[Archive] Infernal Guard Idea

theforgefather:

Hi guys,

As you may know, I have a CD army, 1/2 with hats, 1/2 unconverted. So I am going to give hats to the infernal guard I have ATM, and masks/helmets to the rest. But, I was thinking that for non hat IG, could I use the old Chaos warrior bodies, bit shorten the legs and waist. Their head are in the right place for a chaos dwarf, and they are well armoured.



Here’s a similar idea that Thommy H has done for GH15 a while back:



So do you think it could easily be done for 30+ minis?

Thanks

The conversion looks nice and easy to do, but…

Thommy H… you desecrating old sod!!! How dare you waste rackham bitz on inferior GW models!!! :smiley:

I converted one of the models many years ago to a CD. Chop a chunk out of the arms between the shoulder pad and the elbow. It looks better.

I forget if I also cut some out of the wrist.

It is possible, but it is a lot of work and some of the legs will require a lot more work than others. Also, can you even buy these parts cheaper than FW IG?

theforgefather:

eBay! 10 for a tenner may not be the cheapest, but you could get 30+ if buying from the right seller for less than the price of a FW pack of 10!

Hashut’s Blessing:

CDO Does not condone the purchasing/acquirement of illegally recast items and asks that members refrain from positively encouraging such actions.

theforgefather:

What on earth are you on about HB??

theforgefather:

I was saying 30 OOP CHAOS WARRIORS for less than the price of the FW CHAOS DWARFS.

Just because something’s cheap, doesn’t mean its fake!
