Will this work for Tanith if built over Catachan bodies, or do I need to look elsewhere?

They look purpose built to be Tanith 1st

Depending on the period you're modeling them you could also mix some Cadians with those heads etc to make Kolstek 81st and some necromunda minis and some DKoK or greatcoat type models to be Vervunhivers.

Just do me a favor and keep them all from 1 period of the series. No mixing armor in there, or Valkyries in there like every book is happening at once

I'd get the old GW ones for characters.

This question could generate all kinds of weird s**t, but does anyone know how to make femtroopers?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5394062.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5394062.page GMT How do I make Tanith 1st? by the end of gaunts ghost they were royally fuq'd and cadians are way to clean to represent this imo, the victorian models has that gritty, mean look to them ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5394197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5394197.page GMT Re:How do I make Tanith 1st?
Chapter house has some good stuff

Heres some heads from Brother Vinni's
http://www.brother-vinni.com/gallery/28mm/fem-heads.htm

your best bet may be to buy the heads (do agoogle search for 28mm female heads) and then to green stuff the breast armor. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5394245.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5394245.page GMT How do I make Tanith 1st?

I don't know if that will work or not, I literally have no idea. I do remember some threads on Tanith conversions using Cadian torsos and arms, and Warhammer Fantasy Wood Elves legs, hooded heads and cloaks. They looked pretty sweet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5396122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5396122.page GMT How do I make Tanith 1st?

I think they do need some support (just tanks, that's it)

Do your armour in Pardus colours. The Tanith worked with Pardus so it's very lore friendly. If you want air you could do them with Phantine colours. Or SMs you can do... white scars? was it?

I still have Tanith on the backburner. I've done some test models with cadians, wood elves and some third party bits which I'm happy with.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5397762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5397762.page GMT How do I make Tanith 1st? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5399358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5399358.page GMT Re:How do I make Tanith 1st? I've always wanted to do Pith helmeted troops. I'm using her bits with GW Cadians, to just her bits.
Good luck!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5399704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5399704.page GMT How do I make Tanith 1st?

Wood elves legs and hoods and cloaks, but cadian torso and arms? Really you don't like those? You're the first person I've heard who doesn't like that look. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5399723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5399723.page GMT How do I make Tanith 1st?

To each their own, conversions let us make what we want which is great ; ) If you're going to do Pardus colours there's no problem with including a fair bit of armour imo. Doing it as an allied armoured group from imperial armour 1:v2 could make it more realistic.

What I wasn't sure on was doing Tanith as vets or a mix of platoons and vets... probably the latter. I was also planning on ratlings to represent the high sniper numbers or scouts, along with some vet and PCS sniper squads. The rest would be flamer special weapons and missile launcher "tread fethers" for heavies. Sadly las cannons, plasma and melta don't fit the theme. But that's why you have allied Pardus and/or Phantine ; ) Another idea I had to represent the scoutts was a vet squad with heavy bolter and gunnery sergeant harker, with both heavy bolters represented as long las sniper rifles.

Just some ideas to mull over.

Same, I really like the look haha. I was also going to use some wood elf torsos (with a little GS work) to represent some fems since it's a mixed regiment. The waists are so wasplike but that's fixable, and the bow pose arms actually works really well aiming down the sites of a lasgun... again with some GS.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5400592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/514292/5400592.page GMT
