Hobbes Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey hows it going? WIP as usual, with an "Integrated" Servo Harness... http://www.hobbyhawk.com/Techpriest.jpg he has twin-linked plasmapistol, Bolter, Flamer, CCW, 2x Powerfists/Servo Arms... and a nonchalant walking through battle to fix things pose... only thing he needs now is a power weapon... and some servitors, but I haven't decided on how to build those yet.. Would it be wrong to have Marine "Servitors"? Sorta like apprentice Tech-Priests? C&C appreciated... oh And I'm leaving on a road trip, be back after the fourth!

Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Would it be wrong to have Marine "Servitors"? Sorta like apprentice Tech-Priests? Well those who are unable to become Marines for various reason (gene-seed implants don't take for example) are used by the Chapter in other tasks as Serfs. No reason a few folks may not be turned into servitors (particularly if their brain gets fried during the process of becoming a Marine).

LordXaras Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think what he meant was if it would be feasible to use "Trainee Techpriests" as proxy servitors. The background says that all neophytes that show technical talent are shipped off to Mars to get trained, and return to the chapter as full-fledged Techmarines, but I'm sure there are loopholes to find. Say that they are gaining their Work Experience in addition to their studies at Mars, or that the Techmarine is just preparing them with some skills before they are sent off for training. EDIT: Almost forgot: lovely model :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90736-me-as-a-techmarine/#findComment-1043770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 There are the "apprenta" mentioned in the 3rd ed 'dex as part of the armoury. I always took those to be the aspirants with technical potential, before they got shipped to mars. Very nice model though...

Warcrafter Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Didn't some Black Templar chaplain use failed neophytes as servitors? Also a very nice model indeed :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90736-me-as-a-techmarine/#findComment-1043781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T14 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Would it be wrong to have Marine "Servitors"? Sorta like apprentice Tech-Priests? Go for it. Just make them visibly less elaborate (LR chest plates, etc.) and keep their options clearly visible and you should be fine IMHO. Do you intend for them to be all the same servitors or mix & match? (4 CC "servitors" would look ACE) Cheers -t14 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90736-me-as-a-techmarine/#findComment-1044043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Q- Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Always happy to see you Hobbes :lol: I went with the wash-out theme like Kurgan mentioned. I used Scout torsos and legs with a mix of heads. They're Templar themed so I did some hoods and some Marauder helmets with the horns taken off. For the arms I used Middenheim since they have the big armored gauntlets and robey arms. Seems like you want to go a little more Mariney with yours but Scouts are a good base to consider.

Aquilla Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 How about failed neophytes who had wanted to become techmarines as servitors. Love the integratedness of the weapons.

pinkbunny Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I use assistants instead, from memory... one has a shovel and pick for those terrain immobilized results... one has a welding gun and scanner thingy... one is abot to whack someone with a wrench... and the last is carrying a roll of holy ducttape Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90736-me-as-a-techmarine/#findComment-1044183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
