metcalfedan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hey guys, Due to a request by brother Cambrius, here's my WIP Conversion Beamer using parts salvaged from my Lascannon Predator, a Cadian Lascannon and some LEGO(oh and blue-tac): http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0130.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0131.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0132.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0133.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0134.jpg C&C please.

Brother Cambrius Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I like a lot Metcalfedan. :D Now I know what to do with my spre bits from my Terminus. :huh: Are GW acutally going to sell a MotF or do we need to convert one? <EDIT> One thing I will recommend though is to perhaps hide the evidence that the barrels are lego. I imagine it'll look better once painted but perhaps some GS could be used here. :jaw: Cambrius Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1782949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis Rex Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 electric guitar wire, green stuff and a power supply of some sort then it would look tops! I really like the concept and shape. 2c Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1783367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mick Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Even unpainted it looks very well already :lol:. Keep going!! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1783430 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disistablishmentarianism Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 electric guitar wire ARGH! The infinite rage, but yes, a power supply would look nice. Anyway, looks nice!

TechnoBanker Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 "Disis" Why the rage? You don't like electric guitar wire? (I'm just being an instigator here...) MetDan: Loving the outcome. Simple yet effective and serves the imagery of the Conversion Beamer. Question though, are you using this as a seperate base, or is the MotF going to be somewhere else on it? Again some type of power source would be beneficial, maybe you could connect it to the MotF directly, maybe using one of the Las Cannon or Plasma Cannon backpacks? I dunno, just shooting some ideas your way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1790518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phish Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 i think its a very clever use of bits/legos and well exicuted, but to me it seems kinda like a super lascannon. if it were me i would probably try to cover the tips of the las cannons with plas card to make it look kinda like a triangle, but thats just my 2 cents. cant wait to see the finished product. phish Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1790524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnoBanker Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 ^^ I think that instead of going with some plasticard, you could use one more lego bit and do kinda a "ray gun" effect with one of those half dome pieces (inverted of course). I envision a focused laser kinda like the Death Star...

Sons of Horus Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 it doesn't seem to much like a conversion beamer to me. just really looks like an ordinary triple lascannon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1790674 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 @Sons of Horus: that's cos it's not finished ;) @TechnoBanker & phish: I see what you both mean, I'll have a little play around and see what I can do, the beauty is that I haven't glued anything yet. It's all held together with blue-tac. @TechnoBanker: I'm still trying to decide on that one, I'm going to use a metal Techmarine and convert it a little, but if I glue him to this base, then I wont be able to use him as a normal Techmarine as well. :( @everyone else: Thanks for the feedback. :D EDIT: spelling Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/153002-conversion-beamer/#findComment-1790694 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Metcalfedan, it does look like a bad ass triple lascannon =-D maybe..you should take it off the tripod, and mount it on a bike or something..

metcalfedan Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 And Metcalfedan, it does look like a bad ass triple lascannon =-D maybe..you should take it off the tripod, and mount it on a bike or something.. Because it is on and IG Lascannon stand, it fits rather snugly without glue (and can swivel), so I'm planning on having one base with it on the floor and convert an attack bike so that the gun can literally be mounted on either!
