Scutlers?

[cykosis]

Has anyone got any ideas how I can represent scutlers on my stealers, or any examples of how you've shown it on your own models?

[zark]

Dont have any models showing it myself but GW's wepsite has a portrayal of it here.

[math]

I don't think it's so much as a visible biomorph, more of a internal change within the Stealers themselves.

[zark]

Yeh I agree math, jus tmake sure your opponent knows the squad has scuttlers and its all peachey.

I'm going to a GT and not sure I'll be able to just tell them I have scutlers, all has to be WYSIWYG somehow.

Maybe I could improvise some camo netting from a fishing net and just put it so it looks like they are holding it in their hands and hiding behind it

[zark]

I would contact the tourney organisers and ask them if it needs to be modeled, because if you model it your opponent wont know what it is unless you tell him anyway. Its just like grenades.

‡ Scuttlers should be modeled appropriately so the opposing player will recognize the biomorph

The strangest rule yet , no worries though

[Overread]

Its not even relevant during battle, scuttlers happens before the battle, so your opponent hardly needs to know that your models have it for the rest of the game - thats like forcing players to model deepstriking.
My bets are whoever said it had to be modeled had no idea what ability they were talking about, and thus gave the coverall answer of "yes it has to be modeled".

[The Tomato]

Follow zarks link, its on the GW website, though i have never been called out because of that.

Cant think of anyone that follows that rule, so no worries.

The only way I can think of would be Genestealers in 'low' positions, like the are sneaking (scutling) forward^^
But yeah, I don't think you need to model it^^

just paint "ima scuttler" underneath their bases-

if your opponent says something around the lines of "they dont look like their scuttling", just respond "it says right here-'ima scuttler'"

[ryshi]

Heck if your able what i'd do is paint em differently. Like some sort of camo paint job?(could represent them stealthily moving ahead).
Or you could make their arms swung backwards to portray the stealer moving so fast it's arms kind of trail behind his body(if that makes sense).
Or you could just take some bases, take the stealer hind leg, and glue it so it looks like the stealer is running off it's base(just the hind leg being used tho), so it looks like it's running ahead of where it should be.

EDIT: typo

[Thlaylie]

Genestealers are already pretty low and scuttly, just put a lot of rocks on the base like he's moving among debre.

[The Tomato]

Modelling a dustcloud behind it would be kind of fun, i wouldn't bother to do it just because wysiwyg though.

Still, no worries?
