Ryza pre and post heresy army : painting blog


Recommended Posts

Hi guys I'm working on my newly received rustalkers and I was wondeing.

 

1/ to use in a war convocation what is the pro/cons of each versions I tend to think that the transsonic sword is slight better than the blades + chord claw but I'm not sure

 

2/ if I choose to equip the squad with claw + blade, Can I give the leader a pair of swords + chord claw? The wording seems meaning that I can't but I'm unsure... :unsure:

1) I use claws because I find the fleshblane more useful in general (against MCs etc) and they still have furious charge.also the grenades are helpful for charging through terrain.

 

2)I don't think so iv never seen anyone do it.

Ok thanks... The strange thing is that the boxset doesn't come with alternative wargear... Moreover the codex always shows rustalkers with pair of swords hence not even a visual reference... :/

 

I've profited from this time to mount my ironstrider model. Like I've said in another topic, I wanted to try magnetizing the model so that I can change the type of unit.

 

To do so I've first cut the lower part on the ironstrider's torso

Then I've glued those lowerparts to form the pair of legs

Then I've put a magnet in the Pelvis

I've done the same thing on the torso

I've used the torso of the onager's servant to make the alternate torso. I've first cut it just under the belt so that it fit in position. Since it was already hollow, I've just digged a little more so that I can use a bigger magnet.

Then I've glued the pieces in position

2 rangers with transuranic arquebuses

And onager's optionnal weapons. I've used the neutrons laser this week end and that's a really nice weapon but I'd like to try also the 3x death ray : cheaf but potentiallt efficient
