Hi I'm currently finishing assembling my Sisters of battle force and lucked out with a good deal on some seraphim. Problem is none of them have jump packs. I had one spare current model chaos raptor pack for my cannoness but I'm at a loss to figure out what to give the seraphim. So far it's down to hunting for the 10 pack of space marine jet packs, paying through the nose for turbo fan jet packs where I can find them, or trying to cobble something together. can anyone tell me what else would make a good substitution for jetpacks?

I have 10 seraphim in need of a boost.

Hmm..... So being Seraphim, the FW jump packs will probably be too small, right?

Other than that, i think you´re stuck with marine, raptor or Ork (Just thought i´d mention them)...

Of course, if you´re not worried about staying with GW stuff, there are a few games with cool jump packs.

You could try and see one of the bitz places for the plastic marine packs maybe..?

How about Hasslefree jumppacks? Okay, they're probably more suited to IG than Sisters, and they look more high-tech than gothic, but they're cheap and look good.

I think Marine jump packs would be big on them, but would give them a really imposing look on the battlefield.

I suggest Hasslefree jumppacks, too. They're dead cheap and look good.

If you don't mind a little bit of work, check out this tutorial from Bolter and Chainsword, on how to make pre-heresy turbo-fan jetpacks... from pens none the less....

For a more wing-like jump pack, might I suggest Micro Art Studio's Mechanical Wings sets:

or

Though for seraphim, you might want to just remove the centre tubing bits to make it look a little cleaner.

Wow, those Micro Art Studio wings sets are sweet-looking. Expensive! But sweet!

OK I think I'll try to make my own barring that I'll go with the hasslefree stuff.

thanks for the help!
