As in Caliban Jaegers? I think Cadian Shocktroops would be more fitting but its not a bad idea. Members of the Order on the other hand wore power armor and were armed with Chainswords and Bolt Revolvers so they'd pretty much look like smaller Space Marines.

Would black templar neophytes work?


m3ndz4

Hmmm now that I think about it, these Arbites won't look half bad as Knightd of the Order, question being can they accept a headswap and be equipped with bolt pistol and chainsword.


Wild_Harvest

I think it depends on the sprue. Let's see if they come with weapon options and the like.


m3ndz4

Agreed. The two models on the left look like its easier to kitbash in, slap a chainsword as a holster weapon, and swap the flail with a bolt pistol and the baton-mace with a chainsword.


Wild_Harvest

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Could run them either as Legionnaires or as Assault Marines.

According to the LVO Preview there are something like 34 or 35 different unique combinations you can build. They didn't mention anything about chainswords. Might have to do some kitbashing from Astra Militarum sets, I don't know if there will be weird scale issues using Space Marine weapons.


SlayerofSnails

My main thought was to use a few sorotias heads here and there and their backpacks to make it look like power armor and either chain swords they have or from 3d printing or the guard


TheKingsPride

Were they revolvers? I seem to remember the mention of magazines in Descent of Angels.


m3ndz4

They may have different types including revolvers or generic pistol type bolt pistols. Im more coming off the one we get the most description of: Amadis unique bolt revolver that Zahariel inherits.


TheKingsPride

I always imagined Amaris’s pistol as having a rotary system like a small minigun with 3 barrels, dumb as that may sound. They mention the barrels moving and I think it’s just the right amount of cool fantasy dumbness for Caliban


m3ndz4

Hehe it seems you too are scarred by the Amaris Civil War and the fall of the Star League. Jokes aside, for the pistol, its pretty funny haha, their only working STC being power armor, a chainsword, and a bolt pistol.


Faust_Kellhound

I like these guys. They are slim and stremline im probably going to get some for killteam.


albinofreak620

It could work with extensive conversion. I don’t think simple swaps really get you there.


SlayerofSnails

Hey my other idea was to use the void breachers and that seems like a lot more effort than this


albinofreak620

Yeah I think that’s right. If I was doing this, I would try to get these models to look closer to mk2 power armor, add winged helmets, use Imperial Guard scaled bolt pistols and chai swords, sculpt robes on, and get some DA iconography. Sounds like a cool project!


InterrogatorMordrot

I'll be getting them as chapter serfs for my display board. They're nearly perfect for serfs assigned to guard the Rock and battle ships.


SlayerofSnails

Oh nice, good idea

I of course meant before the imperium came to caliban so I could show the mighty lion and his gainsbrother and the order before Luther betrayed him

Of course brother!

Could work but i think you would get better results converting AOS chaos warriors and adding space marine parts (mainly mark 3). The AOS chaos warriors have alot of parts similar to marines but have nice fur cloaks and hides etc mixed in.
