DinoDoc Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 1) How well do the Exo-Lords from Anvil Industry work aesthetically in a Space Marine army? 2) For those that have used them, can you use GW shoulder pads on them and have it work just as well?

skawolf Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 This is something I have been wondering as well... going to keep an eye on this thread to see what people's opinions are on this.

facmanpob Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Just bought some EXO snipers and have started painting one...... (please forgive the wip nature of the shot and poor lighting) and some of the robed exo lords (please forgive the copious amounts of bluetack).... As you can see with the bottom picture, the Anvilus pattern backpack from the Chaos Marines set fits perfectly, as does the GW head (barring too much bluetack making it stick up out of the socket). I haven't tried GW shoulder pads on it, but I have a feeling they'd work fine.

Dragonlover Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yeah, I've got some of the autocannon guys, and other than being a touch less bulky, they're pretty much identical to a Marine.

Spaced Hulk Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I find them to be a pretty good match and an excellent way of adding some variety to your army. My advice is to mix and match Anvil and GW parts on the same model. If you use all Anvil parts, they can look noticeably different. However, if (for example) you combine Anvil legs & torso with a GW marine head & shoulder pads, they blend in pretty well. Of course, you can also just say that your marines are equipped with rare, Anvil pattern power armour produced by a nearby forge world Here's a link to some of my models: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279834-the-jagga-crusade-a-tale-of-three-battle-brothers/ Scroll down to the Black Guard models at the bottom of the page.

DinoDoc Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Personally I'm just happy to see based on your pics the GW arms seem to fit well on the Exo-Lord models as it makes the use of some of the heavy weapons Anvil doesn't make.

RazorDaemon Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It all depends on how you work them in the army. Kit bashing pieces here and there is one way to do it well, another is if you plan on having the Anvil models together, as models and a squad, have there be a reason or a different type of squad. Having two squads of basic Space Marine Troops with one GW on Anvil, would look out of place.
