I currently have 6 classic Raiders, and in an instance I want to play ravagers, or if an Apoc game comes around I'll likely want to field all 6 as ravagers.

So I have designed a set of plates to switch between raider and ravager. These and the other 2 lance will be magnetised.

My question is - how does the first 'draft' look?
It will be layered card to give it the 3D detail.


It'll be from this:


To this:


Any suggestions / contructive critisicm welcome.

i think it looks pretty darn good

Pretty cool looking

I have now printed the sheets for it. Need to dig out some card for it.

If anyones interested - here's the sheets I'm using:




There will be sprue 'supports' stuck to the back of it to hold the magnets.

Good idea that, looking forward to seeing how it comes out.

As far as scratchbuild Ideas go, this is commendeable, as in: Very creative and executed in a very, very impressionably good way.

However, the actual sculpt of the new Raider/Ravager is superior, imho.

Amazing design work. I cant wait to see the finished project.

Thanks.

And I know, it's a nicer sculpt, BUT my existing 2 Raiders were classic models, and I picked up a further 4 for only £30 (or £7.50 a raider).
Plus I feel it fits better with my coven being slightly bulkier etc.

Long story short - I'm poor.

Though doing this 6 times (possibly another 2-3 times later as I have some more old DE models in storage that I'll likely be getting back early next year) is going to be so, so much fun.

And of course I need to go buy more magnets as I only have 7-8 left and this project will require around 30 more.

If anyone can reccomend a decent supplier of magnets that'd be great, I'm currently getting from here:

Have you got just one completed yet for an idea of how this is going to look?
I like old models being updated.
