derek Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 So just curious about what the tournament community would do if somebody walked up with sa the 30k jet bikes and said these are my 40k space marine bikes? I mean yes they are different models but really theyre just different because one is longer and on a flying stand. So if they were painted as say imperial fists and i wanted to use them as imperial fists bikes just because im not fond of the gw bike models is that an issue or would most people be totally chill with that?

CaptainA Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I don't think anyone would ever have a problem with that, especially if they were as WYSIWYG as possible, meaning a plasma biker has a plasma gun, a grav biker has a grav gun etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I was curious because i really like thise models over the gw bikes and just wanted to be sure itd work out and i wouldnt show up with a 30k army as its 40k counterpart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Guess that's the next question if theres no similar weapon to say grav as long as im consistent then its totally chill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Guess that's the next question if theres no similar weapon to say grav as long as im consistent then its totally chill? Either bitz order grav or use a weapon that is not replicated in the rest of your army and is consistent across your army. Like Volkite or something.

CaptainA Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Guess that's the next question if theres no similar weapon to say grav as long as im consistent then its totally chill? There are lots of companies that sell little guns that would totally work. Yes as long as it is consistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skkipper Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I am looking to use my space marines as a sisters army because boob armour is dumb. Convert any helmetless model with female head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I did a metric ton of research on this! Was my plan for last year's ofcc. The biggest issue is finding heroic scaled female heads. Only one place I've found that does those. Tried traditional scaled female heads too. Thought that they'd look like regular humans in power armor...they look like children in power armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 They probably do gw just hasnt released it yet just like the random centurion models thst nobody has heard of until boom look at our marines in sode marines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Yes, but they don't have bikers. Your army starts becoming inconsistent if you are running Marines on Jetbikes as Marines on Bikes and Marines on foot as Sisters on Foot. In my opinion.

You're arguing past him. derek didn't bring up sisters, Skkipper did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skkipper Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 I was saying with my sisters comment that as long as you are consistent and cool, Most things work if you try. If you setup your army and give somebody a list they should be able to point out what is what easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 Well if im investing in a 30k army and i want to run models as other models as long as they have equipment like theor 40k counter parts theres no issue in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I did a metric ton of research on this! Was my plan for last year's ofcc.

Thought that they'd look like regular humans in power armor...they look like children in power armor. Statuesque Miniatures has pretty good power armor-scaled heads; depending on the exact model, some others have fairly acceptable ones as well. The heads from DE and Daemonettes can also work in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IW Raptors Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 You'd have to be some straight arse to have a problem with someone using their space marine jet bikers as bikes in 40k. Fortunately I don't think I've met that type of person in miniature gaming yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Jesus, maybe if they didn't have the same avatar. I can't tell them apart, otherwise, it would seem. >_< Mah bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 As an aside, mantic has new enforcer jet bikes that would make an excellent bike army and are super cheap. Gonna be a little bit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
