Kristoff Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 With Raptor models not being replenished at my LGS, and the metal ones being reknowned for being top heavy, I'm looking at ways of making some "plastic Raptors" from combining several kits together, or just getting one box kit and getting upgrade parts for the jumping parts. What are your opinions for either of the following combinations? Chaos Marine boxset with Possessed Bat Wings? Khorne Berzerkers boxset with Marine Jump Pack Upgrade sprue? Or reversed? Or am I better waiting for the new plastic/resin models (whenever THOSE show up)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blamb Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 i'd suggest a legs and jump packs from the assault marines and the rest from CSM box. the berserker modles don't all have running legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I don't really care about having running legs on them, so that isn't as much of an issue. What's usually the best Icon to run with these guys, CG, Khorne, or Slaanesh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer le Boucher Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Zerkers+Possesd sprue with Nids Gargoyles wings. Thats what i did: http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6374/img0994wd.th.jpg http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/8702/img0996m.th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 A variety of bits (chaos, SM, SW, BA, Kroot, Iron Warrior sprue etc), pretty much whatever I had laying about, with a few raptor jump packs mixed in to give 'em that pre-heresy look. Used a few of the SM plastic Jump packs too (sadly don't have pics on hand, sorry) and they turned out pretty well. And I always run Glory Icons, it's done me well in the past. To be honest though, raptors are ridiculously overpriced, and mine only show up in Apoc games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 If you have the time and want a more renegade feel you can use plastic card on loyalist jump packs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hey, They are scratchbuilt out of 2nd ed. and Necron bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcap Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I used regular CSM and gave them Sanguinary Guard jump packs (sans wings). They look cool to me, and the mono-thruster jump pack makes them look different than loyalist assault marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 For my scouring-era night lords I used the mono-engine jump packs from the sanguinary guard as well. It looks great, though not the same as a typical raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
