Pbenner Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hello Brothers, How many of you actually attach the Cod Piece to your terminators? Paul Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245349-terminator-cod-piece/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazzy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I used too...until my girlfriend asked me, "Why is his :D hanging out?" It was really awkward,and since then, I no longer use cod pieces.

Droma Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have them on a couple sergeants but otherwise I don't use them. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245349-terminator-cod-piece/#findComment-2968138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

he_plays_guitar Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 What piece is the cod piece? I dont ever recall attaching anything to a terminator other than glueing the top two halves to the bottom legs. But then again I havent bought a box set in forever. What does the cod piece look like?

Pbenner Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's the small armor plate that is supposed to be attached to the groin of the model. They look semi-tacky to me. The honors are not great, but better than the cod pieces. I think I may put one on a Terminator Sargent and call him "Johnson" Paul Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245349-terminator-cod-piece/#findComment-2968260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I never use them. I think they look a bit silly, and the older metal terminators never had them.

Droma Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It seems like they're supposed to be for dedicated close combat terminators as even on GW's website those are the only terminators pictured with the codpiece.

Tengo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I find it weird having to paint the groin bump as it is, I was drybrushing my test terminator yesterday, and his groin was still a bit chesnut heavy, so I had to really scrub it with bleached bone and just thought "Well this is awkward, should I like, buy you dinner or something?" The cod pieces don't even fit on that well and they just look out of place. Oh and, best thread of 2012.

Viridia Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 ? Are you guys talking about the armpit armor bit? Cause there arent any codpiece add ons.... The bit that goes on the shoulder is much more 'shield-shaped' and mostly curve-inwards to my eyes, whereas the codpieces are curved outwards and are more rectangular.

Do space marines even have genitals? The way I understand it is that while they do have genitals, they lack a sex drive. I think in Horus Rising when Loken sees Mersadie Oliton for the first time that she looks attractive but then mentions that she's either one of the few women he's ever seen or that her head/skin colour is really unusual to him. I can't remember the exact wording, it's been a while since I read it.

Isiah Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 OK let's not go down the genital/sexuality of marines route please. ... and no I don't use codpieces either personally or on my models :jaw:. They look a bit awkward as a design if you ask me - a heavy gorget (upper chest/throat piece) might have been a better item to include for assault termies. Oh well.

Viridia Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Personally I have no idea how to even attach them to the model. I suppose with some filing they could be used as elbow protection on elaborate models.

Cheers I that's a shame Isiah, I always imagined you to be wearing a very bold and striking Cod piece... I mean, they offer a level of support that you just can't get elsewhere! they're just really awkward bitz in general, not GW's best brainwave to date. Has anyone found any good uses for them? the hoarder in me is screaming to shove them all into my carefully categorised bitz box, but the sensible voice of Spock is just asking "But for what purpose?"

Jimmy Carmine Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I suppose with a bit of work the big one could be a combat shield for a power armoured marine.

Vazzy Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well after consulting with my group, the only one who uses them is my Black Templar friend, who claims he has to protect his "Righteous Fury".
