Honda Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Brothers, I have decided to add Vet Sgts with PF and a combi-flamer to my tactical drop squads. However, I am in search of an elegant, but not too difficult design for this. I thought about adding the flamer canister to the combi-plasma gun and calling it done, but before I do something like that, I thought I'd turn the problem over to the true technical geniuses that reside on this board. Challenge: Build a combi-flamer Framework: May use parts from the flamer, any commonly accessed bolter, guns from the command squad or commander pack, assault squad, or tactical squad. Over to you my brothers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 take a bolter and cut off the muzzle of a flamer then put some tubing behing the magazine into a marines backpack so its like a back pack linked flamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamez Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I use storm bolters. cut off one of the two barrels, and replace it with the end piece of the flamer (and a bit of the two tubes) add the fuel canister to the side, maybe a few cables, and hey presto!

Barret Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 My solution: Normal bolter + holstered hand flamer. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordofski Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 1. Slice barrel off bolter. 2. Slice nozle off flamer. 3. Glue flamer nozle to lower front of bolter. 4. Glue bolter barrel above flamer nozle. 5. Glue flamer tank or something tank-like along side of bolter, where ever you feel it looks best. This is simple, effective, and leaves no tubes to be shot up as the fuel lines are internal. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/Gordofski/combi-flamer1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/Gordofski/combi-flamer2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelias Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 i use a combi-melta due to the "fuel cannister" on the side and just cut off the melta barrel and add a flamer one..... job done! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatGrinder Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'd do what cornelias says except i'd swap the position of the barrel with the flamer so the flamer is on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Two designs, both using the old handflamer and two different versions of bolter: http://www.fierylions.nl/Pictures/ForumPictures/1-4-7-1.jpg http://www.fierylions.nl/Pictures/ForumPictures/FieryLionsScoutSergeant1a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divergent Reality Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 build the flamer into the powerfist. slap the exit point where the fire goes out on the back of the fist, so the model could point and shoot their cleansing flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honda Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Excellent guys! I knew you'd come through in a pinch. At first glance, Gordofski's version is really looking intriguing, but the others are doable as well. I think I'll fiddle around a bit and see what comes together. Thanx very much!

feuer_faust Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I thirds the combi-melta idea: but the barrel tends to be fragile. The third edition BBB had a couple on the cover art... the one with all the Black Templars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSecretSquirrel Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Or go the Ripley route from "Aliens" and duck tape a flamer to the side of a Bolter. Sounds hokey but if you did it up with a green stuff shoulder strap and bindings it could look pretty cool. Use a shoulder stock from an IG Lasgun to gove the Bolter a full length feel, and then strap the flamer to the left side (ie.. non ejection port side) so the bolter could still function.

Commander Sha'son Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 er...or you could use the night lords champion combi flamer. shouldnt be to difficult to de chaosify it and copy it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeothar Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 the heresy, A space wolf model abused and turned into a DA. You should see his squad (all ex-Bloodclaws from the same boxed set); I bought them about 15 years ago before I realised I liked secrets better than smelly fur and did them up shortly after. :P This Sergeant is about to have his weaponry swapped for the 2nd time since he was built btw, as combiflamers are no longer a DA vet Sarge option (and handflamers were outlawed with 3rd ed.)... :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordofski Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Duck tape? I think you mean duct tape there, Red Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSecretSquirrel Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Duck tape? I think you mean duct tape there, Red Green. Yeah, but that would have meant I would have had to stop and think about how to spell "duct", and since "duct" tape is next to useless for tapeing air "ducts" I always think of it as "duck tape". even have some that the label calls "Duck tape" But you get the point...

metcalfedan Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I used some parts from an imperial guard flamer and the SM commander's combi-melta: (the one on the left is the combi-flamer btw) http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_9390.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

son of nocturne Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Taken me three years of playing with bolters and flamers to suss this out and i finally made a decent looking combi flamer: S.O.N. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seldom Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Gotten nothing but positive remarks on my conversions: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jeskasl/SANY0509.jpg This work out fantastic!!! Have converted all my plasma combi's to Bolter/flamer combi. You can also use this conversion technique on normal bolters as well, by cutting the flamer at the base of the barrel hand grip and gluing hard up against the mag on the bolter.

Sigismund Himself Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Rindaris' method can be found here in the Librarium. Marius' alternative method, instead using the combi-melta, can be found here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I cut the handle off a flamerpistol and the bottom handle off the bolter and glue them lightly together... works fairly well for me. Not sure if they still have flamerpistols in the assault squads though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoby Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I found a good way if you dont have hand flamers or any combi weapons in your bits box, I can't take pics atm but basically: cut the bolter grip off to the base of the barrel, get a bolt pistol and cut around the back of the casing and remove the hand, the sights on top and the barrel. Cut the end of a flamer off including the grip and file/cut the top pipe to flatten it slightly. Now with a little more filing and a little bit of greenstuff all 3 pieces should fit together nicely, if youre feeling adventurous its not hard to sculpt a small fuel tank by pressing an egg shaped bit of greenstuff onto the side (in my case covering up the worst looking bit of the joins ;) ) and 2 thin sausages of greenstuff at the ends in a similar style to on the actual flamers. Will try to get a pic up soon if anyones interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
