Cranky Old Man Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I like the unit but hate the model. Anyone got any ideas on how to convert a different toshiro? I would prefer to not even base it on the figure itself!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Canucks Go Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 No. Just buy the model lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey_C Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) You can also use the tortoise from the twisted alternatives set. It is a 100% legal proxy https://giveusyourmoneypleasethankyou-wyrd.com/collections/resurrectionists/products/season-beatings Edited December 7, 2016 by Mikey_C I was wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kross1 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 That's an Izamu proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 The tortoise is a legal stand in for Izamu, not Toshiro. You could use it as Toshiro, but you'd need your opponent's permission in friendly games (probably not that hard to get) and your T.O.'s permission for organized events (probably not difficult, but not assured). Only mention because Kenbu is not a 100% legal proxy for Toshiro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 You'd also need to rebase him if you want to use Genbu. As the standard model is on 50mm and you want 40mm. Take a look through the Bushido line of minis... I imagine there's *something* there that will strike your fancy and look like "large man with sword" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godswearhats Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm not a big fan of Toshiro for Ressers, either in-game or the model itself. I think he's reasonable in Ten Thunders, but there are better ways to spend stones for our faction. For alternate models, maybe start with the Lone Swordsman as a base model and convert from there?

Treehouse Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 If you have worked with Green Stuff before, you could sculpt over the mouth-ripcage thing, make it look like cloth. Cut off the arrows and attach a different head. You could also try to kit-bash Toshiro and the big-bellied Brother together. Take the uper body of the Brother, cut away the arms and shoulders. Take Toshiro's legs and arms + shoulders and glue them to the Brother's torso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I felt the same way and, knowing I would never field three samurai at once, I took one of them, swapped out his gun for a scythe made of a flagpole and nasty looking (read: Dark Eldar) sword, added added shield, and painted him like the Gundam Deathscythe. I'm still deciding how I want to attach a flag for him to have a bit more battlefield leader look, but have held off because my current foam is not tall enough to accommodate anything taller, but I'm hoping to change that with the holidays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kross1 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 I gave him Kang's hat & put the the partial ashigaru from the Yan Lo model in front of him. So now it looks like he's doing what Yan can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
