Easy to Build Reivers into Infiltrators/Incursors

[ShinyRhino]

Anyone used the spare bits from the Infiltrators/Incursors kit to turn the E2B Reivers into additional models yet? Looking at the sprues (my box is still at the FLGS waiting for me), you get four extra carbines, four extra pack antennae and full sets of heads for whichever version you don't build from the sprues.

 

The only WYSIWYG hurdle is the combat blade sheaths for Incursors go on a thigh where the Reiver legs already have pouches. Maybe build the Incursors from the kit and the extra Infiltrators from the Reiver bodies?

 

I'm trying to maximize my dollars and bits, and bits buying bodies and backpacks is more expensive than E2B kits.

I haven't done it yet, but it wouldn't be hard - all the arms and pauldrons are separate on the E2B Reivers and you would only need to snip off the pegs that the arms normally go on, then make sure the surface is nice and flat to attach the Infiltrator arms.

I found a bunch of examples on Instagram. It's doable and looks quite good.

The E2B Reivers have their combat blade sheaths behind the torso.

It shouldn’t be too hard to use you extra pieces with these bodies. I’ve mostly used them to convert/kitbash several squads from the phobos line in order to save a little cash.
