Safara179 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I am starting to collect a Dark angels army I bought assult on black reach as a friend wants the orcs and was wondering if i should put them together as is, or wait untill i get a dark angels upgade pack? I wont be painting them untill i put the upgrades on, but was wondering if its harder to upgrade once the basic model was built. Any advice would be awesome.

Gurth Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 If you want to add parts from the upgrade pack, then I would suggest waiting until you get that: if you have to remove parts from a model that were separate to start with, you're making things difficult for yourself :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224266-question-about-customising/#findComment-2681562 Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I'd say build em and use them without too much DA embellishment. Save the fancy stuff for characters, elites and squad sgts.

Master of fact Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 The assault on black reach marines are not designed to work with the upgrade sprue. You could use some bits but bolt guns shoulder pads ect wont fit. The upgrade sprue is made to go with the standard marine box. Hope this helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224266-question-about-customising/#findComment-2702427 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use some bits but bolt guns shoulder pads ect wont fit. The upgrade sprue is made to go with the standard marine box. Hope this helps I have to second this and say that it seems an odd thing to ask if you should use an upgrade kit on minis that are in reality no more then three moulded pieces of plastic with the weapons and the backpack being the only elements that can be switched around. To be able to use the upgrade kit on the marines in the AOBR set you'd need some middling skills in customising to be able to chop the things up. Keep the marines from the AOBR as a basic tactical squad and just buy a basic box of tactical marines to use the upgrade kit with and save yourself a right ruddy headache in the long run.
