box for a single jumppack then :) hoped i could circumvent that.

I still think the death company box would be a better deal, just for the different poses the arms and legs allow vs what's in the regular assault box, the saber like power sword, and the totally awesome thunderhammer. The arms really do provide a way to personalize marines that can't be done without much fiddling and cutting with the regular boxes.
