Sounds great, but I am also Sans-photos... can't wait to see 'em though ;)

 

Edit:

 

@ The Angelus Sanctus : Thanks for the tip!

 

The pics look pretty cool, would be nice to get bigger shots from the original people in order to get a clearer view for archive purposes :)

 

I have a slightly different Stormbolter idea, I shaved the left side off of one bolter, the right off another and glued them together - used some GS to clean it up, moved the target notch and laser sight to the center (removing the extra) and added the manual eject pull to the left side.

Another neat idea to go along with your arm swap, is to cut and flip the left hand so it looks like the marine is trying to keep the weapon from kicking back or he is holding it slightly more at ease (sorry my example is from a Meltagun, but it illustrates the idea - which I think I nipped from Barph with one of his bolter guys).

Yet another category might be adding bayonets & other close combat bitz, or even adding "fold out" stocks to them.

How about this converted bolter made from a new plastic one, in Rogue Trader style?

Hmm my sub machine gun bolter. I had a squad with botlers and I wanted pistols so it was handy at the time.

There's always the Filienostos Pattern Bolt Pistol:

As carried by Veteran Sergeant Rhadmanthys of the Brazen Claws, who of course, is now a member of the Legio Bolter & Chainsword...must get around to painting him in LBC colours...

 

Pretty simple conversion, just get a plastic autopistol from the old CC weapons sprue, chop off the barrel and add it to the end of a bolt pistol, simple really ;) I also added a slightly longer clip to this pistol, just to balance out the extra barrel length but I don't think that's really necessary...

hi all, thanks for the pm lastman. unfortunatley the gallery i had saved the photos in was deleted for whatever reason, so the photos that i had saved have been lost to the warp.

 

some of the links still work, the ones that link to other peoples galleries and whatnot.

 

i cant remember now where i got the photos from, i know there is a list of people i took them from but i dont know anymore than that.

 

my deepest regrets

I know they aren't the best quality. I don't have my cam at the moment, so I'm using my webcam.

From before, and a couple added..

 

http://nemfx.8m.net/Ultramarines/photo1.jpg <- Bayonet.

http://nemfx.8m.net/Ultramarines/photo7.jpg <- Shortened the back. More compact looking.

http://nemfx.8m.net/Ultramarines/photo26.jpg <- Two pictures of my attempt

http://nemfx.8m.net/Ultramarines/photo28.jpg <- at photographing a drum barrel bolter.

http://nemfx.8m.net/Ultramarines/photo11.jpg <- Not a bolter, but flames could also be bolter smoke.

http://nemfx.8m.net/Ultramarines/photo32.jpg <- Heavy bolter I made from lego and a bead, almost exact size

 

I know they aren't the best quality. I don't have my cam at the moment, so I'm using my webcam.

 

I'll definatley think about the bolters next time I get marines. I'll come up with something neat to share. :devil:

 

.. please don't link the photos directly, the site doesnt allow that.
