Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Sweet! But of course, illegal. It is too big. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223909-rune-priest-and-cos/#findComment-2677525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

old git Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I don't see that as illegal. The chooser can't be bigger than the priest and they are both 28mm models. The fact that the chooser model is based slightly higher than the priest means nothing, and extraeneous features such as wings don't count for LoS etc. For me the size thing refers to the scale of the model, meaning you can't have a normal (ie power armour) sized rune priest model and a chooser that is, say, termie sized or bigger. The only criticism I can think of is that the chooser model doesn't feel wolfy, if you know what I mean.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I don't see that as illegal. ???? ROFLOL. The chooser can't be bigger than the priest Right, and his is taller and wider. By a large amount to boot. As the chooser isn't a unit, but a piece of wargear, all your other silly rationalizations don't fit.

By a large amount to boot. As the chooser isn't a unit, but a piece of wargear, all your other silly rationalizations don't fit. The 28mm base is still there, so I just measure from that. (the extra width comes from a washer I added for stability). Also, I don't see how the wing span comes into play? And as for height - if someone really complained I wouldn't mind measuring from her hands or something. I really didn't model her thinking "hurr now she can see everything hurr."

But again, the thing is wargear, not a model or unit or whatever. It is sensible to say the wings don't count, you'll measure from the base... but those are restraints you are imposing on yourself because you broke the only rule for the Chooser that there is. There is no "don't count the wings on the Chooser" or other made up rules. There's one rule, which you broke. I personally wouldn't care about your model in a game, provided we went over everything first, but if I was running a tournament, no way. It is clearly way bigger than the Rune Priest, which as an explicit no-no. Oh yeah and this: And as for height - if someone really complained I wouldn't mind... is making you look REALLY bad. No one should have to complain. You should go out of your way to tell your opponent that your Chooser will be treated as no bigger than the Rune Priest in every sense. You are the one in the wrong, so you should take it upon yourself to clarify and fix your rules breach. Don't wait for someone to complain. Jesus.

MaveriK Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 easy Fred... hold your composure! DapperDave didn't come here in the Fang to be outright burned. --EDIT-- If you have an issue with his Chooser, then I'd suggest you talk about it in my recent thread that talks about Choosers! it's one of the reasons why I created it... because you can, and mainly because DapperDave created this thread just wanted to show us his creativity and model.

Mac the knife Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Your RP and CoS are top notch brother! Don't pay attention to the nay sayers its an impressive mini and i highly doubt anyone would say anything unless your were outrightly trying to powergame.

Jonny Wolf Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Great Chooser! I like it. ;) Oh, @ Fred - I'm using a Warhound titan with Cherub wings on his back as my chooser.

Blarmb Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I must say, I like the trim on the backpack exhausts/ports that match the company shoulder badge.

robertlee Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The CoS doesnt look wolfy however, she could always be a slave from your Rune Priests own personal Saga. Unless you are planning to take this army to a tournament I wouldnt worry about the size issue. The painting looks good and I hope you post some more stuff soon.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Sorry, Fred, I gotta say, this is what you're reminding me of:http://www.fmgold.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/walter-sobchak.jpg Of course I remind you of the best movie ever. As I am the best ever! <_< In any case, when you break the rules, it falls upon you to make things right. You don't wait for someone to "complain" aka point out your technically illegal model. Be decent, and explain things up front. Then it is all good.

Thunderhawk3015 Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Ignoring the one naysayer were have here I have to say that is an awesome conversion. On the subject of illegal, last I checked there was also a hobby aspect to this game where those of us who are so inclined can let our imaginations go to create cool stuff. Jumping all over someone for an "illegal" model is quite simply poor form. Fred your reminding me of "that guy" who tries to rules lawyer everything under the sun. Right or wrong illegal or legal, the conversion is nicely done and painted and that is what Dave came here to show off and kudos to him for an excellent conversion.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Notice my first word in this thread was "Sweet" in reference to the Chooser. Notice how I also said I would have no problem playing against it provided we went over the rules first. So I don't what the hell you're thinking, but you obviously didn't read the thread carefully.

Decoy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Cool mini, plenty legal by definition of the rules (considering there's no Chooser model), plenty fluffy and well-sculpted. Good model, Dave.

Stormbrow II Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 plenty legal by definition of the rules (considering there's no Chooser model) When you try to take a jab at someone make sure you have your research done first - Fred is right when it says it should not be bigger than the Rune Priest. Page 36 of C:SW says 'This marker must be smaller than the Rune Priest model and cannot be destroyed.' If playing strangers/tourneys you might get raised eyebrows when you plop it down first. Saying that you shouldn't have problems though - just measure LOS from a pre-agreed point (I'd like to think she would be able to throw lightning bolts from her hands) and that should be as far as any problems go. Despite the above its a very nice paint job and I like the uniqueness of it although I don't think I could sully my Wolves with a lady's presence though. They have cooties.

Muller Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I hate rule nazis, but this model is a clear violation of the only rule regarding the CotS model, as long as the MODEL is larger than the runepriest MODEL it is an invalid CotS as per GW rules. The rule does not refer to base size but model size. It's nice to see someone not doing a bird, pole, or a servo-skull however. But in all honesty it could (and should in my opinion) have been done correctly following the rules if the model is ever intended to be played with.

saintgeo23 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Space wolf's eyes seem to be larger, than they are and a little bit crazy. Try to not to use white for painting eyes. Well, it is quite good paintjob! Very nice. I like color schemes.

dublindawg Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Absolutely lovely models. I would have no problems seeing those fielded across the table from me in a battle.

morehardcore Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 find a large graduated clyander fill it half way with water and put the rune priest in, see how much it goes up. do the same with the Chooser, whichever one made the water go up more has a larger volume Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/223909-rune-priest-and-cos/#findComment-2699124 Share on other sites More sharing options...
