Dhx711 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 The collector in me couldn't turn down the new priest model and seeing as how I are ready have a total of eight Priests (4 reg, 3 on bikes. 1 TDA) I am going to be retiring the old Corbs model and using the new model as my counts as. I think with the new larger base it'll really help him stand out visually on the table. Anyone else out there thinking of doing this as well?

JamesI Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I considered it, but decided to instead retire an old generic Space Marine Command Squad Apothecary I've had for a long time, make my jump priest a Sanguinary Novitiate and make the new guy a jump priest.

Daddywarcrimes Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'd very strongly considered it, except that I've already got a Corbulo I converted myself that I'm quite pleased with. I'll pick one up eventually, though with the drastic reduction in how many priests we can field, I don't forsee ever fielding him.

girot Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Tempting... but I'm a sucker for antiques. I'll be retaining my old school Corbs.

Ushtarador Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I replaced the head with this helmet: http://bitzbarn.com/oscommerce/catalog/images/IMG_8100.JPG and he looks damn awesome! I'll probably play him as corbulo, as I already have a nice priest with jump pack and power axe I built with the old kit, corbulo can be reasonable once in a while^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300651-showing-corbulo-some-love-modelwise/#findComment-3894249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'll mix one of the FW apoths with the new SP for mine so he stands out a bit more Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300651-showing-corbulo-some-love-modelwise/#findComment-3894253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHarrower Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 That new priest is definitely going to be my Corbs. I'll swap the head out though. I don't want the bionic eye on him.

Dhx711 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I feel the same way about the head with the bionic eye. Just ordered ahead from the death company with the dog snout (not sure of the Mark) and the Grail on the forehead Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300651-showing-corbulo-some-love-modelwise/#findComment-3894268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm getting the new priest, but I've kitbashed my own Corbulo from a FW Apothecary, because hell yeah :D http://i.imgur.com/9c0P4rB.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/300651-showing-corbulo-some-love-modelwise/#findComment-3894276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm in a similar position, except that I don't own a Corbs. Now I probably never will. What's the point when the new priest looks so good and I already have so many cool-but-less-awesome priest models?

ThatOneMarshal Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Am I the only one who's using the forgeworld apothecary. Sure you don't get all the bling and the chainsword but if you have some death company or tactical bits left over it doesn't matter. Also if you buy it now then you get free shipping.

I planned to get one. Then they became HQs, and I'll never need more than two, and that's way fewer than I already have, so I'm in no hurry. I'll probably get one eventually.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I plan on using the new model as Corbulo as well. I am strongly opposed to the elbows on hips 'current' model. I love that the grail hand can be switched out. It certainly allows for further conversion possibilities. I especially like the neck guard, it has a regal air to it. Quite fitting for Corbulo, if you ask me.

Yes it is :) When yu chop off the middle part, it perfectly fits a Space Marine fist. It's a tad larger than Corbulo's own one, but I like it like that. Unfotrunately, it comes as two halves, so I will need to do some GS filling in.

marine7312000 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Now I just need to find my Space Hulk grail and I have an excellent Corbulo kitbash.

Remtek Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Looking forward to receiving the new model in the mail, i might get an extra one for conversions. I'm still rocking this old ugly conversion, using two shoulderpads as a chalice :p If you can call it that.

Venemox Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm in the process now of selecting a head for the model. I'm thinking either a Death Mask or a Grey Knihgt/Templar style knight helmeted head.
