So I started converting my Typhus (mostly just an alternate pose) and seem to have lost the stone he’s standing on. Anyone know how to obtain that piece without having to buy a completely new model? If anyone has any ideas I’m open. Or if anyone is willing to trade. I have a ton of parts. Nurgle/death guard, 40K/AOS. If anyone has thoughts I’m open. I really don’t want to have to buy a completely new Typhus just for the terrain piece.

If you're UK based, this site has the piece: https://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/death-guard-typhus-herald-of-nurgle-c-1360_6_56_1115_1119.html?sesid=ivrntsesilel7qv0tl6veqhib6

I've used bitsandkits plenty of times before and they're always good

Oh man! Unfortunately I’m not in the UK. Thank you though. I’ll keep my eye out for bits

Maybe you can soothe your OCD by telling yourself, "It's already a conversion, it's totally fine for him to stand on something else"

Save for three tiny skulls embedded in the side, it's a pretty nondescript slab of broken rocrete, with some rebar sticking out on another side; easy to scratch-build something just as good, if not perfectly alike.

Alternatively, he could be standing on a bunch of skulls, always a classy choice, or a small heap of nurglings. Dead space marine, if you're into that.

 

See, the problem is, this bit isn't an optional, alternate one like intercessor accessories and such. Few of these characters will be out there in the first place, and fewer still will want to part with a bit which makes the figure incomplete if missing. Not even bit stores, I'd imagine.

 

Maybe you could get someone to make a press-moulded copy of theirs, if they've still got it unassembled. I'd do it, but mine's already glued in place.

 

And lastly, sleep on it a night or two, then comb through the suspect areas again. I've got so many parts disappear seemingly into the warp itself, only to mysteriously reappear a few days later in a spot I thoroughly searched before.

I did sleep on it for a night or two. Tried searching. Found a couple other pieces I didn’t even know we’re missing!

 

 

 

That said. I converted one of my ETB Phobos snipers that was kneeling into to a slow walking/stalking pose.

 

 

I'd love to see that. I'm still pondering what to do with mine; Looks good stock, but I'd hate to have two exact copies of the same guy.

Sorry. I’ll try and get a photo up the next say or so

So. I found that piece!!! It was inside a bag with one of my lord of contagions I was going to convert to black legion. I remember now thinking about using it to replace the nurglings...

 

Funny enough now that I found it, I almost like the new piece (from the Phobos snipers) better as it makes the pose seem more actiony (I know. Not a real word)

 

Anyway. Thank you guys for the advice. You guys rock! Also, Mamoth. Sorry for the delay. Got swamped with work/holidays/etc. I’ll try to find my Phobos sniper tonight
