Kaoshin Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Heyo, everyone. I was given a Riptide today with the condition that I convert it into an Y'vahra battlesuit. I've fallen in love with said suit as far as it's rules go but I've been proxying it with just a regular riptide. As crafting goes some of you may remember I'm not a huge customizer. I model, paint when I must and then play play play, so this is a little intimidating for me. Do any of you have some suggestion for how I could turn this: http://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Tau-Empire-XV104-Riptide-Battlesuit into this?: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Tau-XV109-Y-Vahra-Battlesuit Thanks!

pretre Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Looks mostly like you'll need some gun swaps to make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Some modifications to the Ion Accelerator should do for the right arm. The left is probably gonna be a bit more work. Maybe some tubing and spare Plasma Rifle bits, and then whatever you can scrounge up to bulk up the arm itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoshin Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I definitely see the ion accelerater getting converted into the right arm. For the flamer I definitely have spare plasma rifle bits but they seem kinda small. Thinking maybe green stuff some larger tubes to bulk up the actual weapon if I can't find some suitable bits. Any suggestions on how to handle that giant jet pack? I don't really have anything that bulky so was pondering doing something with spare devilfish engines between the jet packs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yeah, the Plasma Rifle bits, I was thinking just for the very ends of the barrels, with something else there to make it bigger. I can't think of anything better than Devilfish engine pods for the jump pack. Maybe just take a quick browse through a hardware store, see if there's a filter or something that's cheap, looks cool, and is about the right size.
