Liquidawesomes Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 So I'm collecting a Imperial fist 30k army, but built for playing with 40k rules. I want to be able to include primaris units, because I can't see regular marines getting many new units going forward, but I'd like them to fir the HH theme. Has anyone found any good "counts as" models I could used instead? I'd considered using mechanics model from FW, like Thallax or Usrax models as Interceptors, or vorax battle automata as Aggressors.

Race Bannon Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sure, why not? Otherwise, you'll need to hunt for non-GW models. If you go to tournaments, then hopefully that will not be an issue. Share pics!

SickSix Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I am confused. How can you build a 30k army for 40k rules? They don't even have the same unit structure. Are you just using older armor marks and no chest eagles?

Liquidawesomes Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Yeah, it's cosmetically 30k, using older vehicles, armour marks, older weapon packs etc..., but built according to Codex:Space Marines.

Dracos Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Just a suggestion. I think your best bet might be to kit bash heads and shoulder pads from 30 K models onto the Primaris line. That leaves the breastplate as your major obstacle. With careful trimming and green stuff that should (?) be a doable conversion at minimal investment.

With careful trimming and green stuff that should (?) be a doable conversion at minimal investment. I'd hoped to be able to avoid actually using primaris models. My reason is that primaris are an anachronism in HH, but if I could get models that look like they'd be tougher than normal marines, then I could count them as primaris without breaking lore I.E.

Skalpynock Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Inceptors could be represented by Destroyers. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344669-models-for-primaris-units-in-a-30k-army/#findComment-5017817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
