Replicant Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I was thinking tonight at work (sloooooow night) and was thinking about trying to join a defiler and the talos/cronos set. The questions are: 1) Is it possible? 2) Would it look terrible or good? Anybody else had any other ideas to freshen up the defiler kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Caerolion Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 They're on different scales, so I doubt it would work, without looking grossly misshapen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 No, putting a defiler torso on the talos floaty tail and flying base would look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Aside from the scale issue you would also have to take into account that the Defiler is all armour plates, and the Talos is mostly flesh. Serious greenstuffing and converting would be required to make it look decent. Rounded (Plasticard) armour plates for the Defiler (shoulders mostly) might help. Then you have the scale issue to contend with. My 2 Kraks PS. I've been building an alternative Defiler, maybe I should get off my arse and post some pictures.

totgeboren Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I made a variant, just using the Defiler set and some plasticard+greenstuff. http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i95/totgeboren40/Daemons/Kameran198.jpg http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i95/totgeboren40/Daemons/Kameran200.jpg The only hard thing to do might be the head, which require some sculpting skills, but other than that, it's just repositioning of stuff really. Oh, and the small legs at the front are also home-made, but they are not crucial for the conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer le Boucher Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Well i used the Talos as a Blood Slaugtherer conversion. And i can say that if done rigth the Talos body can be used in place of the turret,but then you have to place the battle cannon some other place. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/2205/img1198he.th.jpg http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6082/img1199y.th.jpg Here's an example of what i did. http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6494/img0988a.th.jpg http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/4348/img0989o.th.jpg http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/7964/img0990e.th.jpg I did put the battle cannon on a different place on each of my Defilers,to give them each a unique look. One's is on a scorpion tail,one's is on a Arm/Shield and the last one is under the Skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replicant Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Yeah, that's what I had meant about adding the upper half of the Talos to the chasis of a defiler. I just was thinking of making some sort of Fabius Bile themed thing. Lol. Any other good kitbashes for the dark gods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 loving those defilers guys and brother nihm we got to see what you have in store for them,so dust off the camera. ;) the one thing i love about chaos is thinking outside the box and you guys certainly show that. i personally agree that the two kits have a major sizing issue as it was something i was considering before i moved to different directions,two of which i will show you now ,the first was to use the defiler legs and remake a body http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/DSCN0145.jpg and the second was to use the talos size and tentacle legs creating this http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/daemonclaw/DSCN7120.jpg as you can see the second is about the size of a talos and a good deal bigger than the first attempt although despite the sizing issue slayer has done an awesome job :wub: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
