Veloces Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Really want to make some of these guys for my army.Am curious what people would use as a starting point.Was considering using Chaos Raptors and hacking off a lot of the more demonic parts of them, but I am still undecided.Thoughts on this?

Reclusiarch Darius Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nah, I'd start with Thallax to begin with. It's the pattern they're based off anyway. I'd then add Marine jump packs (or just leave the default thruster nozzles the Thallax body has). I'd then use Marine lightning claws and powerfists for the weapon arms. For the Iron Man chest laser I'd get creative. Some people just use a thruster nozzle, you could use actual volkite bits as well.

Veloces Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 That might be what I end up doing. However I live in Australia and was going hoping to scratch build most of the army instead of buying Forgeworld models though.It's most likely going to be a lot more work but I'm hoping I can get the benefits of saving a bit of cash, getting the models straight away, and keeping the store manager happy with me.Unless I give in to buying everything from Forgeworld I would be scratch building the Thallax as well so I could make them look similar to the Ursarax. Cheers for the help. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298927-ursarax-cohort-conversion/#findComment-3854735 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 That might be what I end up doing. However I live in Australia and was going hoping to scratch build most of the army instead of buying Forgeworld models though. You know you don't have to order from FW itself right? You can get all of their stuff cheaper from other sources. eBay and Aliexpress are two I've found to be useful, but there are many. It's most likely going to be a lot more work but I'm hoping I can get the benefits of saving a bit of cash, getting the models straight away, and keeping the store manager happy with me. Store managers shouldn't be disallowing conversions. Ursarax have no official model anyway. Unless I give in to buying everything from Forgeworld I would be scratch building the Thallax as well so I could make them look similar to the Ursarax. Why when you can get actual Thallax anyway? Plus they're sexy as hell. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/298927-ursarax-cohort-conversion/#findComment-3854742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronozoah Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I concur with Darius. The Thallax models are fantastic and absolutely should be used to represent the unit on the tabletop as well as considered for use as a base from which to convert an Ursarax model. Thallax models with Marine Lightning Claws is a simple but efficient set-up, and you only need to get particularly creative with the Volkite Incinerator / chest-mounted death-laser.

Chronozoah Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 From the link Raven shared: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/742/UayVqV.jpg This is similar to what I envisioned Ursarax looking like, and considering they don't have their own models yet, this is a simple but appropriate look for them.
