Carlson793 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Like everyone, FW posted their 'Win A Titan" contest, and I started looking at my wish list and other things they have available. In the process, I noticed the price on some of the Mechanicum models is comparable, if not better, than GW Cult Mechanicus (never mind most of the FW stuff generally just looks better). That started me thinking in terms of 40K counts as. So, with that in mind, I've done some searching for various size comparisons, done some Photoshop comparisons, and that leads to my question: keeping in mind some possible conversion, would FW Mechanicum Thallaxii make a good counts-as for GW Kataphrons? Keeping in mind the base difference (40mm vs 60mm). Or would Myrmidon Destructors would make better Kataphrons with their "power claw with 'turret arm'" look?At some point, I'm also thinking Castellax as CA Kastelans. Sound reasonable?

Atia Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Castellax as CA Kastelans should fit yeah :) for the kataphrons - i probably would go with Myrmidons tbh - also Thallaxii should get 40k rules soonTM ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 Hmm... with Atia's track record, methinks my FW Titan entry will involve some Thallaxii. Castellax I can pick up for (possible) entry 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminus Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308022-40k-vs-30k-ad-mech-size-comparison/ I would use Domitars as Kastellans, because Domitars have great models and bad rules, while Kastellans have terrible models and decent rules. Domitars are also taller like the Kastellans are. Myrm Destroyers == Kat Breachers would be the easiest (only?) analogue. Kat destroyers have two different guns and Myrm Secutors completely different equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Castellax as CA Kastelans ... also Thallaxii should get 40k rules soonTM Have you heard of other Mechanicum units that make a transition to 40k by any chance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGuy Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 ... also Thallaxii should get 40k rules soonTM Are there new rumours that say that they will be in the new IA? :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davekunes Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I recently purchased both destructors and secutors to substitute as Kataphrons. They look better with extra plasma I picked up. For the breachers I plan to order some of the weapons from the Kataphrob kit and see if they can be swapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
