model comparison - Eversor Assassin and Arbites Judge

[Dullmohawk]

Hi gang,
can any of you help me out, I need to find out how the Eversor Assassin compares to the arbites Judge. I'd be very grateful for any pictures or descriptions, anything really.

Awesome thank you!

was anyone aware that a lot of the character-conversion packs come with the packs you buy from GW? For example, Damian Bloodhound conversion options comes with the Slick Devlan pack....I guess it pays off to read up on the gw home-page once in a while...

They do normally - however there have been the odd occasion where people have not got the associated conversion pack or where they've got the conversion pack instead of the bits they replace. (As far as I understand, the Kroot is like this permanently. I think the original version was much hated and GW stopped bothering with the first version.)

Anyway, in short, there's a degree of pot luck to it, but it is usually the case.

You get a bolas and some pouches with the assassin too iirc.

[Sabotage!]

Whoa, I had no idea about this. Does that include the OoP booster packs (IE Artemis from GW would come with the Space Marine heads and Sgt. Black would come with the IG Lasguns and Respirator heads)? or just bits from other characters?

[Hadriel Caine]

I'm pretty sure its just the character bitz as the marine heads are very hard to come by. That said I haven't bought any INQ direct fro mGW in about 5 years.

[Dullmohawk]

I have no idea. Someone should volunteer and buy some packs to find out

nah, really, I would like to know.

[Nevermore2010]

If its OoP then they wont come i suspect. I KNOW the SM heads dont come with it. Search trading sites they sometimes throw one up. I managed to get a partially converted one from a helpful claver, a little GS work put it to rights. Of course if your that keen, theres bound to be someone out there who has a "Space Camando" helmet that they've cast themselves...

I think it says on the GW site which ones come with the parts to build alternative characters - for example if you look at the page for Barbaretta it says 'This boxed set contains one 54mm Enforcer model that can be assembled as either Barbaretta or Lucretia'.

It doesn't look like it says anything on the page for the Kroot about it coming with the alternative parts - from what I hear it sounds like some have the original parts, others with the booster pack parts, and others with both.

You don't get the helmets with Artemis, or the booster pack bits with Sgt Black, and you just can't get thinks like the chain weapons booster from anywhere except occasionally on eBay and the like.  You might be able to get the odd booster pack weapon or OOP model on the Arcadian Smugglers Ring.  I have a few such things, but I wouldn't sell them as I'd probably never be able to get them anywhere again if I wanted them in future, but I would be willing to trade them if someone had something I wanted.  I think many people who have the long OOP parts feel the same way, and the number of such parts in circulation is dwindling as they get built into new models.

[Dullmohawk]

Well ain't that the truth. Posting on the extra parts in the first place wasn't intended to set off a discussion on anything, it was more to make people aware that some parts are still available with the models, as they pop up on ebay once in a while as OOP... and I really hate to see my fellow conclavers ripped off.


Speaking of SM helmets, I was lucky enough to win one a year ago, and has recently made my first foraging into modeling with magnets, as I know I'll never find another.
This whole business with GW discontinuing a lot of the Specialist Games kits is quite sad, since the games are (in my humble opinion at least) the soul of the company universes.

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

My friend is buying slick/bloodhound soon (as well as gruss/tezla, barbaretta/bravus) (i am buying arco-flagelent kis as well) so will post results when aplicable.

[Heroka Vendile]

I'm pretty sure Gruss has never been combined with the Tesla parts (sadly), don't know the situation with Dameon/Simeon though.

[Nevermore2010]

The last time i bought the Dameon/Simeon kit it came with both parts, However they may have discontinued that since i bought mine well over 2 years ago.

[Inquisitor Octavian Lars]

just been on the gw site, it says for damien 1427 "This boxed set contains one 54mm Arco-flagellant that can be assembled as either Damien 1427 or Simeon 38X." and for slick "This boxed set contains one 54mm gunslinger that can be assembled as either Slick' Devlan or Damian Bloodhound." and for brbarreta "This boxed set contains one 54mm Enforcer model that can be assembled as either Barbaretta or Lucretia and one Cyber Mastiff. The set comes with two 40mm round bases."
