dice4thedicegod Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 As I don’t play at a GW, I don’t even restrict myself to GW plastics. As long as it is the right size, the right look/aesthetic , and wysiwyg, I’m happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Agreed and that’s completely reasonable plus awesome conversion opportunities rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Given how bad the fit and finish is on the Fellblade model I think it's probably easier and more straightforward to convert it from a plastic Baneblade Seriously, I almost bought one from a guy when I first decided to make a 30k army as I love how it looked...then I saw the gaps...

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 The Fellblade has a very distinct turret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Huh, and here I am thinking of converting a Heresy baneblade from a Fellblade. It's got a very distinct turret Noserenda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACK BLŒ FLY Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Where’s the gaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fajita Fan Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Sure, this is where 3D printing a round frame to act as a jig for plastic panels comes in. The body of a Fellblade can be very tough to assemble with big gaps and seams around the track guard, drive wheels, and front end which is sad considering the cost of the kit. I had a link saved somewhere (might have even been this forum) where a guy found a dome shaped piece of plastic at a hardware store that is perfectly sized for a Fellblade turret but I may have deleted it before getting one. Doesn’t really matter as I can build a 3D printed dome easily enough to start from. There should be a contest for the best plastic FW conversion! There’s some really talented people here.
