Rune Priest Ridcully Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I'm thinking of converting up a raptor Squad for my Thousand sons, I've decided to use these heads http://www.puppetswar.com/product.php?id_product=102 from puppets war for them, with the exception of the Sargent/count as aspiring Sorcerer) who would either have the anubis helmet or a mkII/III helmet converted to be Thousand Sonish. For the rest of them I was thinking using either the MKII/III or MKV armour with either the metal raptor jump packs or ones from Maxamini that are similar to the ones int he FW assault squads. I have just though I could just use the helmets with Forge world Assault squads, but am not sure about wherever it is worth the extra £11 as I am not sure which jump pack would look best. So what are people's opinions on the Assault Squad kit against the respective armour mark "tactical" set? and which do people think is more likely to look better?

Kierdale Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Let me get the options straight: A. Horus heads, FW tactical marine bodies, raptor or maximini jump packs. B. Horus heads, FW assault marine bodies, FW jump packs Right? Well, to start I must say I think those Horus-heads would be fantastic on some raptors. A great idea there! I suppose what bodies to use depends on how you intend to arm your raptors...literally. With the tactical marines you'll get arms made for holding rifles (which you'll also need to buy), whereas the assault marines come already armed with swords and pistols.

striker8 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Only you can make the decision if they're worth it. So ask your self will you make something you feel is cooler than the usual? Will you be proud of what you've done? Do the answers to the two previous questions give you a sense of value to what you've spent? IF your answer is yes to all then their worth it, if no then they may bot be worth it.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Must admit I'm leaning towards option B, mainly because it has all the bits I need (I have spare parts for two melta gunners) and because the raptor jetpacks are now so expensive on ebay. What I could do is do the first 5 as option B, and then do option 1 if I can ever get the Raptor Jetpacks.
