Nehekhare Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 since the head dome/fishbowl is obviously inacceptable, which version would you prefer as an alternative? http://i.imgur.com/Tw7l5Jwl.jpg integrated into torso: http://i.imgur.com/1zHjhcBl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QwM4ajvl.jpg post your answer/further suggestions below! http://i.imgur.com/RU5cdyGl.jpg (Datasmith approves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Hmm, number 2 looks best in my opinion, but can we see number 5 integrated with the torso as well just for fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like number 3 a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like all except 5. My favorite is 2, but I'd use all except 5 to mix it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Blank Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like the Defiler bit (#3) but I'd keep the others close to hand if you plan to build several of those robots. I also see a mold line on the datasmith's left hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shard of Magnus Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 2 is my favorite, but the defined hit is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Blaire Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 2, 3, and 4 are all :tu: in my book, and look awesome. Wonderful inspiration here, Nehekhare! :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardCoil Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 2. All of them look far better than the original. Looking forward to seeing the final model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Ohh, since I am planning something similar for my own Kastelan models, it makes me really happy to see the defiler head work pretty well like that! Thanks for sharing! As for the question at hand, I think all of the options you have already tried with the torsos work reasonably well, although 2 and 3 are a step above the rest, in my opinion, followed by 4. Since you have the kit on hand, would it be possible to add one of the normal defiler faceplates without a hitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorthaur Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I like option 3, the dark eldar ones im unsure about.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighGothic Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 2 and 3! You have made me like the kastelans already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 on popular demand: http://i.imgur.com/dSICnsIl.jpg btw as you can see here on the left hand of the left robot, there is a round cavity inside the power fist that would allow for a weapon barrel to be fit in. As far as weapon swaps go, this would make for a nice "combined arms" alternative without magnetizing everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 That's awesome of you, mate: Thanks a lot! I am now really psyched for my own Kastelan conversions. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick up my models tomorrow and get right to work ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 What are pieces 2 & 4, they looks awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsanity Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/1zHjhcBl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/QwM4ajvl.jpg Wow, while I was warming up to these bots, you single handedly convinced me they were worth the expense, these are miles ahead of the originals. Thank you. + Edit : of these, 2, 3 and 4 are my favorites in no specific order. I now wonder what Sicarian Infiltrator heads might look like (if one could find a suitable way to attach 'em) on there... o.Ô Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehekhare Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 What are pieces 2 & 4, they looks awesome! thanks, those are faceplates from the dark eldar talos sprue. I now wonder what Sicarian Infiltrator heads might look like (if one could find a suitable way to attach 'em) on there... o.Ô good suggestion! On a first look, I think they might be too small, tough.

DC87 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Great idea to improve the bots, 2 looks great and fits the Forgeworld Mechanicus image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJacksUserName Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 3! I had the same idea when I saw the kastellans. Though, I was planning to have the original head half blasted off and have that bit showing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I like 2 and 3 the most. And the Datasmith too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
