Captain

[FallenLion]

People who complain that a sculpted chest plate is artificier armour are just being pedantic. It's just a game, there are much worse ambiguous statements in the rules and clear oversights that might deserve a bit of emotion.

 

In regards to the conversion. It looks to me to be quite a simple kit bash from the new ba boxes and commander box set. Easy enough to pick up those from bits sites. Shouldn't be too expensive, probably in the wrong hobby if a £5 kit bash is too much. :lol:

 

Haha I'm 16. I'm not in the wrong hobby its just I have about a dozen marines to paint + Dark Eldar Wynches and Kablites and I have no cards or accounts on any bitz sites. Or an ebay account, I would have to use my parents which would be fun. Its not so much the cost its the effort of buying all of them separately :P

I love to Kitbash stuff that I have already e.g. spare heads and torsos etc. But buying them separately seems more effort that the captain is worth >.<. If this was for a chaplain or a librarian then I'm all for it ... but a captain?

 

Its not the money its the effort [16 remember, we are inherently lazy].

 

But seriously all this arguments about artificer armour vs sculpted power armour seems silly.

1) explain that it is or isn't to a player and 98% it will all be fine

2) if it matters that much to you then don't use the sculpted torsos just by standard marines / Mk VIIs

Eh, in a way I feel like the effort is negligible. As a BA player I buy DC and SG boxes for the parts anyways, cant say I've put one whole model together out of either box. I also buy command squads and commanders for special weapons and parts. For 15 bucks or whatever it is now 17? The commander box has plenty of parts you'll use across your army. I understand if it SOUNDS like a lot of work but assembling that model will probably take five minutes if you have to shave mold lines. But that assumes you have all the parts on hand, which I argue you should. Or at least get them as money allows and put aside the parts.
