Anyways, I ask because I was in my LGS last night and the owner was showing me the new Gargoyles for 40k and frankly, I'm thinking there's going to be a huge number of uses for those things. They are gonna be the new Glade Rider horses. I'm thinking that with some minor head changes and obviously different arms or claws, they are a pretty cheap and easy conversion for beastly looking harpies.

I'm sure it won't be long before we start seeing the conversions beginning....

Agree. That many plastic wings in a box is going to get a lot of conversion love.

I don't really see a role for the harpies as a special. They are okay, but still a bit too much. Not a bad unit, but I would rather have a razorgor chariot!

plastic wings?

Crimsonsphinx · « **Reply #1653 on:** January 18, 2010, 12:24:04 PM »

I like the new models, not sure about the cost of buying an army from scratch.

Whats the deal with 10 ungor in a box? Seriously?

phillyt · « **Reply #1654 on:** January 18, 2010, 12:28:57 PM »

Most things come 10 to a box. Not too unusual given the number of bits and options.

Yes,.. like the 5 pistoliers and their 21 pistols

Plastic wings will see luvvvv...

Maybe I will somehow finally create my Warhawks!

Finlay · « **Reply #1657 on:** January 18, 2010, 01:16:54 PM »

by my "plastic wings" comment, I meant I need more info about the plastic wings!

I still have all the old Beast Harpies (which I use for my DE cos the naked warty ones SUCK ASS) without wings.

Expensive! And they won't fit on those old harpies either.

Finlay · « **Reply #1659 on:** January 18, 2010, 01:38:50 PM »

yeh, they are too expensive.

Pinning/Green stuff would make them fit though.
Might try and buy just wings on ebay

jullevi · « **Reply #1660 on:** January 18, 2010, 06:23:34 PM »

If I were to convert harpies, I would use these wings from MaxMini.

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #1661 on:** January 18, 2010, 06:25:11 PM »

I think ungors with those wings would look very impish.....I like.

It's all about the money...

How is it different from empire state troops?

Phil

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1665 on:** January 20, 2010, 12:50:31 PM »

Not that I care, but I think the ungors are more expensive than the empire troops.

phillyt · « **Reply #1666 on:** January 20, 2010, 12:55:52 PM »

They are the same in the US, both are $25. Maybe it is different in other countries, certainly wouldn't be the first time!

Phil

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #1667 on:** January 20, 2010, 12:57:52 PM »

Oh.

When I looked on the GW site last, they were £15 compared to £12 for empire troops. I may have been wrong, and I don't care enough to check.

Beastmen with bows are a good idea though!

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #1668 on:** January 20, 2010, 12:59:24 PM »

They still are £15 for 10.

I will be getting a boxed set for use as Satyr.

phillyt · « **Reply #1669 on:** January 20, 2010, 01:00:46 PM »

So we in america pay more for Empire troops? Son of a bitch!

Or am I not recalling correctly?

Unless you are paying less for ungors.

Are you going to add on the perpetually erect sexual organs then?

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #1671 on:** January 20, 2010, 01:05:18 PM »

No, because then people would comment.

That and I find that distasteful personally, I wouldn't mind if someone else had done so, but me, no.

phillyt · « **Reply #1672 on:** January 20, 2010, 01:10:21 PM »

You know, I think Empire models are only $20. So yeah, ungor are too high.

Phil

Taureus · « **Reply #1673 on:** January 20, 2010, 04:17:02 PM »

Ungor Herd: 24.75 USD
Empire State Troops: 22.00 USD

Less than 3 dollars!!

Given your nickname, you'll be fielding Minotaurs only anyway, so why bother?
