AOBR doesn'r really upgrade the models very much but I've been wanting to upgrade them so post any good upgrades you've done here.

I just bought Assault termies so I took an extra Lighting claw and put it in place of my captains power sword.

AOBR anything, except add an assault cannon to the terminators.. and an assault cannon to the dread, I used the whole space marine side as the basis for my current army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237938/687010.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237938/687010.page GMT Re:Doing/Done an Assault on Black Reach upgrade? Post here. AoBR minis are fine as they are, but when I started on my second box I set about making a couple of minor changes ( weapon swaps mostly). These are the few I chose to do :

(built as boxed on the left, re-tooled on the right)

Dreadnought Weapon swap (Lascannons from Predator kit)




Terminator Sergeant converted to Terminator Chaplain


Head and weapon swap for the Tactical Sergeant (Yes, I know about the mould-line on the helmeted sgt's shoulder, but he's still WIP)

All very simple. Beyond that, the Marines don't really need much work, IMHO. Not too sure about the orks, but I expect there are more possibilities with them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237938/687166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237938/687166.page GMT Doing/Done an Assault on Black Reach upgrade?

Ok thanks for the correction I corrected the name of the thread. Also I find that the weapons on the models are the only real thing that need fixing which is why I gave my Captain a LC and now I'm thinking of remodeling the sarge for the tactical squad with the PW of the captain. Also I bought a battle force and used it to add a nob to the Ork boyz so that they have a tank killing potential and I'm thinking of giving a Big bomb to the deffkoptas and also buzz saws. The CC weapons that the model come with don't suit my army so that's why I changed them. I might cut off the claws and use the LC as a PF though, what do you think?

Also, those Deff Dreds look too cool too. I looked at mine and thought the same thing but couldnt figure the right fist.

I'm going to do some conversions on the Terminators but i'm awaiting the parts in the mail.
