allfatherstudios Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Do you guys think that this conversion from Forge World would work on the Tartaros Terminators from GW? I love the weapons that the Tartaros have visually. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/World-Eaters-Terminators-Conversion-Set Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347963-world-eater-tartaros-terminator-conversion-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreal Cruelty Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 If you file down the pauldron mounts on the arms, yes it would work fine. Wouldn't even need to file them down too much. They might seem a little bulky on the Indomitus pattern torsos, but probably not too bad.

allfatherstudios Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Anyone have a size comparison for a Terminator and Tartaros from GW I looked a little but found nothing.

Quixus Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I don't think they would work on tartaros arms, but consider these pads and/or these insignia.

Grotsmasha Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Which parts from the kit? The heads and torso's could be made to work with Tartaros kits, but the shoulder pads are completely not compatible with Tartaros arms.

Grotsmasha Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Not the FW Khorne bits, but 3rd party Thousand Sons ones which are similar enough, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347963-world-eater-tartaros-terminator-conversion-help/#findComment-5100540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Nerds with boxing gloves look wrong ;) Seriously though that kitbash looks great. If you maybe enlarge the collar a bit and put a MkIV/Tartaros helmet in the body piece you would have very nice Tartaros Terminators. Minor criticism, I think the upper part of the shoulder pads should be in contact with the torso.

It's just 'tacked together for the pic, the pads were attached to the torso, but would sink for the pic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347963-world-eater-tartaros-terminator-conversion-help/#findComment-5100596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
allfatherstudios Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I don't think they would work on tartaros arms, but consider these pads and/or these insignia. I have the forge world world eaters shoulders. Could you elaborate as to why they wouldn't work with the torso and shoulder pads from the forge. Could I not simply shave the arm down to fit?

Grotsmasha Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 You'll actually need to go the other way, as the Tartaros arms have no .... "attachment" point for shoulder pads like traditional terminator arms. You'll need to build up the arms or fill the pads with greenstuff etc., but it is doable, just more involved than going the other way :tu: Cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347963-world-eater-tartaros-terminator-conversion-help/#findComment-5100719 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make a relief with green stuff of the regular Terminator inner shoulderpad than greenstuff them onto the model using a mold.

allfatherstudios Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 Just to be 100% clear I'm using the GW version not the Forge world version for the Terminators.. the World eater conversion kit is the only thing From forge world. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/920x950/99120101171_TartarosTerminators01.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/347963-world-eater-tartaros-terminator-conversion-help/#findComment-5100910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 The outstretched arms (Sgt., two bolter arms) will probably be problematic as the Indomitus pads reach further down than the Tartaros pads.
