Kilamandaros Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi all, So I've put together an Inquisition detachment of MT Scions using the old metal Storm Trooper models, have 4 squads of 5 so far but struggling to find a suitable model for the Tempestor Prime. The modern Prime model just doesn't fit with the old SAS-style metal ones (I mainly have the gas mask troopers) and they will be coming down via Grav chute with the other squads so looking pristine with a big coat on doesn't really fit the image. Ideally I'm looking for them to be equipped with a command rod which would double as a power maul, I'm fairly confident with conversions so happy to look at that option. Any ideas most welcome as I'm a bit stuck! Many thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/336662-tempestor-prime-model-ideas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucerne Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Play up the commander aspect? Give him a plastic scion body and backpack, but use a gas mask head, or beret, and lots of cameras/gadgets?

WarriorFish Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 As Scions have Commissars with them, maybe that's an option for a base? A third party gas mask head might go a long way to getting him to fit in.

NatBrannigan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The Forge world Krieg Commissars have Gas Masks, great models if a bit pricey of course! That is tricky mind you, the old Stormtroopers are great but are a bit unique aesthetically. I'm not sure if you'll be buying a Scion kit but the Beret heads there are perfect for a Special Forces commander. They're also available individually from bitz sites for cheap. There's also a servo skull speaker thing that's quite commandery (of course that's a word!) and the Jacket draped over the shoulders is a lovely thing. I've use it on my Colonel and Yarrick conversion (with a bit of chopping and greenstuff needed for the later) My Tempestor prime is a simple kitbash. I'll be painting them in 95th rifle colours so my Prime is Sharpe. Blood angels head, Mechanicus rifle, big ass sword and voila! I've also swapped out a Scion Volley Gun for a Kharadon Overlord steampunk Volley gun and added another Blood Angels head to make a Harper for my Command Squad. Doesn't help you of course but I've told you all the same.

Dr_Ruminahui Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 If you have an extra sergeant, you could covert one easily enough to hold a rod rather than the sword or auspex the storm trooper sergeant models have.
