RolandTHTG Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Has anyone used the Forgeworld Techmarine model? Titan Techmarine How does it compare sizewise to the standard techmarine or normal marine? Is is close enough to be fieldable as a Techmarine? I'm planning to get a Techmarine for my Grey knights force, and I'm not really satisfied with the regular techmarine model.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 It's a techpriest, not a marine. Just a normal human with bionics. So no, he's nowhere near a techmarine. You could probably get by with it, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234523-forgeworld-techpriest/#findComment-2823213 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thade Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 It's a fine counts-as; as has been said, they're fluff-wise very different. A Techmarine was sent from his Chapter to Ad Mech to get trained/indoctrinated and returns as both a biologically enhanced marine (more hardy than a techpriest) and a tech-savvy savant (he's technically more adept than a tech priest as he can think faster). BUT Nothing says that tech priest can't be an exception; possibly he has cybernetic implants that improve his Toughness to 4, etc. :) He's a fine counts-as.

AnDyzZzoRe Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Obviously because of size difference and lack of power armour it doesn;t really work for counts as. HOWEVER I have cut up the techpriest to make a custom techmarine, and it looks awesome! the hooded head plus appendages and doodads really help in creating an individual tech-marine, and I would definitely suggest you do the same if you are interested!

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Actually, the techpriest is wearing power armor according to the IG codex, and that looks similar enough to the GW model.
