<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms? I had an idea for an army using the plastic men at arms and the plastic Wizard sprue for some priests and psykers.
I have a few questions though:
1.Has anyone seen or better yet attempted this sort of conversion? How did it go?
2.Does anyone have a way to kitbash lasguns, or a technique for scratchbuilding them? (I'd rather not have to shell out for a rake load of lasguns)
3.Are the heads for the men at arms seperate, and do you think the pig iron heads would go well on those bodies?

I'd love to be able to do an entire Guard army in plastic, so any other suggestions for kits that could make this a reality would be great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606923.page GMT Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms?

I could, but I'm hunting for a way to do it on the cheap.
I appreciate your help though, that picture is a great starting point for me.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606957.page GMT Re:Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms? you can buy bits from ebay and bits services but the helms are still gonna be a sore thumb.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606965.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606965.page GMT Re:Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms? Probably the coolest looking guard army I've ever seen.

Good luck with the conversions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606973.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606973.page GMT Re:Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms?
If you got really lucky you could get hold of lots of RT era plastic lasguns. I know I have lots in my parents loft I would donate to a project like this if I could even find them. Old style IG arms too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/606977.page GMT Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms?

FW renegades, then you two can split the cost of cadian boxes and everyone's a winner. Hope this helped.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/607135.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/607135.page GMT Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms? Hmmm. I'd rather use just the men at arms. I reckon I'll pick up a box, see how they look, and then consider whether I want to get the cadian box too.

Thanks again, I'll update the thread when I've got some more to say!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/607187.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/607187.page GMT Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms?
theres three guard players in my local gaming club and i have traded with them for all there extra guard arms.

heads i have decided to go with the covered kolony from pig iron. $6.49US for 20

so far i have parts for 60 basic troopers and have spent less then $65 and i have the exact look i wanted.

I really like the Brett Men at Arms bodies, I think they are the best option (along with Pig Iron heads) for making great coat guard. the main problem is they have their upper arms molded to the body while most other models have seperate arms.



These are Brets with trimed down Catachan forearms in place. You can also lop off the upper arm, file it and use cadian arms.

I ended up splurging on WOTR stuff instead of getting the bitz for this conversion. I'm planning on using Maxmini's "I can't believe they're not Lasguns!" to keep the cost down, so I'm going to order some of those and then start, possibly next week.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/611714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/232833/611714.page GMT Has anyone tried modelling Guardsmen out of Brettonian Men at Arms?

You can make a pretty great-looking WW1-style army using Cadians and West Wind British helmets, like so:
