Brother Chris Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 OK, I don't what to start up a Dark Angels force, not even as allies. So are the Dark Vengeance figures of any use to me? I've used various bits from the DA chapter upgrade for my BAs in the past, but how convertable are the DV snap together models? With Greenstuff? With paint? with BA stuf from the DC box or Forgeworld? And would a foot librarian, Captain and Chaplain, and the plasma armed Tactical squad and bikers be any use for BA anyway? Or am I better off selling them and buying things specifically for my own force/ (I mostly play Apocalypse in the 5000 - 7000 points bracket, mainly against Chaos Marines, Orks and Tyrannids, but my army is based on fluff rather than to mini-max against them, and regular 40K at 2500 points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jønke Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Im trying to convert some of them for my ba army. Mostly for the variation in models. So faar ive just startet on the terminators and i plad to use fw ba shoulderpads since it seems anot easier then filing the existing ones down and add ba icons. Then ill gs all them fethers to hell making them look like purity seals. When thats done i dont really think people will notice they are da minis when you paint them red. Also alot of the iconography works well for BA aswell. The wings on the bikes and sutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evicerator Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I plan to use that Libby arm. in the least, on my BA libby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rainbow Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I'll use the lot. Plasma tacticals and prescience for the win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Looking at the DA stuff I think removing DA stuff is straightforward but tedious. You'll just need a sharp knife, files and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayaz Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Paint 'em the same colour as the rest of your army. Problem solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I got the bikes and I'll use them as Blood Angels bikes, I'll keep the wings on the front, and maybe even keep the wings and stuff. Why not? We have wings on jumppacks, why not on bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonaides Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Having looked at them - the captain nees a head swap and a couple of feathers filed off, the termies need feathers clipped off chains and chapter badges either filed off or the sword turned into a blood drop and the lib has a little more work to do on his robe and shoulderpad but nothing too difficult to deal with. The tac marines - not sure if I can be bothered to deal with these guys but I will probably do a squad up as BAs and give away my second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kem Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 They are all marines, they can be converted to any marine codex. Chappy, Captain, libby: not sure is a good time investment, but I'm sure that is doable - file of swords\feathes and some blood drops, scrolls, m.b. put a Sanguinary Mask, Winged JP in there, -> win. Tac: same as before + clip off arms and add spare bolter arms out of DC box ( bet you have a pile of them) TDA: same as AoBR Bikes: clip wings, file swords, add blood, scrolls, -> win. (best bet is to trade robed SGT for normal dude + bitz at LGS :P ) 2nd way: Bolster Chaos side lol :devil: . trade master for another mini -> profit )) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 If there was another Legion that was legitimately able to use feather iconography, it would be us (And maybe the Raven guard, but they're lame). GS the swrods into blood drops/just leave them as they are. Paint them red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 The DA are the reason I won't be buying the starter set. I love the chaos models but I have absolutely no use for the DA models and I suspect they will have a very low resale value on eBay etc. As for converting them, I looked at them in my local GW store and I really cannot be bothered to get rid of all the DA iconography to add a 4th Tactical Squad, Terminators that I don't use, character models I already have and bikes that I don't want to my BA army. The rulebook would be handy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
