Hello all, This might only be my perspective, but I've always thought that the models for Tomb Blades looked a little... off. Now that they are mandatory for Decurion Detachments, looks like I'm going to have to take them haha. Does anyone have any conversions or counts as that I can use so my eyes don't bleed? I'm thinking of taking the pieces from the standard model and rearranging them to see what I can come up with. |

I've been looking for alternatives as well but have not found any decent alernatives that are also cost effective |

If you can live with no rider but a bit more drone effect check out x-wing models. Imperial has some cool stuff. Like the phantom. But standard tie is cool too. Does cost a bit. but usualy there are discount |

This is the best TB conversion I've seen (although I like the wheel-esque ones). Posted Image |

The original, metal Necron Destroyers were jet bikes back in 3rd edition. Depending on how good you do on Ebay, you can pick them up cheaper than a box of Tomb Blades. I use them as proxies for when I take more Tomb Blades than what I own. I've also seen a picture of someone who took 4 shields from the Lychguard pack and made a conversion with those being the "jet/hover" points of the model. I'll have to see if I can find the pic. Also - Puppet Wars has an interesting Cyber Cycle alternative model - http://puppetswar.eu/product.php?id_product=78 Edited by Unholyllama, Feb 2 2015, 06:42 PM.

Those are the pilots that come with the tomb blades. Along with the original tomb blade parts, one uses a current spyder aft body and a destroyer body(my current favorite). The other uses 2 destroyer bodies. I bought a lot of used destroyers off ebay for cheap. I am messing with some ideas for conversions of my spyders to replace the aft bodies i will be taking from them. Edited by dirtynubs, Mar 13 2015, 07:29 AM.

i just had a funny thought.... what do you think about a "sassy" cron riding a rainbow rocket fueled by fun and laughter just for "lols"? what do you thinks its chances of surviving the battle are? Edited by dirtynubs, Mar 16 2015, 12:21 PM.

I would love that! Not the whole unit, just one crazy one. You could then try to have him survive all game long :D Completely different thing: I was wondering...if you have those destroyers-backparts...couldnt you use 2 halfes of them to make like "T-fighter-tomblades"?...Kinda hard to explain what I mean, but maybe you get the idea. |

Speaking of starwars style One could make "wings" that look like the Tie fighters/interceptors by taking two Dispersion shields and putting them on the side |
