Hjelmen Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hi all. I'm not really going to play Leveticus any time soon, but I do love a good conversion project, so I got to looking at the Desolation Engine. Initially I had wanted to use the Abberation Prime from Rackham: Unfortunately, it is a special kind of delectable masochism to get ones hands on that model, so, I went to rummaging through box upon box of miniatures that I never got finished... and found this guy (Damien 1427) from the Inquisitor line: I saw some comparison shots of Leveticus next to the stock Desolation Engine, and I actually think that the 54mm Damien model could be fine proportion-wise. I think some extra armour and stitching would be appropriate, seeing as he's going to become more of a cobbled together construct. What do you think? Would the 54mm proportions be too big for a large based Malifaux construct, or do you say "go for it or die trying!"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathieu Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Unfortunately, it is a special kind of delectable masochism to get ones hands on that modelThat rackham model is among the ones that are still relatively easy to find (e.g. on ludikbazar). I think Damien is a pretty good choice too, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll try modding Damien first, and if that tanks out, I'll get the Abberation Edited December 7, 2010 by Hjelmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I also like the pose on Damien better. He's got a lot of action. I played inquisitor for a while and I loved using that model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lone Gamer Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Well I'll be a bumblebee's breadbin! :laughing: Mathieu beat me to pointing you to Ludik Bazar, home of Rackham's leftovers. They do still have the Aberration Prime, as it was one of the last models to come out for Confrontation. It would indeed make a great Desolation Engine, but I think your choice is actually better! Damien-1427 is a great idea! I am using a 54mm model for Nekima, and the size is just right...it should work well for your purpose, too. I look forward to seeing him!

Guest mxh521 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 I was inspired by a McMourning vs. Freikorps game last night, and decided to whip these up from WWII V.D. posters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
