hi gang,

looking to convert up a chaos sorcerer with jump pack for a night lords army and I'm trying to figure out if this model, http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440207a&prodId=prod1710106a, has the backpack built in or if it's a separate piece that's easily replaced. anyone either have the model itself or photos of the sprue?

assuming the backpack is swappable (I'll probably magnetize it), the next task is to decide on which jump pack to use. the jump packs from the new raptors models don't seem like a good fit, aesthetically, and I'm not fond of the older raptor jump pack design (can still find them on ebay). so, that leaves me with the loyalist-style jump packs, the sanguinary guard jump packs or the MKV jump packs from forge world (the MKIV looks just like the sang guard packs and I'm not fond of the MKII). what do people think? are there other options I should consider?

What model Varl? Your link takes me to the GW homepage.

curses! let's try this link instead: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1710106a. on the off chance that doesn't work either, it's the finecast chaos space marine sorcerer with force sword and bolt pistol

Well it says 5 pieces on the GW site. My guess would be...
- Body
- Arms
- Head
- Backpack.

Or maybe
-Torso + head
- Legs
- Arms
- Backpack.

I'd suspect that one of the new raptor packs would look quite good on him. Even if the backpack is attached it doesnt look like it would be overly hard to saw off.

I have one and yes you can take off the jump pack. I would like to use the wings from the possessed space marines as jump pack. I think they would look nice for night lords. but i guess whatever backpack you want to mount on it will fit

Actually I have an unboxing video Here's the link.

Oh yeah the possessed wings would look awesome on the new sorcerer.

thanks fish, that video was very helpful. sub'd your channel and yeah, the wings are a great idea. I hadn't realized those were just another flavor of backpack. definitely something I will consider

Possessed wings would be cool indeed. Or green stuff some crazy arcane magic under him so that he levitates.
