JBW Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Anyone know of a sprue or non-GW (shhhhhh) bit that could represent a Crozius? I'd like to create my own BA Chaplins as I don't particularly care for the ones GW currently makes. For that matter it wouldn't be a bad idea to know where a Skull helmet could be found, but it's less of a requirement than the Crozius. I have looked through the sprue threads but have not found anything yet. Thanks in advance! *I did find this but from 2007 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=117743 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228949-diy-chaplin/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 You can build a crozius with GW bits, too. Just take a plastic Space Marine arm holding a club/axe/hammer or a banner pole. Cut down the top of the club/axe/hammer or the pole and attach the Imperial Eagle banner top from the Command squad on top of it. You can find skull-like helmets among the heads for Chaos Space Marines and on the Command Sprue of Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Warriors. Hope this helps. EDIT: Saw your link. This guy: Click this is doing exactly what I mean ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228949-diy-chaplin/#findComment-2745347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Might I suggest maxmini for the skul helmet - they do a compatable sprue which has the equivalent of a skull helm, skull shoulder pads and a skinny skull baton thing that I suppose is meant to be a crozius... I must say, however, I only like the shoulder pads from that sprue. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228949-diy-chaplin/#findComment-2745449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBW Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks peeps. I think I'll go with the command bits. This is what Olisredan is talking about. Have to say I agree. http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main...;products_id=58 Not sure if any of these would work... http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main...;products_id=86 http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main...;products_id=55 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228949-diy-chaplin/#findComment-2745463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Y'know, I don't think I've ever owned an actual Chaplain/Wolf Priest figure, I've always converted them lol. But seriously, if you take the iron halo off a termie sarge & a power axe, lop off the axe head just above the bottom power cable point & attach the iron halo then stick a couple purity seals & other flashy bits on there it produces an excellent crozius.

armbarred Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Chapter House does a skull helmet that I really like. I actually just got one to put on my Brotherhood Champion. The Chaos Terminator sprue has a skull shoulder pad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228949-diy-chaplin/#findComment-2745702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The thunder hammer from the Wolf sprue works quite well when the tips are filed down. It's nice and thin, and shaped well.

JBW Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 have u tryed using the power mace from the dark angles upgrade spur Oooooh! I think i'll just attach the skull/wings to the top of the mace! and maybe try to remove the sword/wings from the wrist. Thanks for that tid bit! That would def make the Crozius appear that it actually is a power weapon, and can bash a helmet or two. I'm trying to decide on a fluff based DC army. Depending on how many models I end up fielding I will paint them Encarmine (white). I'd appreciate any feedback on the two lists I'm considering. Thanks for all the help. This forum has been much more help than all the others! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=228404 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/228949-diy-chaplin/#findComment-2746688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
