Trevak Dal Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Like, take your basic crisis suit and swap out better thrusters, heavier weaponry and manuverability package and you got a Coldstar. https://youtu.be/03LyFK5bscc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Or any other manoeuvrable mech with fly capability. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Man if the plastic Tau fliers weren't so unappealing to me I'd go for a Veritech Valkary conversion (where it's half way between mech and plane). I'm kind of brainstorming a modular Commander model/conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Do you mean look-wise or crunch-wise? Because if you want to do a heavy conversion the look shouldn't be much of a concern anyway. Crunch-wise I think the Sunshark is pretty decent. The bomb wrecks horde and additionally it has up to 12 S7 AP-1 shots (some with D1d3 and some with the option to overcharge for S8 and multi-damage). Oh and two Seeker Missiles and iirc a Markerlight as well lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I don't like how they look is the thing. I might buckle and get me one of each (eventually), but the kits are, man I wish I could find the Advanced Tau Tactica post where a user had made a kitbash between a devilfish and a pihrana as a Pathfinder transport (I think?) And it looked just better than either of the fliers. Especially compared to the forgeworld look. I was wanting a baby bird (...fish?) version of a barracuda or tigershark. But crunch wise the model would be a Coldstar. Conversion heavy idea would be either: Transformers/Centurions/Warframe Archwing style with a base plastic Commander model with magnets where I add on pihrana. Or Valkarie/Mobile Armor halfway between mech and plane, I'd probably use jet plane kit(s) cut up. Maybe one of the Tau fliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focslain Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Try looking at the 1/144 scale gundam line, especially for the kits of the high maneuvering suits, their dirt cheap (around $12 US) and you can kit bash most of their maneuvering gear to a battle suit with little issue. Go for the 1/100 scale if you want to convert up a riptide with the same idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
