For one of the core Troop units I was planning on taking Crisis Suits, removing their Jet Pack Vents and putting more human arms and legs on them. These would be grounded battlesuits. At the time I was contemplating using Terminators, but since then the Primaris have come out, I'm wondering if they would suit them better (no pun intended). The Gravis legs might be what I need, but I'm wondering if Tacticus limbs could work as well.

Thoughts on if this would work or if something would work better?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10949138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10949138.page GMT Help on making a Human/Tau hybrid http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955158.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955158.page GMT Help on making a Human/Tau hybrid http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955166.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955166.page GMT Help on making a Human/Tau hybrid http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955582.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955582.page GMT Help on making a Human/Tau hybrid

There is the size of a crisis suit next to a marine. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955687.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10955687.page GMT Re:Help on making a Human/Tau hybrid These are not mine, but it was the direct inspiration

They were given a choice... fight for tau or die. It gave rules & point values for using them in a tau army. I kit bashed fire warrior & Catachan bits. They were a decent meat shield for the point cost

I wasn't too concerned about the regular Infantry as the Fire Warriors and IG are close enough in size to work together for the most part. It was when I started to go bigger because:

That is the concern, along with getting accepted as there is one GW store closest to me, but 2 LGS and a brand new LGS a bit farther out. Most of my meta is pretty chill so long as the conversions look good, but the GW stores are questionable.

That does look amazing. A little more than I had in mind, but still well done.

And a Terminator as well. At best it would be hands added to the current arms and everything below the knees from the terminator used where the chicken legs start. How do the Primaris compare to the Terminators? I haven't been to the store with both represented side by side when I did manage to go, and very little table use is going on at present anyways.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10956281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/792727/10956281.page GMT
