Kelharis Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 So I converted a Tau Firewarrior, see link to images. Question is, would you object to this conversion representing a Cadre Fireblade? Thanks for input! https://imgur.com/a/dEt3DUM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyraeus Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 O. O that's an amazing conversion. Needs a cloak or something to mark him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could go this route. They work well on infantry. http://www.reddogminis.com/catalog/item/9021373/10276130.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 There are also a number of cape bits available in various kits that might work. He looks pretty awesome, tho, I say def go for it one way or another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a WYSIWYG Cadre Fireblade or Strike Squad Shas'ui. I do agree with @Lyraeus that you should make this model stick out more. If not a cape or any green stuff, perhaps stack two bases on top of each other to make him stand above the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Could also make him stand out in paint, but then you need to have him painted before your field him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ridiculous hat ontop the fire warrior helmeted head. Do it! Super awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Fancy hat and a back banner! It’s a good look. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 The back banner would an easy one. Even without putty, the Hordes makes decent looking plastic back banners for their Skorne. I've seen better ones in metal for actual samurai models, and they'd be easy to make, but if looking for a plastic bit, the Skorne have them.

Ish Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have a massive Samurai army that I built as a “counts as” Empire army for WHFB 8th Edition, mostly Wargames Factory plastics, but a fair amount of other stuff in the mix too. I’ve got heaps of spare sashimono bits... Unfortunately, they’re all in a storage locker in Michigan, otherwise I’d be more than happy to give you some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I gotta ask, why would you pay to store them so far away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ish Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Because when I moved here from there I didn’t have enough room in my luggage to bring them or storage space in our initial tiny apartment. So most of the stuff in the storage locker there would just end up in one here... ...I hope to go back this spring and/or summer and will probably bring a fair amount of gaming stuff back with me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Got it. Consensus is to mount him on a 3 inch plinth with a Superman cape, Samurai banner and a Chaos Dwarf big hat. 😂 Thanks for the input guys. I'll probably try and make a piece of cloth thingy for his back, or just treat him like a cool Shas'ui. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the TAU players was using Camonetting on their riptide, which I thought looked pretty good. I think I'll be doing something like that for my TAU, provided I stick with this faction (Dal'yth).
