Uprising Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hello everyone I am wondering what bits are require to build these guardsmen(They are PDF for a knight house). Here are some pictures. What are your thoughts? If I can figure it out, I would consider making a regiment of them(That or go DKOK). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofish7591 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 They look like Tempestus Scions to me, just with a little extra details like the scales and the dragon on the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanicus Tech-Support Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Off the top of my head I'd consider using the sydonian dragoon rider head which matches fairly well to the picture (helmet spike, covered face) while for the carapace armour I'd use the scions model. Though getting enough dragoon heads for an army may be a little difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Scion bodies and legs, greenstuff the skirt, either skitarii or scion backpack, Stahlhelm death masks for the heads (maybe add a bit more of a spike) Of course getting hold of the Krieg bits might be a bit of a pain in the ass though. To agree with Robo above though, they are basically scions with skirts, a computer on each arm, and a fancy helmet and paintjob. You could alternatively just go for Anvil bits if the scion stuff doesnt work out - Legs (with skirt part, but not layered, also do static version), Torso http://anvilindustry.co.uk/image/cache/catalog/Regiments/Heads/stahlhelm-deathmask-sprue-800x800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofish7591 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The scion box does come with one head with the spike. The 3d models above just appear to be more stylized than the actual minis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yeah, they look like Tempestus Scions with just a head swap. These heads would probably work: http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/product/male-pickelhelm-heads-gasmasks-x10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The CG image looks awesome, but is your Regiment affiliated with the Alpha Legion in any way? The colors, the scales on the right pauldron, and the serpent on the left, all bring the Chaos Space Marine Legion to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colors, the scales on the right pauldron, and the serpent on the left, all bring the Chaos Space Marine Legion to mind.They're the guard from dawn of war 3. The dragon and scales is based on the knight Solaria pilots. Alpha legion is a hydra not a dragon as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto von Bludd Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Wait these are from DoW III? Could we be looking at a future Guard model here? I don't own DoW III but I own the previous two and every unit in those games was/is a GW model. This would explain the aesthetic similarities to the Scions as many people have speculated that whatever models eventually replace the Cadians will be distinctly grimdark gothic in the same vein as scions...

WarriorFish Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 They look cool, but as mentioned are mostly Scions. Maybe you could look at different shoulder pads but other than the helmet they're pretty much stock - so should be nice and easy to do ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Anvil industry stalhelm with gasmask looks more accurate than the deathmask. Also from the same company, look for exo-lord medieval pauldrons. They look pretty close to the game model's shoulder pads. Slap those on a stock scion and you should be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I think the Victoria Miniatures Pickelhaube w/ gas I linked to mask is pretty much an exact match: http://product-images.highwire.com/12550906/pickelhelm-gas.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hello everyone I thank you for the advice. I am still waiting for 8th(as many) to see the changes on the game. Let see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
