Wolf_Lord_Hardrada Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hey folks, has anyone got any experience with mixing the kits from Cadian inf and Skitarii? I'm wanting to build a couple of units with a kind of 'augmented auxillia' feel to them (and a fluff reason for them to have a 4+ carapace armour save). I got both kits of xmass but haven't yet had a chance to take a proper look at them. Anyone got any advice or recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Legs and heads are a good place to start, arms should work too but might require a bit of work. AdMech torsos have the cloth built in so wouldn't work as well unless you wanted the more AdMech appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_Lord_Hardrada Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Cheers WarriorFish, shame about the torsos as I was hoping this was a cheap route into krieg-not-krieg looking models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Not my work but one of the coolest conversions I have seen. I think there's more scion in there. https://m.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/49k1wr/inquisitorial_acolytes_of_the_ordo_sepulturum_wip/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That's a very cool bitbash there, good use of bits :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icepick Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 It sure is. It looks to me like that kitbash is based around some of the new genestealer infantry for torso and legs, arms from the scions kit and skitarii vanguard helmets. Am i right with that assessment?

robofish7591 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That kit bash is fantastic! I think I just found myself some new Inquisitorial acolytes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's more scion in there. https://m.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/49k1wr/inquisitorial_acolytes_of_the_ordo_sepulturum_wip/ Legs look familiar to me. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-C1_ZPElBw-k/Usspxs5twzI/AAAAAAAAAB4/EhyJC61VIX8/s1600/IMG_0946.png Three different kits were used for 30% each and if one is going to use other 60% he won't get the result that can be a part of the same army. Cool looking guys but in my books that's a squander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothical Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 October (iirc) White Dwarf featured the studio's Armies on Parade entries, and in one of those Cadian torsos and legs were mixed with Skitarii Vanguard arms/weapons and heads, and it said that only a tiny bit of plastic needed shaving off to get the arms to fit perfectly. I don't know how well any of the other parts may go together, having never made that particular kit-bash myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf_Lord_Hardrada Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 Well, I've gone with 3rd (2nd?) party bits instead rather than go hacking them appart. Anvil do some great guard scale bits that will give them the right feel, with a few bionic bits thrown in. Might well do some plastic shaving and try and make those Skitarii heads fit though, as I do like them...and that power sword IS pretty. I guess the rest of the Skitarii will just have to form the basis of a new army *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
