What to do with an extra magus and primus?

[hivefleetkerrigan]

Any ideas on what to do with an extra magus and primus? I already have one of each and am not sure I'll be able to run more in the new codex.

My ideas:
1. build them as is just in case
2. kitbash the primus into an acolyte hybrid or a kelemorph
3. Kitbash the magus as some sort of neophyte standard bearer.

I would sit pritty for the codex drop. It should have come already.

The primus could make a good demolition expert.

I picked up shadow throne already. I run custodes too so it was a good deal for me

Keep it and watch new codex, you might need 2. I personally have 5 of each, so can tell you, getting rid of them is hard. Convert it later.

At this stage, I would leave them unassembled until the first FAQ drops for the new codex. THEN decide what you need that they could be turned into.

I have two magi. The male and the female one. I don't know why they just deprecated the male one entirely but I am glad I got him.
I can see a use for two Primus'.
I just don't know what the new Codex will give us/allow.

I aquiered 2 primuses back when we where an index. Never played both because the codex came.

It annoys me to. The female one I kitbashed from the inquisition female with crossbow. The one in the stylish heels and steam punk breathing backpack. I named them Jessie and James.

I have the original magus and the newer female one. At the time, GSC psychic powers were so hard to have consistently because of casting only 1 per turn without upgrades. So I made sure to bring both. Things should be better with the 2 casts now though.

I am loving the energy there. Please tell me they're also got a rocket insignia somewhere.

Mmmmm.... haha, no they did not. I have some inspiration from Norwegian culture (where I am from.) There are these children characters called karius and baktus (tooth deckay and bakteria respectivly) that live in your teeth and wants you to eat white bread and sirup. It was animated in 1955, and I like to think of the jolly GSC cultists as these.

My drill team was called strike team karius.

Ah. For a moment, I honestly thought you were doing a Team Rocket reference, from Pokemon. Mah bad!

[hivefleetkerrigan]

So, any ideas on what do do with the extra primus and magus? Sounds like a common problem for people to have

[niiai]

No, I was doing team rocket from pokemon. Because Jessie and James are (please do not swear) champs. But I don't wnat to commit to the RR on their shirt. I just like to have fun references in my army. :-)

From the top of my head, we will seldom be using multiples of those characters - if you've a good hand at converting, I'd say xoncert them into one of the other support characters, otherwise try to sell them online.

I woundn't imagine there is much market for any of the Broodcoven characters. GW has kind of overdone them to the point where nobody who would want them still needs them unless they are just starting and need all three.

[hivefleetkerrigan]

I'll probably try to kitbash the primus into a kelemorph. I might try to make the magus into an icon bearer or very distinct seargant.
