Hi,

So, I'm interested in putting together a terminator libby or terminator lone wolf (not yet decided-so many options). Basically, I'm hoping to avoid having to shell out ~$60 for the sake of one terminator, so I was wondering if anyone has any tricks to getting the required bits and pieces. I've already got a squad of assault terminators built up, so I have some weapons left over; mostly interested in getting legs and torso.

Sadly, Australia is short on bitz suppliers, which prevents using this option. I'm fine with accumulating other bits which fit on standard marines, as I love playing with conversions, but I'm not planning on increasing my terminator squad size so I'm trying to avoid options which will only let me build more terminators. I know that there's a DA kit which gets you terminator legs, so hoping there might be other things out there. Happy to fiddle with a file and GS, so chaos kits are also an option.

Thanks all.

Ebay is your best bet for bits and/or cheap terminators.

Sadly, over here, the damage is almost as bad when buying via ebay.Currency conversion+shipping adds up.

Thanks though

For a terminator librarian, use calistarius from space hulk you can den be lazy and glue the original base to a 40mm, and still have it look good.

Exactly what I have done. and it looks fantastic I reckon.

Also have you looked into this for the libby? - http://www.games-workshop.com/en-AU/Blood-Angels-Terminator-Librarian-2014

He is the new BA one, But some work can remove the iconography. $30 AUD is still a little steep for a single model but he is very nice.

There are plenty of solo termie options. Calistarius, Njal Stormcaller, the soon to be released BA librarian in termie armor and all of the various termie characters from Forgeworld. I would definitely look at the Legion Praetor kit from FW. Two models, one in PA, one in TDA and easy to kitbash.

BA libby looks awesome... and a lot like Calistarius I have not purchased him, but only because I have like, 4 copies of the latest space hulk (and 1 copy of the old, identical SH). The Calistarius, Thunderhammer/Stormshield, Heavy Flamer, Lightning Claw, Sergeant, and Broodlord models were why I bought so many Space Hulk. I paid about $100 each for my Space Hulks, and I figured just those models were nearly the price of the whole box :X

Of course, now that there's the BA assault terminator box...
