Noxnoctis22 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I received a box of the Space Marine Masters of the Chapter as a gift and I was just going to paint them up for my RG successor chapter but I'm wondering if I should make any of them a jump pack model instead of the standard backpack type. The loadouts the models come with are as follows: -Power Axe & Storm Shield -Power Sword (or Relic Blade) & Storm Bolter -Thunder Hammer -Power Sword (or Relic Blade) Here's the image of them from GW's site.

NiceGuyAdi Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Apart from the Storm Bolter and Power Sword/Relic Blade guy, they look quite static and hefty and might look a bit unnatural with Jump Packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filius Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I would say: The Relation between the Raven Guard and Jump Packs is the same as between Space Wolves and … wolfish Wolf-Things. You can never have enough of them. But I want to put Jump Packs on all HQ Choices, no matter which Chapter. So maybe I'm not the best consultant on this topic. After a moment of meditation: I would put Jump Packs on all of them, except the Guy with the Sledgehammer. Maybe even him. Give it a try with some double-faced adhesive tape. P.S.: I spent a few Moments thingking about, how they would look in Black, and I have to admit … man, you Ravens have an insta-cool Colour Scheme.

MajorNese Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 -Power Sword (or Relic Blade) & Storm Bolter Not a storm bolter, it just has a single barrel and standard sized housing. As a captain is carrying a master-crafted bolter (AP-1, 2D), this would be a perfect fit. Noxnoctis22 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 There's no rule that says a jump pack has to be actively being used to be on a model. Just look at the Lord Executioner model. The thing I would question is how exactly they are wearing flowing cloaks and jump packs at the same time.

Ah, right, no capes! duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrieker Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I have 2 of these, thunder hammer guy won't accommodate the jumppack as hammer is in the way; sword plus stormbolter guy only accommodates the 'single turbine' sanguinary-guard-type jump pack., as shoulder guard is very high Other 2 I cant check, but suspect the mk III shoulder pads will get in the way of twin turbine jumppacks.

Claws and Effect Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 MKIII pads should be fine. I have a squad of Vanguard with them and has no issues. It does depend a bit on placement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxnoctis22 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I think I'm going to go with jump packs on the.... -Power Axe & Storm Shield -Power Sword (or Relic Blade) & Master-crafted Boltgun Leave the other two as is. I'm also putting them on larger bases and swapping out the heads on them to more emotional faces. I think the ones I picked out came from the DW Kill Team box. It's just going to be nice to work a few unique guys, models you rarely see on the table. Filius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kua Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I see the capes as a major problem when putting on the jump packs. Not sure if I’d do it at all. The static poses, on the other hand, would be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Capes + Jump Pack = Noxnoctis22 and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxnoctis22 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 The capes are weighted at the bottoms so there is a smaller chance of flying into the intakes.... I'm just trying to work with these PEWTER models, go easy fellows. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filius Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Ahhh come on … don't be more pontifical than the pope (as we say in Germany)! More than half of this Squad of Skyclaws will be dead, five minutes after they first activated their jump pack, bled dry from the wound on their head, where their beautiful long hair has been, before it vanished into the jump pack … and that's the official Skyclaws Product Picture from the Webshop. And it's not better in the Codex. http://dark-and.grim.rocks/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/07/half-dead-skyclaws.jpg Noxnoctis22 and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
