Strazhakov Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Anyone have experience with these FW beauties? http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg530/Rich_Kapmyre/Bitz%20Event/BDrones_zpsf71e32de.jpg I really like their models and their rules in IA13. Their connection to one of my favourite warbands "The Purge" (calling Dr.Edgemaster) is especially tempting. I guess I'd use them as singular distraction/harrassment/kamikaze units if I were to play with them and I guess that's what they are meant for.

Aspiringchaoschampion Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I like the look of them tbh i actually prefere them to drakes yeah the low bs sucks but they get a 2+ when jinking and how much skyfire actually ignores cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I love them, admittedly mainly visually - but they do offer a tabletop role even if they are often destroyed faster than I would like. Definitely a worthwhile and pretty distraction! I'll grab the photo of mine later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_contagion Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've been planning on converting my own with some water bottles, but I'd need to fill them with something because the plastic is so flimsy. I was thinking caulk but I'm not sure if there's an easier/better way to do that. The idea I got for them is to have them fly into the enemy deployment zone and pester them until they explode in their face, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Here are my converted Blight Drones: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/TheNewAgeOutlaw/BD14_zps9496fd9f.jpg As promised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspiringchaoschampion Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 What did you convert them out of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 What did you convert them out of? If you're looking to make your own, there are a couple of really good tutorials: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206963-scratch-built-nurgle-blight-drones/ http://papanurgle.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1439 Definitely doable to try and make your own! Mine were a resurrection project after a second hand purchase, mostly repairing via green stuff and filler where necessary. The trail of slime mirrors the Forge World and various other conversions - that's acrylic rod and laying with a hot glue gun! I've seen some other superb works in this field, and took advice from a number of others on the forum to get the effect that I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strazhakov Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 @Chaeron Thanks alot. Very helpful. Though I will probably get the FW ones being lazy and all. @brother_contagion The idea I got for them is to have them fly into the enemy deployment zone and pester them until they explode in their face, lol That was my idea as well. Jinking helps with surviving until you are close enough and then just let them do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspiringchaoschampion Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The plastic blight drones look like they could be a base model to convert from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The plastic blight drones look like they could be a base model to convert from Definitely a good start - they are noticeably smaller from memory, but you could easily bulk them as appropriate, or add flying apparatus that gives them an overall size boost. I'd like to see that, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aspiringchaoschampion Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Agreed they'd need bulking out a bit but it could actually work hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heron Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I use a pair of them in my Nurgle CSM List and I have to say that they are a fantastic unit. I use a Heldrake as well, and in general, they are much more effective. I have also found them to be very durable. With a Shrouded+Jink save, and 12 front armor they can last quite a while. When you jink, you usually have to go to leave the board and come back the next turn, since you can't shoot your main gun, but in general, they cause a lot of damage and really distract opponents. Plus, they look really cool.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
