Darkn3ssF4lls Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Is there a kit to build a proper ride for Sammael ? I saw some old links around the block to kits that no longer exist. I was wondering if there is a proper looking kit out there? Something that doesn't involve say destroying a bike kit by putting things on a speeder ?

twopounder Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 The ravenwing upgrade sprue has everything needed to convert a land speeder to sableclaw. I have so many that my bitz box contains around 20 assault cannons and heavy bolters.

The white dwarf also has an amazingly badly made mission for Pscinia iv. The dark Angels can take formations from the lions blade only to fight an unending green tide formation with guaranteed telly porta strike on everything. However every dark Angel gets fearless and ld10 and a free fortress of redemption as part of your army so yeah (and you can buy all the upgrades you want for your fortress but they cost their standard point allotments). Finally it's maelstrom of war with three objectives you get to place anywhere inside the fortress lololololol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310356-sableclaw/#findComment-4108195 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Blaire Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes, that's the one. You get one of those frames in the new DA Battleforce, and you get three of them in the old Ravenwing Battleforce. One frame contains all the components needed to build Sableclaw.

Darkn3ssF4lls Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Right but taking the one from the box wouldn't that mess up something ? Or was it meant to make the purchased land speeder into Sableclaw?

CarbonBased Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Right but taking the one from the box wouldn't that mess up something ? Or was it meant to make the purchased land speeder into Sableclaw?

Bryan Blaire Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 There's no formation or detachment that corresponds to the DA Battleforce, and it is always 100% your choice how you build your models (you can even make models you can't play with if you so choose), so if you want to make a Land Speeder from somewhere into Sableclaw, do it! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310356-sableclaw/#findComment-4108583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkn3ssF4lls Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Hehe I truly would love to give it a badass look like corvex though I've never done anything thus far haha I'm just planning my first 12 months of modeling and painting haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310356-sableclaw/#findComment-4108619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to ruin any bike options by making Sableclaw. All the required parts are basically exclusive to that conversion.

Darkn3ssF4lls Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Excellent, What is the rule on conversions ? I know the base has to be the orginal right? I've always wondered becuase there was a bad ass one here let me see if i can pull it up. Here ya go I'm not familiar with the original model in this example, but I think the custom built base has to be much higher than the orginal isn't it ?

IndigoJack Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 There are no rules on conversions in the rulebook. For GW events (and in their stores), you have to use GW parts only. For other game stores and events, it's pretty much anything goes. The only rule that I've really encountered, is that models can't be made from toys, unless considerable work has been done to them. This is to prevent someone from taking a GI Joe tank and calling it a looted wagon without some serious orkification. Hope this helps and happy modelling!

Stoic Raptor Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 If you're using a Land Speeder kit and the parts from the Ravenwing upgrade sprue, there's really no "wrong" way to do it. Just make sure the armament matches the Codex and the rest is up to your creative expression. The version shown in WD 73 is pretty much the same way as I built mine a couple months ago.

SvenONE Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 RIP the old battleforce. I too am rolling in Assault Cannons. But like others said the new box has the sprue for upgrading.

Sableclaw + BK + Trike are 1HQ + 2FA which satisfies your mandatory choices for the Ravenwing Strike Force.

Hard to remember we are back to having Attack Bike Squadrons. It's been a while since 3rd Edition. :( D4rknessF4lls, ignore me and rest assured that if you make Sableclaw, you'll be able to use it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/310356-sableclaw/#findComment-4109636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
