Hey,

i got the Dark Imperium Box and i am currently thinking on magnetising the Hellblasters (and the other marines) as maybe in the future i would like to change their weapon loadout. But now my question is would i even be able to (if i buy the needed weapon bit on the internet) change the weapons on the DI Box space marines. I am asking because the way the models are in the DI Box is different then the ones you buy in the "normal" unit boxes. For example in the DI Box the models are single posed and sometimes have a stick of plastic on the body parts which the weapon/shoulder goes onto (to build it easier i guess). Those things i didnt see in the instructions for the "normal" boxes.

greetings and thanks in advance.

I wouldn't bother honestly just keep them stuck as is. Primaris are fixed in their loadout and it's generally considered the standard bolt rifle and plasma incinerator are the best all round that they offer. In a friendly game too most people probably wouldn't mind if you proxy for the other types either as they look so similar.

The Dark imperium models aren't really compatible with the multi part models sold separately. All of the connection points are different.

That said, you can do some awesome conversions with them! I turned 5 easy build Intercessors into 3 Company Champions, Azrael, and a Tech Marine with stuff from my bits box.

Converting really is becoming a lost art these days. A lot of the newer players at my FLGS always say "wait, you can do that?" when you mention stuff like the above.

Agreed!

This is them, all easy build Intercessor bodies!
