tbh I actually havent bought from Forge World yet. However growing up as an artist, you tend to see people spend ludicrous amounts of money on what I consider to be pisspoor paintings. The Hierophant, by a longshot, is much more sensable and cheap compared to those (at least this thing is something you can call your own, and actually use in a game. Paintings literally just sit on the wall collecting dust)

Given that a converted Stompa from a bucket is actually a decent and acceptable idea, I do apologise for misunderstanding you. However using a Bucket to represent a Hierophant though, that's really just trying to be a WAAC player.

Also, I think me and loki discussed this earlier, but the Hierophant actualyl gives you the best points-to-dollar ratio of any of the titans, costing less than a full warhound but giving you almost twice the points (as well as being actually worth the points).

I'd let him. If the scratch built was decent. If he made a rubbish attempt, then no.

While I get that particular point, I have to ask: if he has a family to support that badly, why is he playing 40k? The Hierophant would be something that you'd take time to save up for, not buy on an impulse. Given the amount of time one has between apoc games, it's not entirely unreasonable that the person in question would have been able to save up enough money for one, or properly convert one.

That and there's no actual requirement to field the damn thing in an Apoc match.

I have to agree, if it's gotten so bad that he can't buy models because he has to support a family, I'd question whether it's wise to be spending the kind of money on 40k to begin with.

I also apologize, as it seemed like you were saying you had a bucket on the table, and said the bucket was a stompa. If it's a proper conversion, that looks cool then awesome. More powere to you.
