So, I recently acquired a lot of metal terminators and many of them had arms too match. However, a few do not have arms, nor do I have them in the bit bins. I do, however, have tons of plastic arms for terminators. What would your feelings be if you were facing this in a game? This wouldn't be a WYSIWYG related thing but more for scale.

Thanks,

Jason

I think using Terminator parts on Terminators wouldn't be an issue, other than they might look a little off because of the size difference.

Do you have an example photo? It's been so long since I've handled a metal Terminator that I've never seen them side by side with a plastic one.

There is a bit of scale creep. I’ve used old metal terminator arms on normal modern plastic power armor and they fit.

I’d have to mock up some examples, but I think the proportions would be way off.

Worst case scenario it looks a bit too big? I would mock one up and decide for yourself if you are happy with the combination.

I laugh cause I now have that OOP metal Cap in term armour w/grenade launcher. Is the storm bolter plain or is it a little more ornate??

I think he has the same stormbolter as the rest of the guys in the box. I’d accumulated a number of metal terminators over the years, but am pretty sure the SBs are all basically the same.

Pardon my ignorance, but which plastic terminator HQ model is that? Its' torso would be perfect for my kitbashing needs..!
