Drudge Dreadnought Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 There's already a captain box: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1050240 I don't see why they'd make a chapter master one since they get all the same gear. Of course, the captain box doesn't include a relic blade or storm shield and these are the most common wargear for captains/chapter masters. But it's not that hard to get those either. Most people are using assault terminators, so you can get a shield there. For a relic blade, you just convert power swords. There's also the masters of the chapter box, which come with a power armored size storm shield and an axe large enough to be considered a relic blade. What would you want a chapter master box to have? And what are you having so much trouble with?

Rider-75 Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 first: why is this in the hall of honour? next: the commander box plus a few bits and pieces is all you really need to do a chapter master in PA. if your looking for TDA then try calgar as a base, or even Lysander Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209915-chapter-master-box-set-idea/#findComment-2504072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 $800?!? What were you using all FW models? Just take the Captain Box, and start kitbashing it with all kinds of different PA sets. I mean, I dont know exactly what you are looking for, but just take a look through the Sprue Thread that is stickied up top. You might find something cool in like the DA Veterans sprue, or the BT Sprues, etc etc....

Brother Karr Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Its not a bad Idea, but It could use a bit more fleshing out. The Commander Box set is Ok for what it is, but a chapter master kit should come with a bit of variation. 2 or 3 different styles of artificer armor, Unique weapons and add ons. Also add a Decorative suit of Terminator armor. Yes I know you can use the Captain box but its a bit boring. On a side note, a Librarian plastic box set would be awesome. But that is another thread. But I have to say I would by a generic Chapter Master Kit. So I say don't just dismiss this idea. Its valid wish listing.

Spacefrisian Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 If their was a topic for epic fail (spending 800 bucks for a kit that could have costed less than 20) this should be in it. But for now you have to do with this... http://rob.nu/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/facepalm2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209915-chapter-master-box-set-idea/#findComment-2504653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epistolary_Kalphanian Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I have to agree with the above. $800 is absurd. I may spend that much on the Chapter Master, Master of the Forge, Master of Sanctity, Chief Librarian and full terminator command squad I'm working on at the moment, but even that would be a stretch. There are countless models out there to choose from, and if you were paying so much and getting nowhere, one would normally think that maybe it'd be best to attempt the venture another time? Have you asked staffers for any help? What I do is actively plan out what I want in a character. For example, I have just recently 99.9% completed my Chief Librarian for my Praetors of Orpheus. I need a specific left shoulder pad and a proper scenic base as he will more or less be ready for undercoating and painting, etc. So what did I do before this? I spent about 3 days sketching out what I wanted my librarian to look like. I searched for space marine artwork from Games Workshop (look for Clint Langley's art, I find that to be my favourite by a long margin), particularly from the codices. I took a lot of inspiration from the Blood Angels codex for my Praetors, even though they're a different chapter altogether. There is never too much planning than can be done. Once you've planned out what you want, getting parts and constructing a model shan't be so wasteful.

Hemal Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 The Masters of the Chapter box is EXCELLENT. Added to the fact that you can easily swap out the weapons held by some of the models for alternatives - from the plastic or metals bits sources as appropriate. There are dozens of models I have bought that can be "mangled" or "munged" together to make a chapter master. I am using the Master in Iron Armour with PFist and Sword for my Chapter master model in my command Squad for Demon, but I added some sculpted work on his cloak to make him a bit more personalised. You could use the follow bits of which I have bought ALL excet the Termies box, and could conceivably come up with at least 10 credible chapter masters....: 1) Captain box au naturel - or at least for a lot of the components 2) Veterans from the 1st or second Veteran Squad box - I love the Vet Sarge with the HUGE Power Axe (also part of my Demon entry) 3) Blood Angels Sanguiniary Guard (for some of the fancy pants and helmets) 4) A cloak from the Empire General (who has an excellent Runefang that can be a great relic blade as well and a nice big hammer also..) - I ended up using this cloak on my High Elf Prince instead, but its an alternative 5) Bitz from the Dark Angels box and Black Templars Sprues - conceivably you could pick these up for < £30 for all the best bits 6) SM Command Squad (Combat shield, champion bits etc) 7) Terminator Squad box 8) I have used some brass components on backpacks for my commadners - bought some 1:100 scale brass covers (manhole covers etc) and have used them to add a gothic effect to my marines. I also buthcered an old mechanical pencil and tool part of the mechanism for the a flaming torch powered from teh backpack to add that bit of baroque, and used some skulls from my WHFB skellies to replace the exhaust vents on another model... 9) The masters of the chapter box - with its very cool bits and some really nice touches on the models 10) The Sternguards box - I love teh bolters and I reckon the Sternguard with PFist is a credible honour guard member and can even have teh Power Fist removed to be added to a Chapter Master if required Overall cost is sub £300 for all that lot, yet I have at least a few dozen squads and innumerable bits to use this on.

Chapter Master Furious Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 ya i guess i was a little going over the top with the idea, but why doesn't GW just beaf up the captain box set that would be a good idea.... no? just a thought but for my "NEW" and "LAST" chapter master project i am just converting the master of the chapter (master of the arsonal) box set to suit my chapter master needs sorry if the this was a bit of a stupid topic i guess i showed look more into some of GW space marine products (maybe master of the chapter boxset and a space marine commander or something) anyways thanks for the comment Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209915-chapter-master-box-set-idea/#findComment-2506090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 At most, all you really need is the commander, the command squad, maybe a dark angels box, possibly veterans and/or the masters of the chapter, and a bike if your doing a bike captain. Also, with these, you get at least 15 extra guys + bits. If you use vets and m of c that's 24 awesome models with awesome bits.

Korloth Darkwolf Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 There are numerous ways to produce a PA wearing Chapter Master using bits from all over the place, but what would be nice is for GW to release a plastic Captain in Terminator Armour (akin to the Chaos Lord Box) with a load of options to produce Librarian, Chaplain or Captain with several weapon options.
