Leman Russ SW Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 I was looking at that as a possibility but he will require a lot of converting to get the correct load out.

Vel'Cona Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 How about this guy: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/large/Tech%20Priest%20Colour%201.jpg You can find him under Warhammer 40k - Titans on the FW site.

Kilofix Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Nah, just use any Space Marine with a Power Fist and give him one of the spare Skitarii Vanguard or Ranger heads. You can kit bash the Gamma Pistol with bits.

Battybattybats Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If you don't mind a pricey model you could hunt down a 2nd hand Techpriest from 2nd edition. When we were going to get a codex but that was cancelled and they put what miniatures they designed in a hard-to-get coupon set called Skullz.http://www.collecting-citadel-miniatures.com/wiki/index.php/Skullz_-_Limited_ReleaseMy favourite is the one with the skull mask and storm bolter, and i am very happy to have managed to get that one myself.

Vel'Cona Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Heck, if you just want a Techpriest looking dude, you could use the Techpriest Enginseer from the IG range. I may just convert one of those for my backup Dominus (since I can't stand the idea of paying 36 bucks for another legit one).

Leman Russ SW Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 I ordered the Techpriest I will see what I can do conversion wise. I am thinking of using the relic pistol from the HH Praetors for the gamma pistol.

I also suggested this. both of the optional ig techpriests are good models Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308255-datasmith-conversion-or-alternate-model/#findComment-4061886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I was looking at that as a possibility but he will require a lot of converting to get the correct load out. I say balls to converting them. I have two of those enginseer models in my nascent Mechanicum army, and two (eventually more) castellax. I'll use them as counts-as kastellans and I doubt anyone will be confused over who that small guy with the robots is.
