As you might have seen earlier I have been through several designs for my basic infantry - the hypaspists. I had settled on a design I likes quite a lot, though rather expansive as it meant bying several kits for each 10 man squads, however I really liked it. Then GW released the Vanguard/Ranger box...............I was sold. Good good stuff in my book, IMO GW really hit a home run there. Of cause, some slight adjustments was needed, mainly because I did not like the idea of the rangers and vanguard looking so similar. Hence I decided the robes had to go - they are more fitting as camocloaks for a ranger as I see it. Luckily Victoria Miniatures had just released a set of greatcoat legs which would fit perfectly. A bit of guitarwire and we are done - easy and efficient conversion I think.
Very cool! I dig how those VL legs work with the ad-mech torsos!
ReplyDeleteThanks mate, VL has some really great stuff. As I recall you have used quite a few of their bits right?
DeleteThe few pieces I have is all really good quality, is that your impression as well?
Great idea with the legs! Those look really good like that. Lookin forward to seeing these painted up.
ReplyDeleteCHeers MA, glad you like 'em. I find them more "troop" like with these instead of the robes.
DeleteIf I have any complains about the GW models it would be that they lack a little more definition between troops/soldiers and Priest/magi - not we have much in the way of magi - not yet any way. Seems that a new combined codex is on the way, which could include more priest and magi.
