pathatrick Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Stolen from Bill and Ted's bogus journey. I'm not a big fan of GW's model for them. Has anyone found a good alternative or kit bashed something? I also have a ordos xeno inquisitor, would they even be allowed to live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathatrick Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 I think something along the lines of a star wars jawa would work well or be easy to convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venemox Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Dust Tactics Axis Gorillas. Â 3 per 20 USD box. Â Very angry looking. Â Also Axis Sturmaffe are gorillas with weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Demos is more of a skill set than a philosophy, so a friendly Zeno might be a valuable source of knowledge, esp. A tame one like the jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathatrick Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 The Axis Sturmaffe models are great, especially the ones with the gas masks. How do they scale to GW models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Pretty well, given that you're comparing apes to men. Â I might be more worried about trying to shoe horn the soldiers into an IG regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It seems to me that as an alternative to space monkeys, you could do "counts as" Jokaero using a variety of different things. Maybe a ratling toting a lascannon, a multimelta, and a heavy flamer (the stat line matches up) or a Squat similarly armed using a fantasy Dwarf engineer model as a base. I'm not up on Squat fluff at all, but if they're basically space Dwarfs then that might match better fluff-wise than a Ratling. Or just make up some other new/exotic alient. The fluff is pretty clear that there are all sorts of bizarre minor races out there. For these you could use any third party model and explain any scaling issues away by that just being how that race looks next to humans. Â As for whether an Ordo Xenos inquisitor would allow a Jokaero or other alien to live, it all depends on the inquisitor and his ideology/disposition. Just as there are some Daemonhunter inquisitors who believe it licit to "fight fire with fire" and bend daemonhosts or daemon weapons to their use, so too could an Ordo Xenos inquisitor make use of xenos gear or even include xenos in his retinue. A particular inquisitor need not even be a radical, per se, but may have some theory on why certain xenos are benevolent or harmless and may be used as intelligent pets, whereas others are dangerous and must be destroyed. With all sorts of variations and shades around these few ideas I've thrown out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-smuv Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I use AT-43 Karman - Anakongas. .. Â There's one with a wrench that captures the idea pretty well, imo. Â About twice as big as the gw model, so if your opponent is picky, then you may have a problem. Â But I haven't met someone whose been upset by the size difference yet.

Venemox Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I recieved the Axis Gorillas from my FLGS yesterday. Â They are already built, attached to bases about 32 mm or so (normal base is 28 mm). Â They're a little larger then GW Jokaeros, but not enourmously huge. Â They're also very angry looking. Â EDIT: Â They're also MSRP of 14.95 USD for 3 of them. Â That is certainly a factor.

pathatrick Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I went with the Dust Tactics model. I finally got around to painting one of them, should have cleaned up the mold lines. They really pop after you paint. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/pathatrick/20150111_232710_zps50c06561.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Looks great. Been looking at those too as I'm not keen on the jokaero model. There are others too, non-pioneers I think, without the weapons etc. Both look good alternatives. Â Can you use a 40K base with them or is it easier to leave the original in place? Â Also, Can you post a size-comparison pic with it and a 40K model side by side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathatrick Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 25mm is too small. I think the new 32mm would fit perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathatrick Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks. On the left is an inquisitorial stroomtrooper (tempestor prime). The right belongs to a pdf, prime for a mind wipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionicman Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Wanted to open up a similar thread, found this one instead, lol.  Well yes, AT43_UB_Anakongas look great but don't fit well into the 40k style imo. I find the whole jokaero / ape concept stupid, fluff and appearance wise. Are there any other options then apes? What about abhuman models? I would use obliterators but they are too grotesque. Hell I need something to run with my stormtroopers... The main problem are the different weapon options, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Jokaero are actually pretty small, so you could probably get away with a ratling with lots of gadgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sefiel Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 HelloAs well as the usual space monkeys, I use an Empire monkey ammunition carrier, the hairy chaos familiar, a C.A.T. (the strange tracked machine thing from Space Hulk) and the little guy from the Skullz Mechanicum set. The only reason that I don't use Watchers is because they already have a 40K use (if a trivial one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Sefiel Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hi I guess there is always the Ape Gang of Mega-City One. Citadel also did some members of the Ape Gang, but I have never had the heart to convert them. Also, at least one of them is wearing a suit, which might look a bit incongruous.

Dbourg Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I have some second hand ork grots on the way. I plan on putting three standing on each other's shoulders. The will each hold either a lasscannon, multimelta, or a heavy flamer. Would you let me play those as jokaeros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
