Recitors proxy.
« on: October 23, 2006, 06:15:15 PM »
I want to convert one of my Ducal militia squads into recitors. The rifles they have sort of look like shotguns. To make the conversion I was thinking of trimming off the clip from the gun,  and modifying their packs to convey a guerilla trooper. Would anyone object to this proxy. I am kind of hoping to add some shock soldats as well. I want to expand my forces abilities and some guerilla troopers are very appealing.

-scratches head-


Now why would we mind if you modify and proxy existing figures into other unreleased figures?

I'd only mind if you didn't show pictures or have progress reports.

Object?  No.

Salute?  Yes!

Proxies are the way of the future.

I had thought about using the pauldon Sgts as base and sculpting some cloaks on to them but I can't find enough of them to make it worth the effort.

No one objects to proxies, as long as they're not GW OPPPOS (G.W. Over-Priced Plastic Piece's o' sshhhi...llings).

Cool.

I wanted to stay righteous with my army, so I figured I would ask.

get creative...I have to use proxies all the time for some of my Mishima models that were never made...

and some GW models work really well...like Death Cult Assassins for Kikigomae monks...

Well if that worries you maybe I should skip on that ducal mounted machine gun conversion. I found an odd vulkan arm just lying around.

I plan on using the Void Junkers Lrgionnaires as Legates and one particular one as the basis for an Executioner

That's a rockin' idea! 

The Void Viridian Mounted MG is a good Ducal Militia mounted HMG, but last I check Prince August had a couple (DM, not Void).

  One of the players around here actually took five of the Dragoon Sgts and made Legates with them; its the  Right shotgun after all...  she added axes and they looked really sweet!

last night I saw an excellent proxy for either Recitors or Ministry of Justice Legates...

the Void game had a unit of Junkers Shock Troops that are amed with Shotguns (and a shield, which can go away) and clsoe combat weapons (swords on the models)...

just letting y'all know...

I took 10 of the new Hussars 8 Sgts+1 HMG converted to FT + 1 Kaptain to use as Grenadier and added the axes fron the Imperial Headhunters when you could get the bits and made a full Legates squad. I also used the Judge from Chronopia just cut down the shoulder pads as the Executioner and 2 special agents as his bodyguards.

Stalker uses the Chronopia Judge unmodified (he has a Firstborn force) for his Executioner, and for the Bodyguards he uses some Void minis (I don't know which ones)...

Another friend of mine also used the Junkers mounted models as Mounted Hussars, and they look lamost exactly the same as the Warzone versions...
