Maligoare Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I was busy making Sternguard, and realised I would need a combi-flamer at some point. I'm not too fond of the usual method of having most of a flamer stuck on for a single shot (unlike the Plasma and Melta versions, oddly enough), so after a couple of minutes work, I came up with this: Step 1 - Find a spare SM flamer and bolter of your choice. I decided on a BT one, but it only really changes the symbol on the fuel canister. Cut the fuel canister and igniter assembly away carefully, so you end up with these bits: http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/82/combiflamertut1ok9.jpghttp://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4199/combiflamertut2ek4.jpg Step 2 - Trim the igniter assembly to fit the underside of the bolter and glue it in place. Dry fitting is recommended here. http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/4259/combiflamertut3kx8.jpg Step 3 - Cut the fuel canister in half (carefully! I forget how many times I nearly took a chunk out of my thumb here), or file it down to give a half cylinder. Step 4 - Shave off the detailing (eagle, skull, whatever) on the side of the bolter, then attach the fuel canister there. http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/8220/combiflamerjy8.jpg Voila, one combi-flamer!

Rogue Trooper Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Nice, I personally like having the flamer nozzle but this is a great looking alternative. Pretty much works as WYSIWIG as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I too like the flamer nozel. But this looks cool! though..it is kind of a waste of Flamer material..just using the pilot lite..and the can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not to worry, the rest can easily be used in other conversions - it really encourages you to think creatively! A couple of the things I have seen on here lately using flamer parts are a Stalker Pattern Boltgun and a Manreaper for Mortarion (I think), so the bits need not be wasted!

Dusktiger Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i've seen a very similar version used in the examples GW has on how to detail personalized black templars. there's one with some fluff about how he's a veteran of fighting 'nids in sewers, and the modder had dont the same thing for his sgt. only i think he used that lil canister thingy on the Black Templar accessory sprue. you know the one; the lil canister that looks vaguely like a urn thingy they use in churches.

Tyrannicide Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I also like the additional flamer nozzle, but it's not bad at all. Good job. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigismund Himself Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hey Maligoare, can we put this into the Librarium? Full credit will be given, as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 You are more than welcome to do that Sigismund, I'd be honoured! :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popfenton Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I really like this as most combi-flamer conversions look very clunky to me. I'm also really like this for anyone planning on having their model holding this w/ one hand, I think it would just fit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drac0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 One of the staff members at games workshop had that conversion on his Black templars, but it wasn't meant to be a combi-weapon though, it was to represent some special Bolters BT's had used on a piece of fluff. Still very creative man, and nice tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
