Grey Knight Terminators: Conversion Options

I got a great question from one of my readers last week, asking about the possibilities of adding a power armor chest piece to a terminator librarian back piece. I test fit the two pieces per his request, and the next thing I knew I was making all sorts of kitbash conversions. It turns out this is a very versatile box.

This is with no scraping or greenstuffing at all. You can see there is a small gap at the belt level, but that is easily closed with a couple minutes of cutting/filing. It fits a variety of heads and helmet types as well.

As I said in an earlier post, the Grey Knight Terminator helmets actually fit well on power armor marines.

Templar players are definitely going to want to get their hands on this box.

Especially in light of the fact that Games Workshop is discontinuing it's metal range with no announced method of replacing said models, plastics are rapidly becoming the best and only way to construct space marine HQ units. Thankfully, we have plenty of options available to us. This box can easily convert to make a Terminator Chaplain...

I hope this gives you some ideas of how to overcome the current lack of support for metal character models on GW's part. Let me know if you have any other good ideas or test fits you would like to see done.
