I'd like to make a custom model with the following parts:

- the jump pack (and maybe the body) from an Inceptor set
- the Xenophase Blade from a Deathwatch set
- the Storm shield (and maybe the pauldrons) from a Custodes Guardian Squad set

It's for a custom model that's intended to be my DIY Chapter's leader. I'm fully aware it would not be legal in-game, but it's for show-and-tell, not gaming.

So would those parts be compatible? I'm envisioning that they would...hopefully. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223345.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223345.page GMT Re:Primaris and Custodes bits for custom Astartes model Both the xenophase and shield are left handers, but that’s a very simple fix.
Custode pauldrons are probably too bulky to work with a jump pack without modification.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223554.page GMT Primaris and Custodes bits for custom Astartes model
I'd test the shoulderpads out before glueing them, make sure they fit with the inceptor. If they don't there's a lot of stuff you could clip off to make it work.

Also, if you're using custodian bits for space marines, check out the sagittarum guard. I've seen them used as primaris, and it's a pretty perfect fit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223579.page GMT Primaris and Custodes bits for custom Astartes model IRL, it's how I'd use them; shield in the left, weapon in the right.

Custodes shoulder pads would be a bonus but they aren't 100% necessary. If the work, they work. If not, Inceptor pauldrons will suffice.

EDIT: How big is Guilliman's helmet piece (not his bare head), and could it fit inside the head area of an Inceptor?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223590.page GMT Primaris and Custodes bits for custom Astartes model IIRC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223632.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223632.page GMT Primaris and Custodes bits for custom Astartes model

No problem then, thanks. It was just a thought.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223645.page GMT Primaris and Custodes bits for custom Astartes model http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/766538/10223990.page GMT
