Hey all! I've been working on a couple XV-8 Crisis Shas'vre pilots and I'm read to show off the conversion. Nothing too fancy for a first modeling post, but we all have to start small right?


A standard ATT inspired jetpack consolidation with Drop Pod bitz on the sides. I like to run my Firestorm Shas'vre's with a FB and HWMT, and since I have plenty of ML's in the list already I figure I could use they extra meltas.


You'll notice one is fresh off the assembly line while the other is making a last stand. His leg has been blown off, but he's not going down without a fight. Battle damage was achieved using a common exacto knife.


Like I said, the side circle vents on the jetpacks are from SM Drop Pods. I believe they are supposed to go on the bottom of the pod. Also, the top and left arm weapon hardpoints are magnetized with 2mm magnets from Gaussboys. The HH BC's are too heavy I think for the magnets, so I green stuffed them.

And that's it! Any criticism is welcome. My goal was to make poses that told a story instead of just looking cool.

their legs looks alittle longer after you repositioned it.

which is a great thing! Now they look normal not like static
mcdonald happy meal toys that GW made lol.

I like the use of Devilfish blast cannons. A bigger magnet would hold them.

I've always thought that underslung weapons on the arms would look better than on the back of the arm as they are normally mounted. And I like what you've done with the jump packs. Any chance at another pic of them from the back? Looks like you cut and repositioned them closer together, but I'd like a closer look.
