Captain Idaho Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 What models do folks use for the Transcendent C'tan? Thinking of using an army with 3 of those bad boys. What do people think makes good conversions? Potentially a Necron walker with special gun to represent certain powers, but also what big alien creatures?

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I am thinking about using a dragon-type model for a void dragon shard, or a ctan shard that's taken the shape of a dragon. Haven't gotten around to it but i might given the sheer powers of the C'tan in the new codex.

NTaW Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I always thought the Transcendent C'Tan kinda looked like Carnage (or Venom, or a lot of various super heroes/villains really). Maybe there's some action figure somewhere just itching to become a mortal wound-dealing monstrosity?

Bonzi Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Morghast Arachni. Two to a box, armored bone ghost things. Add shackles and chains to suit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5042457 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 The Morghast are possibilities but they are a tad heavy set. I kind of like the lithe angle. I have an idea using 3rd edition Wraith bodies. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5042650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Morghast Arachni. Two to a box, armored bone ghost things. Add shackles and chains to suit. Just looked those up. Oof! Good call.

Tyriks Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I wonder if the statue of Khaine on the AoS cauldron of blood would make a convincing Ctan shard with some conversion work. I think it’s lithe, dynamic, and alien enough to work in a pinch. Chop the helmet down some, green stuff tendrils coming out of the spikes. I think that could look really good.

bozo69pd Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Sylvaneth. I use my AoS Sylvaneth as counts as Necrons (dryads are flayed ones, Treelords are C'taan shards). I need to think of some models for wraiths and tomb stalkers though.

Tyr13 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I have an old tombking model that works pretty well... cant remember the name though. Those big guardian things. It works pretty well, scale-wise. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5049639 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyriks Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Exactly how tall are the Deceiver or Nightbringer models? I've never seen one in person. I want to make sure I get the size right.

Captain Idaho Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Pretty tall but they're flying off the ground. A lot of the Nightbringer is robe. I think about as tall as a Contemptor is a good thereabouts.

It works pretty well, scale-wise. Tomb Kings Bone Giant? Remembered the name, Ushabti! As to the size of the Deceiver, it is... *checks* about 3.5" from the bottom of its base to the top of its tentacle... head... things. A contemptor goes about to its shoulders. (theres a bit of leeway there though, it could go as high as 3.75" if it doesnt lean over, I think... So yeah, 3.5 to 3.75" seems to be a good size to aim for.

Tyriks Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thanks guys. What size base is it on? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Monstrous creature base, like dread or DP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050089 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Nope, 40mm. Or at least, thats what it used to be on. Might be 50mm now, though its definitely not 60 (compare the pics in the codex, necrons vs admech - the nightbringer has a way smaller base than the kataphron breachers, which are on 60s) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 wow you are right 40 mm I looked at the picture again. That thing must tip over all the time. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It actually doesnt. At least the metal ones. Theyve got a rather big chunk of decoration on their base, that works as a decent counterbalance.(also, I checked, theyre still 40mm on the store as well) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozo69pd Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Yeah I was looking at the crapcast Nightbringer though. Beautiful model... too bad I can't abide crapcast.

9x19 Parabellum Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I just bought a Deceiver last night, and it's 40mm. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050713 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Finecast isnt too bad these days. Just dont accept any flaws. Check the model in-store, and if theres the tiniest flaw, ask for a replacement.(also, the nightbringer should be pretty good in FC... he a top-heavy model with very few fine details and spikes. Should have few, if any, casting flaws) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x19 Parabellum Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 yeah it's a pretty decent model for finecast. Goes together easy. Only issue is the "cloth" that goes across his front. Doesn't line up perfectly and there is a fairly tiny gap.

A good 2, 3mm. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345664-ctan-conversions/#findComment-5050858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
9x19 Parabellum Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Yep, deceiver. 2-3 Milimeters?? Ugh. That's colossal/horrible. Sorry man. The gaps in mine are about the same as a piece of scotch tape.
