I’m going to use the new Praetor models as...

[Danosborne]

So the new Forgeworld Praetor models have finally been released! They were my inspiration to start a word bearers army when they were shown last year and so far I have about 1700 points painted up. I’m thinking of using the power armour guy as an exalted champion and the terminator as a sorcerer, primarily because the weapon loadouts work and I’m not good at converting. I was just interested to see what thoughts everyone else had on using these in games of 40K, or if anyone is planning any cool conversions or kitbashes for them.

The new Word Bearers minis are great and would certainly look lovely in a 40K force!  I may get them for my Black Legion at some point.

I like the look of them, however I dislike the fact that they sold out in 5 minutes

If I can ever get ahold of them, the terminator will be a sorcerer for me too. Love the model and don’t really need to change anything, like you said.

I believe the Praetor in power armor is still available.

Any idea how large the Terminator one would be compared to our new plastic Terminators? Very interested...

I'll be using them as Praetors :D

 

For 40k, I'll probably use the terminator as a sorceror.

Probably close in size. The most recent Dark Angels kits in power armor were just shy of the new CSM in height, so they are scaling up the HH models. Can see the PA praetor has volume at the waist to add vertical height like the new CSM ones.
