I'm building a small DW primaris force from the starter box primaris and I think I can easily convert LTs in other characters / units.

But I don't know what to do with the gravis captain since this option is not in the codex.
I, for one, quite like the mini and I'm totally about converting it, but I don't want to turn him in a regular Aggressor.
I was thinking to kitbash and use him either as :

1) A captain in terminator armor. By removing some bits and changing the head to a bald one.
Statlines are quite similar. I would remove the autostorm bolter from the gauntlet and replace the sword by a combi-bolter of some kind.
On a game pov, it would provide me with a character with built in DP, which Primaris lack of.

2) A watchmaster, by replacing the sword by a guardian spear and removing again the autobolter.
The gauntlet will be the clavis, maybe with some bits added.
A bit bulkier but after all, the WM has a 2+ save

Would you be confortable playing against such a conversion/count as ? Which one do you feel is the more "natural" ?
Or do you find this idea absolutely ridiculous ?

yeah, I'd be totally fine with it (either way). I'd use the Watchmaster profile since you can just claim it to be an unusual Artificer Armour (2+ Sv) .

Thanks for your answer. I will certainly go the watchmaster way, should make a fun conversion.

I agree with Nekooni. Watchmaster is the better choice.

gravis captains not being in the DW codex seems an odd choice

There's not one available without the left shoulderpad pre-molded on.
