Nomus Sardauk Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Ahh, I must admit I was expecting someone else, maybe you know him? Tall, dark, wielding a pair of pistols? ;) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbenner Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah, I was totall expecting another Cypher post... I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought "Caestus Conversion" when I saw the flying bricks... Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I've made some good progress, all that's left is the Magna-Melta housing then it'll be on to paint. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Avoghai Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Nice beast... You also suceeded one challenge : produce a kit bash more expensive as its FW equivalent :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Nice beast...

deathspectersgt7 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Looks Great!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulminata Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Awesome idea....I may have to 'borrow' it. The Caestus I bought form ForgeWorld was warped so bad, it took forever for me to bend back in place. And it is probably cheaper too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 it looks great. are you concerned that the base is only attached to the small central piece with all the weight in front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Wait, what happened to that Carnifex you were working on? Awesome converion btw - hope you share your method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 This is great work. I was wondering how does it match up size wise on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 it looks great. are you concerned that the base is only attached to the small central piece with all the weight in front? Originally I wasn't and was just going to use the Storm Talons nose turret for the Magna Melta, but now I'm going to box it in for added rigidity and support. This is great work. I was wondering how does it match up size wise on the table. II'll put it beside some stuff and take some pics. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 That price tag has to be especially painful being in Oz, but it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pbenner Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I like it. I think it's well done. Got a parts list and total cost? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 Thanks for the comments lads :tu: I do intend on making as very basic tutorial/run through of the method and parts used. As for a total cost, too much??? 2x Stormwolf $176AU 1x Storm Talon $76AU (an old purchase, had it since release) Storm Raven wings eBay, I've forgotten how much, maybe $20?? 2x Dark Talon Tail fins $15 eBay. at the current exchange rate, a FW Caestus without postage is $174, and out of stock. I know of recasters that have them for $100, which I'm tempted to try if I ever want another one. Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
