Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I saw a video on the tube of You this week, where a guy had converted his BladeGuard using the Deathwing Terminator pads and shields. How do we think the BT Terminator pads will work on these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Well, you'll have to cut a lot but im no stranger to that. Ny main issue is that the old termie pads lack rims, but that might be ignorable. They're also old like the rest of the upgrade sprue, but I won't hold my breath waiting for a replacement.

tvih Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 For the ones in the Indomitus box you gotta cut a lot, yeah. Though for the separate kit of which the image was leaked, there it'll be easy and the terminator pads are just plug & play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Most of the arms are separate, but you'd need to either dremmel down the pads, which will be a pain in the but, or cut them off entirely and find new upper arms which will also be a pain. Honestly, they are really nice knightly looking pads, I'm just using some shapeways icons to put on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 The clipping doesn't worry me, the beauty of swapping the pads is that you can hide a lot of hacking about. I did it for a few of the DI marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmmmm Napalm Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) I've been told by another user that - as I suspected - the pauldrons used by Bladeguard are the same as Gravis in regards to their size and fittings.

Having built them, I can confirm with 100% certainty they're Gravis Pauldrons Edited July 25, 2020 by Gederas Mmmmm Napalm 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvih Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I wonder why they went that way. I guess it's part of the uparmoring to justify the 3rd wound despite the armor not being strictly gravis. Â Still, I reckon for the Templar Bladeguard specifically I'll just try to get my hands on some crosses rather than replace the entire pad, since most of 'em are going to be these Indomitus guys.

Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've built all my characters and Bladeguard today. I managed to swap the Lt's shield for a FW one, but I haven't done it for the Bladeguard, the problem is in the forearms, the FW shields attach at the wrist with a moulded in hand. The Bladeguard have moulded in forearms, and I wasn't feeling brave enough to try and cut the arm out. Otherwise I managed to swap out one pad on nearly every model. (Chaplain is easy btw) Â I also managed to bash the lower half of a FW dread banner onto the ancient. It looks pretty cool. templargdt 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchomatic Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Don’t tease us. Make with the pics already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sword Brother Adelard Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I'll upload the ancient. The others are all on the undercoating stick in a fair few sub assemblies. Mainly heads, backpacks and shield arms. Â By the way, someone was saying the other day that the Bladeguard swords are too anaemic for Templars, well they're almost exactly the same size and shape as the power sword in the upgrade kit.
