So I'm looking at running 3 broadsides as allies and a commander buffing the living crap out of them. Although i don't have the broadside models, I don't think they look that great and they cost $50 a model... What.

So I'm looking for alternative broadside models. Maybe that or a cheap way of converting the broadsides. The plan is to load them up with missiles and kill everything ever.

My first though was: crisis suits on 60mm converted to look like broadsides. The three crisis suits cost about the same as one broadside. Maybe i could kit them up with missiles from a bits website and bulk them up a tiny bit.

Anyone have any luck converting these guys? Or maybe someone has an idea of a sweet looking alternative model to use as broadsides. I'm thinking infinity, maybe someone like this:

or maybe

But then again each one of those costs the same as a broadside... Not really getting anywhere.
How could i convert the crisis suits? Anyone done this bofore?

Let me know what you think,

Easy mode? yes go with just crisis suits and scratch build the rear vent cover rail guns, and feet, or look for the old GW broadside conversion kit (though god i hate these things.)

that or palson games basically has the rail and missile pods you would need.

lastly you could go forgeworld broadsides.
