amrogers3 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 You guys think these would make some good pre-heresy wolf scout conversions? Would have to remove heads, change out couple of the weapons, and make a few other adjustments.

morehardcore Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 theyd need some fairly major work, new guns, changing heads, removing chaos symbols, and swapping out that banner for something. that said at the end of the day the mdoels are beautiful but it think after making those changes they will look quite similar to regular "normal" scouts only more expensive and more conversion. that said i think you could do a fairly good job if instead you used the chaos marauders box and box of scouts compared to this. then again that is more expensive but in the end its all about how much work you put in to pull it off. i think you could do a very beautiful conversion with those guys just not sure its worth the time.

amrogers3 Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 It definitely would not be an easy task, thats for sure. I have been kicking around idea of chaos marauders for scouts too, although the Chaos Renegades would make for some unique models. But like you said a lot of conversion work.

Wulfebane Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I can see it happen, but honestly, the only thing I can see you keeping that won't get shaved off or covered with GS, pelts, totems, etc are the legs which are essentially identical to SM scouts and/or catachan models. Doesn't seem worth it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227996-scouts/#findComment-2731702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyld Fireblade Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 What about using Forge World's Elysian Drop Troops for scouts? They shouldn't need much more than a head and weapon swap.

Sarapham Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 What about using Forge World's Elysian Drop Troops for scouts? They shouldn't need much more than a head and weapon swap. They would be way too small, they are even smaller than normal GW guardsmen and a Wolf Scout is a full grown Astartes even though in carpace armor.

Olgerth Istaarn Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Wouldn't SM bolters be a bit too big for Elysians? I have a couple Elysian heads (scored in a grab bag), and they are small and delicate. If the body is proportionate, SM bolters may be too 'uge.
