The Sandman Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Just wondering how these individual models compare size and bulk wise. Do the mechanicum troops seem like a reasonable table top replacement for the Centurion models? Thoughts and opinions would be great thanks.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Thallax are terminator sized, too small for centurions counts as if you ask me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281064-mechanicum-thallax-centurion-comparison/#findComment-3478052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJacksUserName Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I would probably go with the castellax as a suitable replacement.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Castellax are dreadnought sized but yeah you could probably do that, ignoring the 40+ price tag Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281064-mechanicum-thallax-centurion-comparison/#findComment-3478334 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Can I ask why you're after a centurion replacement? You planning on a mechanicum counts as you just not like the model? If it's the latter try looking at the following thread, candleshoes has done an excellent conversion and howto on the centurion and makes the models look decent, no small feat: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280117-imperial-fists-contemptor-centurion-body-head-complete/page-3?do=findComment&comment=3478158 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281064-mechanicum-thallax-centurion-comparison/#findComment-3478560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 A combination really of, much preferring the thallax aesthetic, more brutal and less awkward...and yes I suppose there was the SLIGHT temptation to avoid paying for a forty plus pound unit. Maybe. Very good shout on the link though, can't beat a good modelling and fluff combination.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I had the same thought with the thallax to be fair, but when I got a unit of them they aren't big enough to represent the centurions. Unless you took the thallax torso and did some modding with marine parts?

Vaz Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I also have considered the same. I think they are suitable. My argument would be with no "human" bits inside, the metal limbs, etc, justify the tough factor. I am waiting to see what else comes out though. I am doing a Sons of Horus / Night Lord / Mech army.

IamJacksUserName Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 If you don't mind waiting, there a number of amazing mechanicum units coming out from FW in the next year or so. One of them might make a better replacement for centurions.

RandomMarine Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Thallax and cents are about the same height but the thallax is far skinnier and on the wrong size base Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281064-mechanicum-thallax-centurion-comparison/#findComment-3485604 Share on other sites More sharing options...
