Lord Chrisius III Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Here's the situation. In my DIY Chapter, Librarians, Commanders, Tech marines and Chaplains are alchemists. They use alchemy to create the same effects as these marine, basically, I have a model, call it an Alchemist, but it counts as a Librarian. So far I have created an Alchemist Librarian, but I am currently using a normal Chaplain and commander. For years now, I have had a twin lightening claws commander with a jump pack as a main leader in my forces, and now I would like to convert an alchemist to represent this model. I am thinking of buying this Sauron model, from the LotR range http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/st...4103&orignav=16. I am unsure what to do for the jump pack, other than having an actual jump pack, and I would like as many suggestions as possible as to how I can create a Commander Alchemist. Thanks. PS - I don't want to sound rude, but I do not want posts about how people feel Alchemist marines would not work.

Daylak Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 the sauron model is much taller than most of the 40k range infantry models (he's about 3" from head to toe), so he might be a bit out of scale to the rest of the army. you might want to look at some of the inquisitors or inquisitor retinue models, perhaps for something robed, and use bits from the command squad sprue (the apothecary's vials and such) or the Fabius Bile model or the like to add to them. not certain the exact "alchemist" look you're going for, but the idea sounds cool!

Lord Chrisius III Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks. I'm not too concerned about him being a little big, I want him to stand out and look "hard" and mean, but then again I do not want him to be too big...

Carados Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I have one with me... he is huge, twice as big as a normal marine and terminators are dwarfed by him. In my own very personnal opinion methinks he would be too big for your commander ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89951-alchemist-conversion/#findComment-1034677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkbunny Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 maybe Inq coatez(spelling? i mean the one with the hammer) with normal sized fists with flaming swords, this would fit the alchemy feel and would justify a reroll to wound, and most importantly, it would look... :blink: ;) :blink: :o :wub: :cuss :) ie: i have mad emyself drool imagining the model PS-i think the new calgar head witth the bionic eye turned into a monacle would look cool mmm... monacle Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89951-alchemist-conversion/#findComment-1034700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyinghippo Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 What about the LotR castellans? http://uk.games-workshop.com/thelordofther.../castellan2.jpg or maybe even Sauran himself (as the necromancer). I'm not sure on the scale of this model... It would also go well with a jump pack... http://uk.games-workshop.com/thelordofther...necromancer.jpg +++ No hotlinking from other sites!

Master Chaplain Astador Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Speaking of Alchemist. The Full Metal Alchemist just started on Adult Swim. Anyway, back to the idea. I like the thought gives me some inspiration for my Inquisitor. I would suggest using the new Inquisitor model from Forgeword, perhaps change the hands and do some nice painting of runes and stuff. Good luck, look foreward to seeing pics. Cheers, MCA.

You guys were aware I meant the necromancer model? If not I am sorry.

I didn't actually look at the link until after I posted :o :) :P so I assumed you meant the original Sauron but still I stand with my opinion after seeing a few painted ones at selected stores selling GW products (GW itself being a prime example ^_^ ), besides he is on a 40mm base which also suggests he's not a baby.

Lord Chrisius III Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Another idea is this guy from forge world http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/inqlok.htm. He looks Alchemist like, but I'd give him a much bigger sword, a lot bigger, think Final Fantasy VII. The problem is, what would be an appropriate alchemised jump pack? I tend to think along the lines of wings, but that seems a bit too Chaosy.
