OH! Captain, my Captain.

Not terribly. They're slightly larger than normal maybe. I've actually never seen a LC made PA sized. So I think they look fine. About the size of a normal power fist just with blades on the end. I'll post a few pictures of a couple marines I made with converted LCs in a bit. You can judge for yourself.

The only PA LC I've seen is the one in the Captain box.

I would really appreciate seeing some pics of your models with TDA LC's on PA marines.

I want to make a VV and CC HG with LC's

i'd go with some elite chaplains! But yes- twin lightning claws and jump pack on the captain.

I see what you did there!! Clever.

 

Does anybody have any thought on putting a Captain in TDA?? I see that it is inferior to a jumpy cap'n, but I suppose he could be good fun in a termi squad...

 

Emperor's Immortal: How would you equip the HG?? 5xMelta?? I like this idea, as I am currently running a Mech list at 1500 (not for this side tourney, mind you.) and have been thinking something along these lines would be quite good.

 

End of Line

 

 

Well, i usually keep them fairly bare-bones.Storm bolters and 2-3 meltas will fry almost any squad, and the capt can then be used for LC duty or given a plasma gun and power sword for extra dmg.This is of course not tournament competitive but just really fun.

 

TDA is great, i run a TDA squad regularily with attached SangPriest TDA.They can hold a table quarter and teaming up with a tac squad is very effective.I think i wrote a small tactica on nit somewhere actually.Of course twin TH looks amazingly badass, but id usually take power sword and storm bolter.

wouldnt those be overly large? the termi lightning claws are huge!

 

Only a bit larger, you won't see the difference actually. Here's an example:

The left one is the TDA claw, while the right one is the Captain Box claw. I actually like TDA one better. And the Captain's claw didnt fit the JP model due to large shoulder part, so I had to cut it down the elbow and replace the shoulder, so it resulted in the same amount of work as I did when converted TDA claws :)

Here's some pictures of some recent VV and sanguinary priests I've made with LC's. The two VV also have converted assault terminator storm shields. I think the LC does look a bit to large on the metal SP. He was the first model I converted with an LC, and I don't think I chopped his arm off close enough to the elbow, so it looks a bit long. I think the rest look fine though.

 

Sorry for the lighting on the pictures, I just took these with my phone real quick, I'm scrambling to make this post before I have to go to work, hehe.

 

Picture of all four. Two VV and two SP.

Hopefully you can see the claws fairly well from this angle.

Anyways, hope that helps, if you want some better pictures of the shields as well just ask and I can try to upload a few closer up pictures of them. I don't think they look terrible with the terminator bits.
