For those who’ve bought and built the guys in the Plague Marine box.. (Edit: and the Blightlord Terminators actually)

How much customisation is there in the box? I know people have said it’s a certain heads and arms with certain bodies, but how much is that the case.

And if I wanted to build special weapons from the Kit, how many could I do? Is it one body that fits all the specials? Or could I get 4-5 of them built?

Cheers in advance!

Are you talking about the Plague Marines? If so, the only thing you can't really customize without a fair amount of cutting is torso and leg combinations. Pretty much all of the heads and arms can be used interchangeably if you so desire, although some of the special weapon arms will obviously need to be used in set pairs. As for weapons, you unfortunately don't get very many. If I remember correctly, there is one of each special weapon with the exception of axes, of which there are two. But assuming you have sources for multiple special weapons there's no reason you couldn't use them on the bodies from the kit.

I did indeed mean the Plague Marines! Can’t believe I left that out..

But the blight launcher for example, that’ll go on any body?
I basically want to make all or several of the special weapons in there

Cheers!

Building them right now. That said. Some small shaving on the body or arm may be necessary as you cross arms over kits. Like putting two heavy cleavers in one unit, I’m gonna have to make arms fit.
