Saurin1 writes; You know for just a simple idea about a quick game. This
string has grown to a good discussion!. What did you use to cut up the
terminators. Shurrely a not a razor saw? A new xacto blade? Insane! Not
really.You should have my job.My sons want to try a few of those
conversions. We have done some on IG Ogrins and SM and Orc
Commaners.

Actually, all I use is a small craft knifr from a DIY store, a fairly rough file,
and a lot of swear words.
  I have found that a lot of the work is actually in the painting, you only
need a (relativly) crude approximation of what your trying to build on the
model, the rest is all done with paint. eg the chainfist is just a thin piece of
plasticard, but if you do a thin line of gunmetal along all the thin edges, it
looks like the chain itself, if you look close enough.
  Anyway I missed some from the list, a Cyclone can be done by adding a
small lump of plasticard to the top of the Terminator and painting the
powerfist to represent the targetter. A Terminator chaplain can have the
Crosius Arcanum added to the powerfist, witha little thin plasticard, and a
bit of bone paint for the helmet. Rules for the Terminator Librarian are a
combination of the Terminators firepower, CAF, and save, with the normal
rules for those characters (for SM/TL) cost is +50pts on top of the normal
character cost.
