Sniperfex!

[ohkay]

Aha! Took the idea of using spare parts and made a sniperfex. Aha! Tell me what you think.









I'm planning to paint some paper so it looks like a tent been burnt kind of thing. But I don't know how, got any tips on what I should do to make it look even better after painted?

Nice
personally, I think if you painted the sprue to look like metal struts from a destoryed building you'd be fine but it's your call (I find it hard to imagine a fex digging it's self under a tent without destroying it).

that may be abit tricky to paint, but these guys are becoming pretty popular

[nuklearangel]

Yeah tent is a bad idea IMO, but the ruined building strut was what I thought instantly, go with that, way cooler!

[ohkay]

AHa! Yea. Good Idea... I was thinking of a military tent, like where injure solders rest and have a little red cross flag on top, but ruined building sounds just as good.

[n00b1n8R]

you could probably still do the red cross flag, however i'd have it drooped over the base.

[optimuspyro]

thats really neat, I may borrow this idea.

I have made four carnifexs like this 3 devilfexs and one sniper. Can we use these in tournaments?

[gringe]

Not sure about Tournaments but I dont see why you couldn't use it in games. After all it is just a conversion and the fact that it wasn't bought shouldn't have an effect. Also no one should get confused because it is pretty obvious its a Carnifex.

I've asked the GW people and they say "you could use almost anything to convert, as long as the character and weapon make sense. So you could go to ToyRus and by a little furry puppy and use it as a carnifex as long as the base is the same size or bigger and the proper weapon is glue on." So as long as the weapon is right and can be identify then it's alright. Or am i/they wrong?

Within reason you can use any models. For example you cannot get a paint bottle, put it on a base, attach arms and guns and then proceed to claim it is a hive tyrant.

Whatever alternative figure you use, it has to resemble the model you claim it to be; call it the "realism test" if it you prefer.

like the carnifex burrowing idea but a building that stands after that mammoth runs though still great though

[serif]

just keep in mind some people may have issue with you claiming the can;t see it. It looks like it could hid behind a pretty low wall.

The conversion is cool, I just think playability may get some people calling cheese. If you modelled the busted building pieces to be as tall and as wide as a fex would be, you could head that off by pointing that out and then if people can see the structure pieces, then they can shoot the fex.

I know I'd have a hard time if an opponent tried to claim that his carnifex is hiding behind that fuel barrel.

[gringe]

Well I gave it a try and I think it came out pretty well. Will try and get some picks up soon.

With regards to playing i'll just count it as being the same size as a normal fex so it shouldn't cause any problems.
