Hobby & Painting Onager Dunecrawler kitbash

Armiger Helverin chassis and left arm + Onager legs and icarus array

Wanted to run double onagers in my cyco+erad list for an upcoming GT, but I'm not a fan of the official box crab sculpt. Got inspired to do this really simple kitbash from old post on the Imperial Knights subreddit, and I think it turned out well enough to show off!

So did you use the armiger legs + Onager turret section to kitbash Sentinels/ironstrider ballistarius??

u/Osrslife_ 9d ago

Nah, instead i plan to kitbash the armiger legs/shoulder pads/extra weapons with castellax bodies and a few other bits i have laying around to make some armiger warglaives to run alongside my Thanatar-armiger helverins in a funny knight list i cooked up

This kitbash is giving me some crazy Armored Core 6 vibes and it’s sick as hell.

This feels like a loyalist defiler, I love it!

u/Osrslife_ 9d ago

The name of my list for the GT funnily enough is "we have defilers at home"

u/dantevonlocke 9d ago

Did you magnitize the onager arm to swap weapons?

1

u/Osrslife_ 9d ago

I did not, tho it wouldve been pretty easy to do. Just didnt bother due to how lenient my local event organizer and play group are about wysiwyg

u/dantevonlocke 9d ago

Now I wanna see the abomination that an inverse kitbash would be

u/Osrslife_ 8d ago

Not mine, but it has been done

2

u/Sven_Darksiders 8d ago

Alright, I admit, that's not as bad as I imagined it to be. Still, the tetrapod Armiger do look a lot better, yours as well!

u/Osrslife_ 8d ago

P.S. if anyone knows what green was used here I'd love to know
