I'm going to take on a Salamanders' list, they have a couple of units (Salamander Devastators/Terminators) which have unique weapons. Does anyone have suggestions of how to model these? Devs need a multi melta, the Termies, thunder hammers/storm shield. My thoughts at the moment involve a lot of fiddly work with plasticard and green stuff. I know their are minis available, but these are beyond my hobby pocket. |

I'd just leave them as standard models, I'm not hugely familiar with the salamanders list but if it has two variants of a particular unit, a different paintjob to differentiate them in games would more than suffice, if you want to model them up then good luck! |

Warmasternice has done some very good conversions of the basic GW plastic marines to carry a range of heavy/spec weapons … i don't have a link though. edit: this was the thread i was thinking of, but the pictures are down http://www.taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/ ... 19&t=16303 might be on his new blog now if you search about |

I could make some conversion components on Shapeways if you want, but they are so tiny that I think just painting them differently would work! |

I have a plan. The multi melta - start with standard missile launcher, cut the front/back/most of the top off, leaving a rectangle with a small fin on top. Then attach two pieces of plasticard rod, one on top of the other, to form the gun barrels. Thunder hammers - plasticard rod for the handle, square of plasticard for the head. Storm shield - plasticard cut to shape of shield, layer of Agrellan Earth (to get crackle effect), painted as volcanic earth or lizard skin. If anyone's tried similar, I would love to hear about/see results. |
