allegedlynerdy Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Well, seeing that the metal regiments are gone, I thought making a brief post about alternatives might be worthwhile for some people. Steel Legion: Warlord Games 28mm German Paratroopers- no gas masks, but otherwise pretty much identical. Might need some messing to get them to carry lasguns. Valhallans- Lots of options for these. Personally I'd try something from anvil industries or Victoria Miniatures Vostroyans- no direct equivalency, but I'd say Anvil Industries has the best option. Mordians- Anvil Industries or Victoria Miniatures Tallarn- I genuinely have no idea Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348285-alternatives-to-the-recently-deceased-metal-regiments/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I should probably update the thread I was working on at some stage. It's mostly a case of finding a better format at the moment.

Harrowmaster Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Here's one of my steel legion plasma guns I built from Anvil if it helps.

Ranulf Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Victoria Miniatures for direct alternatives to the Mordian, Praetorian and Valhallan ranges. With Anvil Industries, you can build the following which are fairly close: Steel Legion: Vostroyan: Valhallan: I starting building these guys last year with a combination of GW and Anvil - they're a bit Steel Legion: - Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348285-alternatives-to-the-recently-deceased-metal-regiments/#findComment-5108608 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyr13 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Another vote for Madrobot for alternate SL. The other options differ a bit too much... MR actually looks like theyd fit right in. Just need some fitting guns (not an issue if youre running shotgun vets) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348285-alternatives-to-the-recently-deceased-metal-regiments/#findComment-5108644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 How about these for Tallarn alternatives (a bit different... but another option)?: https://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=290 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348285-alternatives-to-the-recently-deceased-metal-regiments/#findComment-5108654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranulf Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 How about these for Tallarn alternatives (a bit different... but another option)?: https://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=290 Probably one of the better options on the table. One of the members (ProminusIV) did some fantastic Tallarn-style kitbashing using WHFB Elven archer legs and Mad Robot heads: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343719-vanitor-501st-from-the-ashes-we-rise/?do=findComment&comment=4993037 -Ran Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/348285-alternatives-to-the-recently-deceased-metal-regiments/#findComment-5108664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Just to add; another alternative for Tallarn bits is Reptillian Overlord's Desert Reaver Torsos. Again, I'll try to actually update the bits thread this week.
