Olgerth Istaarn Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I want to buy the set of these: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...MUS-ARMOUR.html I am building some special characters and I want them to look unique, but not completely archaic; and I like the look of angular kneepads. However, I will be using plastic torsos, and I'm concerned. Forgeworld models are often more delicate than plastic models, size-wise. This wasn't the case with Sevrin Loth's honor guard (torsos and shoulderpads were just the right size to coexist with plastic), but I'm not so sure about the Maximus armor. I don't want my special characters looking like cartoony barrel-chested strongmen on thin legs that are ready to snap under the weight of the body. Does anyone have experience of mixing the plastic torsos with FW legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I mix 'em a lot, and I've never had too much a problem. Only thing to remember is that the Mk. IV Maximus plate was more form fitting and high tech than any other suit prior to it's development and afterwards, due to the general decline of technology in the Imperium. The legs will look a little thin, but it is how it's supposed to look. Honest. :rolleyes: Another option is to take the marine with Mk. IV legs from the AoBR box, and cut the buggers legs off. Worked pretty well for me Fella on the far right...hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
