Alright i am pretty sure this will work but i wanted to double check before i went ahead and blew 20 bucks on this stuff

I want to use the Head, and the Halbred arm from this model:

And then i want to use the body and the Shield from this model:

http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefr...138&orignav=13

I am pretty sure my common sense on judging and comparing model sizes says those will work perfectly together with no real hassle at all

Am i right??? will those be a perfect fit????

The halberd is rather large. I don't think a model on foot could hold it without looking awkward, especially if he's also holding a shield and can't wield the halbered with two hands.

It should work with little or no conversion work. Size wise they are identical, if you look closely you will see they are wearing the same armor.

Yeah it won't be a problem. A rather cool conversion to.

As far as size goes the two sets of pieces would fit very well together. However, if you look at the helberd hand, you will see that thw weapon is being held at a downward angle. I'm pretty sure this would be taller than the standing model, so the helbierd will hit the floor if mounted straight to the model. You will need to alter the angle at which model carries the weapon in order to allow it to stand up properly

Cheers,
Rich.

there's nothing saying that you can't have the blade of the halberd closer to the ground than the shaft, it's called a "flourish"

I actually got these two models, a Wraithguard and a blister of witch elves (all for aproximatly 12£!) at a store selling away all their Warhammer.

I took the weapons of each and compared it and they fit perfectly togheter, without the halberd touching the ground . It's more like he's holding it behind his back with the blade pointing a bit downwards. Looks excellent. Will steal the idea for my path to Glory warband. :shifty:
