Hi guys, I promised to show you how to build a
Triarch Stalker so here it is!
Step 1
Buy a Ghost Ark kit and make sure you have the
necessary tools. You will need:
- Plastic Glue
- Super Glue
- 1 File
- Clippers
- Hobby Knife
- Hobby Saw
- Green Stuff
- Ghost Ark Kit
Step 2
Follow the normal GW instructions from step 2 to
step 5 (when at step 5 do NOT glue on the 6 thrusters. Everything
else is ok to glue on. After you have have completed the steps you
should have this:
Step 3
Next you need to cut out six leg pieces. You then
need to saw the large round hole at the think end of the leg in half
and file of all the parts you don’t want on you legs. Below is a
before and after picture.
(I ended up even cutting off the top hook part of
the leg, you will see what I mean if you scroll down to the finished
picture)
Step 4
Repeat this 5 more times. You will need to have 6
legs. When you cut off the bottom part of the leg you my notice holes
in the plastic, just fill these with greenstuff and file off later.
Step 5
Just under the driver are 3 square boxes that the thruster were suppose to go in. If you cut out the top of these parts your legs will slot right in.
(the big white spot on the big square is where the cut is made on each square)
Step 6
Next you want to put a layer of super glue into a
square you want to add a leg. Then put in greenstuff, then more
super glue. (you want to do each leg separately or your glue will dry
up as you are placing your first leg)
Step 7
Squish in your leg and make sure you position it
into a place that looks right for you. Continue this process until
your six legs are in position and the stalker is standing how you
want it to.
Step 8
Cut out 2 more legs. These ones you can cut how
ever you please. these legs will be going on the front of the stalker
to complete the spider image. Here is how I did mine.
(A leg I cut up to be glued on next to the Stalkers eye)
Step 9
For the last step you just need to make up the
Heatray, as i have no idea what a Heatry looks like I made my own. I
made the gun up out of 4 Deathmark guns. I also added a few bits to
make it look a bit cleaner. This part is really up to you. I am sure
you can think of some cool ways to make a Heatray!
Finished Product
If you have any questions please ask the in the comments section and I will answer them as best I can!
Cheers Lads!

That's awesome. Not sure I'll get around to trying it out as by the time I've finished the models I have there will probably be an actual kit, but that conversion is spot-on.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial too, thanks for sharing!
