Is the master of the forge going to be released in GW stores soon or is it just a normal techmarine with a servo harness that you have to convert your self to have a conversion beamer. Has anyone conerted one yet and can anyone give me tips on how to convert normal tecmarines into a conversion beamer master of the forge.
Would you just have the normal servo harness or the conversion beamer?
As far as I know there aren't even any rumours of a release yet, so as you say, currently your best bet is to convert one from an existing Techmarine in Servo-Harness.
As for the Servo Harness / Conversion Beamer debate... it depends on what army you are facing and what you want your Master of the Forge to do, really. I know that if I was giving him a Conversion Beamer I would probably mount him on a bike!
he can still repair on a 5+, he just doesn't get the +1 to the roll bonus that the servo-harness grants.
and no, you can't just equip him with a single servo-arm, he comes with the harness standard and i think the conversion beam is the only way to replace it.
You can still repair vehicles without the servo-harness. The master of the Forge has the "Blessing of the Omnissiah" rule which allows him to repair vehicles. The only difference the servo-harness makes is that it modifies your result making it easier to repair vehicles.
Also, without the servo-harness, the Master of the Forge only has one servo arm. As for converting him, i would make a normal tech marine, and not glue on all of the stuff to his backpack. Only glue 1 arm. To represent the conversion beamer, you might want to give him a super fancy gun. As crispcarter said, i don't think GW has a master of the forge in the pipe just yet as he can be converted with reasonable ease from a tech marine.
If I do convert a Fennias Maxim (Ultramarines Master of the Forge) on foot with a Conversion Beamer, I plan to have it so that the Servo Harness is holding the gun instead of equipped with the usual claws/cutters etc.
I must get around to doing that actually.
actually it just says that the servo harness is replaced by the beamer, but when the dex first came out, I aked on here and it was interpreted that the servo harness replaces a servo arm with a pair, so if you take off the harness, you lose both servo arms.
