Calistarius Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Would you mind telling me in that kit what is it exactly that makes the shield captain different from these guys? Is it just the bare head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellex_The_Thanatar Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Would you mind telling me in that kit what is it exactly that makes the shield captain different from these guys? Is it just the bare head? It is indeed. I used spare hair pieces from the allarus kits to fancy mine up a bit since I hate bare heads.

Calistarius Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 That’s good to know. So if you’re able to find enough heads you could indeed make 3 captains from one box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can make any three of them captains different head or not. You would be advised to be able to differentiate for your opponent though.

wildweasel Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 All my Captains are getting their skirts in purple instead of the red of the rest of the army. And my jetbike captain has a honking huge daemon skull on his base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calistarius Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Thanks! I understand. I’m not familiar with the kits, and just really want to be sure there isn’t a distinct difference in wargear appearance or anything for the Captain. Just have to be sure before I pull that $60 trigger! I want to add these fellas to my current Blood Angels force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betrayer41 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I believe one of the head tail thins is significantly longer than the others that’s what I’m doin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildweasel Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I believe one of the head tail thins is significantly longer than the others that’s what I’m doin At least a bit longer, but it's not like the Allarus kit which gives you 3 "standard" plumes and one for the Captain, it just has the three. Literally the only Captain "specific" bit is the bare head. Calistarius 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constantine Valdor Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I was planning on drawing a stripe on the bike or painting the eagle a bit differently to stand out. wildweasel 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noigrim Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Well since I plan on running a command detach of 3 captains that's not an issue for me, the star shield can be the warlord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanewatts Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Kitbashed/converted one of my bikes to make a clear and defined Shield Captain on bike. (Which is usually the relic bike anyway.)

Kinstryfe Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Once I finish painting what I already have and pick some up, I'm thinking I'll likely do something on the base that can be removed/added to denote captaincy. I make sculpted bases anyway, so it should be easy to do. That or find a similar spot to add a pin to hold something on the bike. I'm thinking maybe the backpack banner things from the MkIV marine kit (since I have a bajillion) as an easy way to mark it as "promoted". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoic Raptor Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 What about the whip aerials from the ground bike kits? You could probably make a suitable streamer for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
