FlamingDeth Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Castellans detachment seems like it fits best for them, since you could then use the lightly armored ones as guard vets at the heavier ones as power armor/terminator models. Not sure the right subforum to talk about the castellan detachment though...

Canadian_F_H Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Th at does seam the way to go. Especially since their HQS look like power armoured guys with thunderhammers.

WarriorFish Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Depends on what you want to do with them. Forge is always a good catch all for modelling projects, but if you're looking to build for a specific codex (e.g. the Iron Priests idea) they could go there too.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 The balloon jump troops could be used as roughriders. Cavalry moves similar to jump pack troops and they even have spears.

WarriorFish Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Aside from the very different model and base type? Maybe your Rough Riders can jump over buildings, but this seems like a stretch to me :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332026-new-duardin-conversion-ideas/page/2/#findComment-4688618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plasmablasts Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Could use the balloon chaps as deep-striking Scions, with the Airship converted into a Valkyrie/Vendetta counts-as.

binary Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 That's what I'm thinking, airship converted to a valk/vend. Just need to change the weapons and crew, add some imperial details and remove/cover the runes. But then I do run a steampunk IG list anyway http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m200/mark_kilburn/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/04CD2B32-0AD3-4B95-823A-84D556D2986A_zpslkoa1o4e.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m200/mark_kilburn/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/8513DC5E-F9E4-4507-8E6B-507652234488_zpsnydei4an.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m200/mark_kilburn/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-02/FFCD1D91-96AC-4F20-9D20-EC82675EFAC3_zpsnoauvnqx.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332026-new-duardin-conversion-ideas/page/2/#findComment-4688983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Titus Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I like the idea of them being purely abhuman, maybe from a high gravity tech world, where they churn out Tanks and heavy weapons. I think maybe a Armor heavy AM list or a Iron Hands SM army? I would love to see some conversions between an old Empire Steam Engine tank, a Leman Russ and these fellows to make some cool squat tanks... if only I had the time and the money.
