Hey guys, so im on a termy trip at the mo with my BA.

 

Ive only had old school terms - and theyre ugly as hell when compared to the SH terms ive done.

Now, those models can still obviously be used in space hulk.

 

However, im wanting to rock assault terms.

 

 

Now, ive just bought a box of assault terms.

So, question is - do i hack up the remaining space hulk models and make assault marines from them and the assault marine box or do i just use the models i got in the box?

 

I dont really play SH at the moment (/at all)

Chop 'em if they don't get used. (I think the sgt character makes a very nice first company priest)

 

Don't chop 'em if you're already proud of them enough to display 'em.

 

You'll be proud of 2 boxes of assault termies if you add some DC/sang bling and you paint 'em to the same standard at your SH minis.

Or, grab (and bling) some AoBR termies from someone and use some or all of the 20 arms in the one termie box for them (5LC/5THSS).

Chop 'em up you know you want to, its what I'm planning to do lol

 

Have you got all the Space Hulkers? 'coz Sgt. Gabriel and Brother Claudio can be used as is (unless you go for all TH/SS of course, but Claudio is too nice to leave out imho)

What you have already look great too :)

My personal vote is not to chop--I love those models way too much.

 

Besides that, though, I have just three quick questions about those bases:

Are they premade or are they just GW 40mm bases with wire mesh added?

What material did you use for the extra chunks sitting around, is it just corrugated cardboard?

You mentioned that they can still be used in Space Hulk; since the 40mm bases don't fit on that board, how are the terminators attached that they can be taken back off?

Thanks. :)

My opinion is to not chop them up. I have seen the price that the space hulk termies go for on ebay and who knows if you will want them in the future or not? Just go with the standard assault termies and beef them up with bitz/green stuff.

I wouldn't chop them up, instead I'd suggest replacing the squad Sergeant with Gideon and using the leftover Terminator model to act as a Sergeant for the other squad of Space Hulk Terminators. Of course making the other Termies look as good is the real challenge but it gives you three effective squads of Terminators.

Hey Mort I say don't chop. I do feel It would be more awsome if you just got the Assault termie box and get a set of AOBR termies because all you need to do is Tart one up to be the Last of the Shooty Termies and the other Basic ones can get arms from the Ass termies and the AOBR squad leader could make a decent Preist.

 

So it would end up

9 Space hulk termies with guns plus one AOBR blinged up to fit in so 10 all up

 

The 2 Hulk Assault termies the Box of Ass termies and 3 AOBR and again 10 all up

 

And the AOBR termie captain = Termie Sang Preist.

 

Kinda what My plans are since I have 3 copies of the hulk 2 are still Sealed but one is open for use.

Don't chop them!

They are so beautiful models. And now I can't bear the fact that I didn't bought them when they were available.

Managed to get Claudio and Scipio and still looking for Gideon, but he seems out of reach.

Don't make my mistakes :confused:
