andy Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 For as beautiful as the rest of the range is, those Kastelans are so 50s Sci-Fi retro. Yeah, though that look is reflected elsewhere. Check out the puffy powerfist on their boss... feels very atomic-retro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, though that look is reflected elsewhere. Check out the puffy powerfist on their boss... feels very atomic-retro I guess so. It reminded me of the Fists in the IG line, so I didn't bother comparing it to it's own line lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have decided my Kastelans will have Googly Eyes. There is no way that model can go wrong with Googly Eyes. Also, I will only be purchasing two of them, and they will be named Hack and Slash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aventine Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I think the robots need a little head swap and they won't be so derpy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterman Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah swap the heads and add some mechanicum wires and such and the robots will work just fine. Which is prolly for the best, want to flex my conversion skills a bit more with this army anyways. That datasmith is sweet though, so cool. Those rules look fun. Can't wait to reflect back D weapons onto some Wraithknights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spagunk Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Were I to buy them robits, I'd have to take off their heads and replace them with something that looks like the head on castellax/thanatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frowbakk Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'll be doing a "Half-Shattered" visor with a Servo skull behind it. Fortunately, I've got conversions to cover the Electropriests and tracked guys (just add torsos to my already magnetized Rapier conversions), and plenty of Techpriests for the rest Two Kastelan with the full shooty upgrade can reliably mow down a 5 Marine unit on the move or a full 10 marine unit using their 'Double Tap if Stationary' Protocol, so expect to see them as common allies. I can't wait to get the kit, chop it up for ease of re-posing, and start the conversion frenzy. With the new Knight Fist, throwing a dead Kastelan at an enemy unit would do as much damage as throwing a Land Raider, so go figure... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Frowbakk, you know how much I loved your GK Ad Mech army, I'm seriously on pins and needles waiting to see what you come up with now that you have an actual codex for them. I'm seriously excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
