Realmhead Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hello all! So I'm planning a Free City army based near the Rusting Wastes in Chamon. Unfortunately, the current handgunner kit doesn't match what I have in mind, so I've decided to convert my own. To that end, I've come here to ask for advice on how best to go about that. My current plan is to us Skitarii Ranger torsos/coats/guns with Genestealer Neophyte legs. I'm still looking for heads, preferably something hooded and/or with a scarf or cloth covering the lower face (maybe wildwood rangers?). My biggest worries are if the legs will physically fit inside the coats of the torso, and what I'm going to do to the chest piece to make it look less technological. Thanks all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eorek Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 That's the kitbash I've been using to make mine. It's basically a greatsword + skitarii kitbash. Would be real easy to add a hooded head instead of the ones I am using (thinking dark riders maybe?) 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realmhead Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 Those look fantastic! I might end up following your example, though they aren't quite what I had in mind. Thanks for the suggestion on the dark riders, those heads may very well work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flemingmma Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 wildwood rangers gives you the most amount of hooded heads per kit now that glade guard have been discontinued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilberfrid Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 There are also Necromubda heads that might suit you. Try a bits site to get a lot of them. If you are going for Greatswords, Demigryphs or Pistoleers, you'll also get a lot of spare heads. Iirc 10 spare heads in pistoleers, 5 in demis, 12 in greatswords.

Realmhead Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 I decided to pull the trigger, and I'm liking the result so far. I need to work on my green stuff skills, but I'm hoping it'll be good enough to pass once painted. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarquin Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Looking great!!! 👍 A cool idea for sure, Aqshy and Chamon have the environments perfect for this kind of wasteland nomad look, I used Cawdor gang figures for my hand gunners who represent a regiment posted on the plains of Aqshy from Tempests Eye as part of the rotation fo units and have become somewhat ragged as a result of their posting, but your use of Skitarii definitely makes them look like a cohesive fighting unit. Don't suppose you mind if I use this combo of parts for a couple of my figures do you? Full credit given to yourself of course!! 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind at all, knock yourself out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
