Adding new legs to old termis plus a bit of a waist should make a big improvement tho I think (digital mockup). obviously the new legs will need additional bling too. That is grossly overexaggerated due to the Blood Angel terminator's crouching pose. In similar poses it is at most half a head's difference.

Khornestar Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Yeah I’m a bit skeptical of not using actual photos for comparison. For various reasons folks just don’t get them right. I have yet to see a CSM/NuIndomitis photo comparison. eyedrops and Sea Creature 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you think they fit on the same table together and don't look weird, I'm not going to argue! Scale bothers some people more than others, and I'm definitely in the camp that prefers the new scale to the point I want to rebuild my own minis, but everyone is entitled to their own approach.

That's a pretty extreme pose on that lunging BA terminator though, I'd say whoever did that has picked the shortest possible termie model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only BA assault terminator available in this gallery a couple of weeks ago - my goal of the pic was to see what he would look like with new legs for myself, since those are the exact models I wanna do surgery to, as opposed to trying to make the point if it's needed or not! (I just re-used that same pic as an example) As above, that's purely a personal decision. I know a number of people are happy with Mark IV and the new mark VI in the same squad, while doing it myself makes my teeth itch! The customer is always right in matters of taste etc. Edited June 6, 2023 by Arkhanist apologist and Xenith 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 head height difference only goes so far anyway. I wouldn't wanna mix old and new terminators because the legs of the old would just bug me. They're tiny. the torso's are tiny. I realize i'm in a particular minority here, the same attitude precludes me from mixing classic marines with primaris (though I'll gladly stick classic helmets on them). kamedake88, Crimson Longinus and Dracos 2 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonGSides Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'll really just need to get my hands on a MPK to see if I want to try to upgrade my old ones. I think just leg replacement will be fine, but I still am worried about them just look like mutants at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frogian Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I'm putting mine together now and they are seriously fantastic models. i got back into 40k after about 15 years out due to my brother getting DI and seeing how great the primaris models looked and felt, and these termies are giving me the exact same feeling.

I posed a few pics here in the Deathwatch forum. I suspected as much from review pics. It's small enough that swapping both arms from existing kits shouldn't look weird, but having one old and one new does look slightly out. For doing a shoulderpad swap on the new arm, eyeballing it, I'd say a chapter pad would need to be printed at about 105%. My box isn't arriving until Monday at least, but I'll update when I've tested it. Edited June 23, 2023 by Arkhanist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xirix Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Wow, well to be fair this isn't the first time GW have lied about the size of a thing, back when the new Monolith was coming out for the crons they insisted multiple times it was a bigger model, it's literally the same size, it might even be a little smaller. Best not to take GW at their word, unfortunately. Bryan Blaire, beefeb and Kastor Krieg 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
