Hinti Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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? greetz Chris Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282241-expirience-with-cataphractiitartaros/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovemberIX Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Space_Marines/Space_Marine-Infantry-and-Accessories/SPACE_MARINE_TERMINATOR_WEAPON_SET.html Only problem is you get a single shield per set.

Major_Gilbear Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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...

Dobermann Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 or simply buy the beautiful and economic Scibor Stormshields: Big Angel Shields: http://www.shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/artikelinfo/21700-1-show-big_angels_shields_3.html Or Lion Shields: http://www.shop.battlefield-berlin.de/index.php/katalog/artikelinfo/23245-1-show-lion_big_shields_3.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282241-expirience-with-cataphractiitartaros/#findComment-3502416 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Or you could ask Whitescar how he did the shields on these guys. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282241-expirience-with-cataphractiitartaros/#findComment-3502565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 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). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/Disruptor_fe404/40K%20WiPs/tart-term-wip3.jpg 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....

Quixus Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 You can Bits Order the DWK Shields??Not from GW, but Yes, you can. They might not always be available though.

Disruptor_fe404 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 And I figure I should show how the shield arm looks too: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v515/Disruptor_fe404/40K%20WiPs/tart-term-wip5.jpg 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.
