I mean, the body _should_ be completely different, but the conversion rules only specify the weapon, right? And that would give us something to do with them.

I am converting one and buying one. I prefer to have two different looking models if I put two of them in a list. If I need 3 I’ll likely do another conversion.  |

I'm considering converting my Impalers to Harpys, perhaps the most Hordes insulting warjack ever released. 2x 12" Thunderbolts, POW13, RAT 6 for 9pts. 1 Focus gives two chances for Crit KD, and the higher RAT provides more Crit options for success. 26 damage boxes vs 22?! My Impalers and Nephilum Bolt Thrower are disgusted and staring from their shelf with those CID eyes... My excitement for the Crit Stationary of the Ice Troll was cooled when I saw the Harpy stats, but only slightly. Gunny and Kolgrimma assured the Ice Trolls that those bad Harpys would be handled...first. Stock in EBDT and/or Bouncers/Warders soar in response to Harpy. KC enthusiasm takes a hit. Banshee banned, sheesh. Did I mention there's a lot of Ret players in my venue?  |

I don't have a link handy, and it won't do anything to reduce the population of Impalers out there, but I did see a pretty neat Ice Troll conversion on eBay recently that used a Storm Troll.
I'm now wishing I hadn't traded away my extra Storm Troll.

I'm now wishing I hadn't traded away my extra Storm Troll. Yeah I saw that one too and it was pulled off pretty well. I still have 5 Storm Trolls from Mk2 EE that never see the table now so this will be the first project next year. |

I turned a plastic Impaler into an Axer. I should do that again sometime and take pictures as I go so I can post a tutorial somewhere.

I only own one impaler, and i like the new model enough to pay for it.
The Ice troll sure seem like a superior piece to the impaler though...

I plan to buy an ice troll for sure, I just figured it's the easiest way to reduce the glut of impalers in the world. I figure I'll keep the first one I painted intact, but convert the others to something else, and ice troll involves less work than the rest.
