Inquisitor Rex Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 So your average priest doesn't have to hold the Blood Chalice- he can use a sword and pistol The Termie either has to hold the Chalice of Blood (same thing I know, but not sure they meant it that way the way it reads), or have the Chalice and an empty hand- What are people doing for this? Stormshield arm w/o the shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaz Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I don't get it, why does the termie priest have to hold the chalice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 The rule book says ' Replace all wargear with Terminator armour with Chalice of Blood (errata-ed to Blood Chalice) and power sword.' He can take nothing other that that. Storm shield toting priest would be epic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaz Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Yeah, but since it's regular wargear you really don't have to put it on the model, everybody knows he has a chalice. A termie priest could run around with two empty hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Chris Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 My WIP priest has the terminator narthecium from the Grey Knight terminator set (along with other bits like the power sword). This set also has empy hands (one pointing, for instance.) According to our codex, the narthecium has bits of the chalice of blood in it. (Our codex says Narcethium, but I'm sure that is a typo...) There was a conversion in WD using the Corbulo Chalice. A blood chalice is the piece I would most like Forge World to make for us, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 This is how I did mine. I used the chalice from Space Hulk and one of the Space Hulk terminators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 And mine was even simpler - AoBR termie sergeant, cut off the storm bolter and add a Grail. Though I should say, the end result is lacking a bit in gravitas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcatus Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 So your average priest doesn't have to hold the Blood Chalice- he can use a sword and pistol The Termie either has to hold the Chalice of Blood (same thing I know, but not sure they meant it that way the way it reads), or have the Chalice and an empty hand- What are people doing for this? Stormshield arm w/o the shield? I'm sure you know that the "Chalice of Blood" was given an errata in the BA FAQ, changing the wording to "Blood Chalice". That being said, the fluff text on page 48 does point out that every Narthecium has a shard of Chalice imbedded within. Therefore, you could use the Grey Knight Terminator Apothecary Arm if you don't want to model a Chalice. They're relatively easy to get from bit sites. I prefer the Bitz Barn. For my own Priest, I used a metal GK Termie, spruced him up with BA bitz, converted his psycannon arm into a Narthecium, and gave him a Space Hulk Grail to hold in his Narthecium hand.

vharing Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I plan on getting a few GK termi boxed sets and using some of the bits to make a few priests in TDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate you for your awesomeness... :lol: Neh I'm joking, looks awesome! I myself made my Sanguinary Priest in TDA using a Grey Knight force weapon and narthecium (if that's spelled correctly.)
