Expirience with Cataphractii/Tartaros


Hinti

Recommended Posts

Hi my Friends!!!

 

As I'm following my target to build a Deathwing Army (switching from GW to FW Termis completley)

The following Question raises:

Has anyone any Expirience or Idea how to get Stormshields on them?? As FW's HH line lacks Shields for them COMPLETLEY.

My Plan is:

5 Cataphratctii as DWK (they NEED Shields)

20 tartaros as Troops (at lest a few Shields needed)

Hammers and Stuff are NO Problem.

 

 

Even "Belial" should be able to fittet with one (Praetor Termi)....Magnets

 

Precisley:

Do the GW-Shields fit? Hand and so....

Any other Variants?? Ideas?

For the tartaros you'd need to get the Terminator weapon set, unless you feel like trimming the arm for the tartaros to use the plastic shields, I don't know if this set will work with the cataphractii.

Only problem is you get a single shield per set.

Why don't you use some modified Boarding shields? They wouldn't need much work, and you get six to a set. Alternatively there's the IH Breacher squad (you can sell on the Marines and guns if you don't need them - these do well on Ebay), and also the BT Terminator shields (which you can either file smooth for new iconography, or you can modify the BT crosses into a Crux Terminatus).

 

I suppose you could just bits-order the DWK shields on their own as well, but I'm guessing that option is not one you want...

You can use regular Terminator thunder hammers and storm shields on Tartaros arms, you just want to be sure you cut them off after the elbow (as per the thunder hammer arm below).

Tartaros upper arm, plastic lower arm and weapon. If you want to use the Deathwing Knight shields, you'll do the same on the other arm (this may be your best option, as there are only a few Tartaros left arms that aren't powerfists). If you're using normal plastic storm shields, those are separate from the arm so would be fairly painless to include on whatever left arms could take them (probably just the power sword arm though).

You can Bits Order the DWK Shields??

 

@Disruptor

Hmm will keep that in Mind

 

@Doberman:

I know these Shields (Awesome), but there ist still the "how to" Problem....

And I figure I should show how the shield arm looks too:

As previously mentioned, the basic plastic storm shields from the Assault Terminator set are not attached to the arm, so those would actually be good for Cataphractii, since the Cataphractii don't default to powerfists in the left hand.
