Using Wraithgaurd as XV8's
« on: December 26, 2013, 09:31:42 PM »
Would the new plastic Wraithgaurd look good as 'count as' Crisis suits?

They are on the same base now and the WG are pretty tall. Adding some jetpacks and wrist mounted guns would give them the top-heavy bulk of the Crisis suit.

I ask because I don't play Tau, but I do play Eldar and Necrons (which are converted to look like an all Wraith Eldar Craftworld).  Having some Wraithconstruct Suits would be a good Allie addition to either, while still fitting their theme.

.........Yup.  I could totally see that.

You will have to give them fairly big jetpacks to give them the same bulk as a Crisis suit.

Still, really good idea!  Pics please!
One sure mark of a fool is to dismiss anything that falls outside of his experience as being impossible.

I just got started on the conversions today.  When I have pics, I'll post them in the Conversion section.

I actually don't think they with have the same bulk as the Crisis suits, but they will be slightly taller.  The important part for me is that they look like Jetpack infantry

Pics are up:
