Hi-yall! (terrible southern accent). I was just reading my childhoods end tpb, and was really hoping to bring some mutant goodness to 40k. I was looking to convert the Characters Dust, X-23, Mercury, and maybe Anole. I can't find any pics, but can describe them to you.

Dust: Looking to convert her to wear a what is called an abaya, and a nibaq for her face. This pretty much means that she is wearing a cloak, and face mask revealing only her eyes. In combat she will function as having a flamer/ heavy flamer for her sand storm powers.

X-23: I wanted to convert her in the pants and tank top deal, not her skirt and bodice from her solo series. I figure she'd have lightning claws in combat, and some sort of auspex to represent her ultra sharp sense, plus always striking first in combat.

Mercury: I decided to convert her the clothes she wore during the Mecury falling arc. In combat she would have (chain/power) sword(s?) to represent her blade arms, and a bolt pistol.

Anole: I figured I'd convert him in the jeans and t-shirt from the dark childe incident thing. His combat would be bolt (pistol/er?), and a power axe/sword/fist.

If I get some figs soon, I pickup some green stuff and use it, but not sure which range I wanna use for the different models.

Comment crit always welcome.

Interesting ideas for conversions, but what would you use them as, and in what army ?

( see ? told you someone would comment soon )

EDIT : Sorry, couldn't resist ! Temptation Waaaaay to great.

Give them a copy of RT and tell them to think themselves lucky, most of the kit back then you had to make up for yourself ( it had it's good points when it came to scratch building vehicles though, just bloody awful rules !)

Well thats what happens when you start out making a game like this. lots of trial and error lol. Shoot Id let you play with those mionis, But Youd have to let me use something Ive made up from points in a codex

What the heck happened to the regular X-Men?

Blue team, gold team, etc...

Marvel is wasting the X-Men name with all these new half assed mutants...

I was really happy when the 'Ultimate' lines of comics came out a few years back...

Have you ever looed into the Heroclix range? I don't know if they have all those characters, but it's worth a look.

40K'ers tend to bash it, but Heroscape would be a pretty good game to run them in. To the game's credit, it does a decent job of protraying super powers and has a Marvel expansion. It has more of a skirmish feel than a tactical one and units tend to be either IC's or squads of 3-5 models.

I did some work translating 40K units from various armies into Heroscape, to allow my son a way to play with my models when he was younger and more inclined to break them accidentally.
