Ammonius Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I am SORELY tempted to get one of these and make a Huge Warpsmith: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/AlternativeFW/xlarge/Myrmidon-secutors5.jpg Forge World page here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Not all that much bigger than the regular warpsmith, actually. Honestly, while the ax is cool, I'm not as big a fan of these guys as I am of the other myrmidons. The arms holding the ax are kind of awkward, and don't look like they could swing it effectively, the over the shoulder guns don't seem to fit right with the shoulderpads, and it's a bit disappointing that they use the same torso pieces as the previous set. Honestly, it looks like the bodies were designed completely with the previous set in mind, and this alternative melee unit is an afterthought, re-using existing bits solely for the sake of getting more use out of them, even if the result is awkward.

Ammonius Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 Well, the re-use of parts that I like doesn't bother me so much because I'm not doing a Mechanicum army any time soon. That said, I 100% see what you mean. I think that I'm more enamored with the boxy shoulder guns than I am disappointed with the secondary arms. Plus, any awkwardness with the second arms swinging the axe is represented by a Warpsmith having a lower WS than a Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gratan Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Not overly fond of the Shoulder Mounted Maxims... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clone Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 What size base is that? If it's 25mm I can see a dark mechanicum counts as warpsmith conversion in my near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 they're on terminator bases. Though, honestly, the warpsmith should be on a terminator base too, going purely by the model. You can hardly even see his base under all those cables, let alone put anything in base contact with him. I put mine on a larger base, as I don't like models that overhang their bases that flagrantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I like the WWI aesthetic of those guns but... they sorta look like unusually well-maintained Ork weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
