Gumo9 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Evening all ! Just finished painting five assault terminators (3 with claws and 2 with TH/SS). I've got a Stormraven ready to build so I intend trying out the Raven to deliver these guys. Potentially I can squeeze in another two independent characters in Power armour (was thinking maybe Librarian and Sanguinary Priest) or one more in terminator armour. But then a thought struck me... what about a sanguinary priest in terminator armour? I have the bits to pull together a suitable model and I think it would look really cool, but would it be worthwhile in game terms? Has anybody tried such a combination and is it worth the points? Also, has anybody built a priest in terminator armour? I would love to see pics before I build mine. thanks everyone. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Adams Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It would deff. be more survivable, however you could for cheaper keep him in PA and leave him in the SR when the termies charge, making his bubble measured from the SR hull, giving you a pretty large area, as well as keeping him from being singled out and killed. Would save some points, but its all up to what you want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERZERKER! Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hey, lets be honest, the Priest in TDA looks awesome, and you dont need a better reason to put him on the table. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/1107/img0387e.jpg http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8504/img0389xd.jpg I built this guy last year, probably not long after the BA re-release. I'm happy with how he turned out. I've yet to paint him, and will probably add a few more detaily bitz 'n' bobs before im totally done. Hope this helps!

Brother Nathan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 personally id go with corboulo... 2+fnp dude... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crynn Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If your willing to pay for the terminator armour, You might as well pay for extra points for Corbulo who is significantly better. To be honest priests in general are great but as IC's they suffer a lot and add to kill points. Presonally I'd jusst find a way to put in an honor guard everytime. It is by far the best way to get a priest in the army. Regards, Crynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicksy Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I love em because they look cool! Hee's mine: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b81/spwicks1980/Sang_priest.jpg I made him from a Space Hulk termie, the space hulk chalice, a thunderhammer arm, a power sword and the narthacium from an apothacary. Corbulo is better but the look of all those termies in a squad is well worth it. Extra cool points for a termie chaplain aswell :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crynn Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Mate, I play the game like it is chess, but even I will say that you have done a fantastic job there and I too would use that priest irrelevant of Corbulo being the better choice. 1, Congrats on noting Corbulo is the better choice and still following your heart. 2, Congrats on such a cool termie priest, best one I have seen.

Chaplain Gunzhard Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hey, lets be honest, the Priest in TDA looks awesome, and you dont need a better reason to put him on the table. This... also yes, please explain how you did the SP arm; it looks like resin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 looks like the normal pa apocathary arm, trimmed at the wrist, added to a termie arm trimmed to fit. Is actually fairly simple to do, as long as you're careful and think about what yr doing. Does look nice tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERZERKER! Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 where did you get that terminator priest arm? Haha, I made it. That bit, i was extremely pleased with, as you can barely tell it was two pieces. The trick is to position it so it looks natural. The apothecary arm has a big hand anyway, so the proportions are ok. It isn't resin, it was jst an old Apoth arm, and the plastic casting was less advanced back when i got that one. In fact, i think i've been inspired to finish painting him, so... watch out for the end result. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother_Mike Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well, if you were actually planning on using your Priest for combat, you can't go wrong with giving him a 2+/5++ save. I'm sure you could convert it up to look really cool as well. But, I would rather keep my priest out of combat, so the points would be wasted were I to give him Terminator Armor. Hmm...you could try this though. Take 2 Priests and give them Terminator Armor and teleport them in where you need a FnP/FC bubble, but then again you could take a JP and be more accurate when you DS. I dunno, do what you want lol.
