Danny Cyanide Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hey guys, So I'm planning on buying a few start collecting Tempests boxes and I'm wondering if anyone has any good ideas for what to do with all the Commissars that I'll wind up with. Ok open to any suggestions! duz_ and Aothaine 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Well, you can always give one a powerfist. I exchanged the pistol arm with one from the scion sprue (and replaced the sword with a pistol from the same sprue), which gives a bit of variety, pose-wise... you can also do head-swaps, or even a genderswap. Works pretty well with the plastic commissar, you just need a decent head, maybe slim down hands and feet a bit.A completely different direction would be to build one as a command/commissar tank. just build the top half and stick it into a cupola.Beyond that... things start getting more difficult. Maybe an Inquisitor or rogue trader? Or just sell the surplus on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private Jenkins Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) I turned some of mine into Company Commanders: An easy kitbash, and a useful one. If only the Start Collecting box came with a command squad and not a Commissar. It's all I would buy Edited February 25, 2018 by Private Jenkins duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral_80 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It does not help that the Commissar in the Start collecting MT is one of the worst goddamn awful Commy miniatures ever I guess your best bet is to try to convert it into a Company commander. Or perhaps even a priest or psyker, with some more work. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'm Heckus Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I swapped sword and head to make a praetorian company commander. I still have 2 more I need to sort out... Did they really need to put the commissar in both the AM and MT start collecting sets? Wouldn’t a command squad have made more sense for the AM set? They’re around the same price. (Grumble, grumble, grumble). I know, I know, it’s a marketing thing to push specific models and make you WANT to buy the individual boxes rather than the bargain sets. But still, It’s irksome. << rant terminated >> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Reuse the model for an Inquisitor disguised as a Rogue Trader (see Ciaphas Cain's stereotypes regarding Inquisitors in 'For the Emperor', republished in the 'Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium' omnibus), for a Deathwatch or Adepta Sororitas army? walter h 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 You could also Chaosify one of them up as a ruined Commissar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siax Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I made a decent Primaris Psyker out of him. Give him a staff instead of the plasma pistol. Give him an empty hand instead of the sword, and take a guard head and "shave" it :-) quick and dirty walter h and duz_ 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
