Emperors Immortals Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 TDA priests, wholly BA and we all love 'em.Now the GK range can provide us with a Narthecium and also all the bits well ever need to scratch build Libbies and Inquisitors. Anyone else as excited as me? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224406-anyone-else-excited-about-gk-conversion-opportunities/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Yellow Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Can't wait. Really struggled not to pre-order the lot today. @ Chaplain Gunzhar. It's the third photo of GK termies. Bottom right guy.

Fishbone Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 At the moment I think I gonna buy a few Grey Knight's to convert them into a Termie Sang. Priest and an Honor Guard. And I'm pretty sure I find a use for the leftover NFW's^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224406-anyone-else-excited-about-gk-conversion-opportunities/#findComment-2683492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother-Captain Lucius Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 The range is pretty tasty, I'll probably pick up 1 of each kit and use the dreadknight as Mephy :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224406-anyone-else-excited-about-gk-conversion-opportunities/#findComment-2683527 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losfer Werds Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Had trouble finding the Narthecium myself, looks like it's got a chainfist built in to it as well. Anywho, was that Dreadknight not one of the single most awesome models GW has produced in a long time or what!? Since the GK get to borrow our Stormravens, I think they should let us have a few of those.

Emperors Immortals Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 Im also going to be able to finally start to get teh last of my "Seige of Vraks" models done - GK and Inquisitors!!! The dreadknght i think is pretty nice, but i think id replace teh marine with either the cockpit from the SR or a dreadnought sarcophagus.

Iron Father Rik Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Had trouble finding the Narthecium myself, looks like it's got a chainfist built in to it as well. All nartheciums (or narthecii?) have that wee chainblade attachment. It's on the power armour one too in the Space Marine Command Squad box. This one is just bigger due to it being on terminator armour.

Venemox Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I so thinking about theat Dreaknight sword as a furioso Libby force weapon mod. Just put it into one of the fists from the Ven Dred kit. I saw one that ahd a weapon from the fantasy minotaurs done that way.

Bonzi Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Does anyone else think that the Dreadknight is what all Dreadnoughts should look like? I'm seriously wondering about the viability of converting Dreadknights to Furiosos for my BA army.

Whitefireinferno Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I fully would hate to do that Bonzi But then again I just hate the Derpknight model and fluff behind it. Oh and you do realise it is mounted on the Oval base and is about twice as tall as a Dreadnought.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think I may end up buying the termies purely for the bitz. A Deathwing Command Squad is lurking there, waiting to be found.

Julius Firefocht Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think it would be a great idea to buy some Grey Knights to form a small army or detachment in Apoc games. After all, Blood Angels and Grey Knights did cooperate before.

IronKobra Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The model kits look brilliant! Very nice kits indeed. Hats off to GW for producing another awesome line. The character models are very impressive too...But I'm not a fan of the dreadknight things. I don't know the fluff or anything behind them, but they remind me of those things from the Matrix film :devil: but its scale is definately impressive!

Whitefireinferno Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 IronKobra you are better off not knowing... but yeah With a box of each you will end up with 13ish nifty helmets and around 30 something power weapons and thanks to them loosing detail from the Metal minis lots less work needed to convert them. and Now people have no excuses to not have fancy personalised Libbys :devil: other than that I have little interest in the Knights and Now might as well start a wolves army due to TWM have now been knocked off the stupidest thing in the game tower Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224406-anyone-else-excited-about-gk-conversion-opportunities/#findComment-2684008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Fellas, stop discussing that mecha baby holding ape :devil: As for using gk bits to convert libbies. What bits are you taking about? Nemesis weapons? Books from tda gk? Condom-shaped caps like those of medieval knights? They don't have plastic psychic hoods and wired chests like libbies do. So there's not too much conversion potential imho. DC also has nice bits, BA-themed bits :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224406-anyone-else-excited-about-gk-conversion-opportunities/#findComment-2684026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's not too much conversion potential imho. DC also has nice bits, BA-themed bits :lol: They also have a couple of staffs on those sprues that would make cool force weapons, as well as the bladed weapons. Much of the parts are more ornate than standard power armour bits, which helps for librarians, and as you said there are books and such too. You could make a librarian just from Grey Knight bits, but my plan was to mix these bits with other Space Marine kits to create some character models. I'm viewing these kits as sprues of bits to mix into my models, rather than as complete models (unless I start a Grey Knights army, or switch to that codex to represent my daemon-hunting Exorcists).

Haunter! Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Those helmets are beautiful. Totally grabbing a box of PA GK for those, the halberds, and the thunder hammer.

AngelOfDeathXIII Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 That Dreadknight is quite awesome.. I'm thinking of buying one and converting him to a Blood Angels Furioso Dread (By using bitz from the Sanguinary Guard, DC and Baal Predator) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224406-anyone-else-excited-about-gk-conversion-opportunities/#findComment-2684045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isryion Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Some cool stuff, but I'm more excited about hopefully this meaning there will be fewer BA players.

Rybnick Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Personally I think the Dread Knight is HORRIBLE looking, I can't believe so many people like it. Also what strikes me as funny is that I loved the Storm Raven when I first saw it where most people hated it. I guess I'm just weird like that.
