Count the7 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well i went on EBey and got My self 10 of the new Raptor jump packs (for less than 15 Quid with postage). a bit spikey i thought but with a few mins with a file and craft knife. they seem to fit quite nicely. sorry guys i am having dramas posting pics on to the forums though i have some photos of my first World eater assault marine in my Albums if you want to see the results? works out a lot cheeper than FW and is legal to use in a GW store/tournament what do you think?

Brother Amarel Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Looks very nice, I was worried about the spikes, too, but they seem to tidy up well.

.Torch. Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 That is one awesome assault marine you have there! Quite inspiring for the Raven Guard force I'm hoping to build. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265958-new-gw-raptor-ph-jump-packs/#findComment-3240015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim AMM realgenius Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Looks great! I like it a lot more than the Mk IV single thruster; I think it fits great with that armor.

Count the7 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Red scorpion upgrade pack from FW and Khorn Berserker Legs and bits from my bits box. dam sight sheeper than £66+ per assault squad from FW. and if i was doing Raven Guard in MKVI it would beeven cheeper Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265958-new-gw-raptor-ph-jump-packs/#findComment-3240199 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I had the same idea but was really concerned that the spikes inside and around the edges of the turbofans would be a major converting problem. Specifically, how did you go about cleaning them up? Was there any GS involved or all just knife and file work? Reason I ask they really look great and I am thinking of doing the same eventually!

caprera Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Quite inspiring for the Raven Guard force I'm hoping to build. :ermm: Had no idea Raven Guard was so popular :) Nice job again Count! I like the effects and that white is neat. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265958-new-gw-raptor-ph-jump-packs/#findComment-3240241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yeah even I was going to go with Raven Guard because of Corax and Sharrowkyn, but I can't highlight well so my test models sucked, going with ultramarines. I like the conversion though, looks proper world eaty.

Count the7 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 only 1 top section out of the five in the Raptor Boxis a chalenge though easely remidied with a little green stuff. the main body of the Jump pack is Chaos free and just requires a little trim to attach to the back of a MKIV torso. The top sections require a little more efort as for some reason there ar organic teath growing out of them. 3 mins with a sharp blade and a rat tail file cleans them up nicely though. I will take some pics and include a tutorial next week if you want?

caprera Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 That would be much appreciated Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265958-new-gw-raptor-ph-jump-packs/#findComment-3240460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ibid., I would be interested to see how you went about it. The look is great for the cheaper cost, so most def worht the time to cut and file the plastic 'teeth' and spikes growing out of the turbo fans.

Emperor's Furor Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Very cool, I may put this technique to use in my list, if I can figure out what I'm going to go with.

The Colossus Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 That's a really conversion and paint job! As an aside, you can post more than one picture in a single post, you don't have to multiple post!
