Lysere Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So I recently got the Inquistion codex and was trying to figure out what to run for the different units. Two I have set in stone already and just need to get the models for, but one I want to run is the good ol' Death Cult/Crusader blend. I want five of each plus two priests. For the priests I already plan on grabbing the Fulgurite elctro-priests since I need a couple for another project anyway, and for the Death cults I was thinking the Ruststalkers would be cool, especially since they have the right wargear and were an elite assassination unit originally. That leaves me with the problem of what to do with the crusaders. Now I need to get one anyway, and they come in pairs, but since most of the unit is already going to be Mechanicus it would be really cool to use something from the Mechanicus line as crusaders with a bit of conversion work. I just have no idea what would make a cool storm shield for Mechanicus though. I'm thinking just a second squad of Ruststalkers with some kind of shield would work, but I have no idea what would look right for it. Any suggestions? Or am I just going to have to kitbash something together.

WarriorFish Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 What about Vanguard with shield bits? They look pretty armoured and would fit the theme.

rye0006 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I really want to use Anvil Industries Tox Troopers as acolytes, but their guns are very laser based and if want to change them for storm bolters but they really aren't going to fit. http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/Miniatures-of-the-North/Tox-Troopers/Tox-Trooper-Squad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310335-mechanicus-based-henchmen-squad-help/#findComment-4107790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG-23 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Maybe with this and a few cuts here and there could work for a Mechanicum storm shield ? http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODUwWDg1MA==/z/IwQAAOSw3xJVdp7k/$_57.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310335-mechanicus-based-henchmen-squad-help/#findComment-4115036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I think so, if the scale is right :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310335-mechanicus-based-henchmen-squad-help/#findComment-4115120 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRG-23 Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 It's in the electropriests box, it's their backpack, the scale should be good :) http://www.ebay.fr/itm/AME29-PAQUETAGE-ELECTRO-PRIEST-WARHAMMER-40000-BITZ-ADEPTUS-MECHANICUS-59-60-/201368326881?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_71&hash=item2ee27cd2e1 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310335-mechanicus-based-henchmen-squad-help/#findComment-4115128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 That is perfect actually since I plan on using the two different electro priests to stand in for other henchmen in squads. Partially to make one squad pure mechanicum, another because I don't want the monkeys but I want their rules. It'll be a few weeks until I have all the kits and start building but I'll post pics once I've started.

Venemox Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Lychguard shields.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310335-mechanicus-based-henchmen-squad-help/#findComment-4115991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Lychguard shields.... That was one idea I had but I'd need to scrape off the necron icons, and I have little use for anything else in the kit. The backpack piece for the electro priests should work for what I want.
