rodgambit Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I know the commander box has one, but is there a better place to get some for our wolf guard pack leaders or should we just make our own?

SamaNagol Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Bits websites and ebay will have some of the ones from the Commander box. That's the best one out there. It is possible to build your own, but it is no more difficult getting meltaguns for parts than it is to get Combi Meltas anyway.

If you actually have the extra Melta Guns, some guy on here recently linked to a blog of his with directions on how to make good Combi Meltas using Melta Guns and Storm Bolters. They looked really sharp, and didn't appear to be too difficult to pull off. Maybe he'll notice this thread and pop back in with that link. You could also use the search function and see if you can find it yourself.

AdeptusDavidus Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 The Sternguard vets come with two combi-meltas and a combi-plasma. I know some people don't care for metals, but the Sternguard models are very nice. There are several tutorials in the Librarium for converting combi-weapons, too, of course. I personally don't care for the storm bolter variant, I think the vertical arrangement is more pleasing to the eye.

mastrchief33 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If I remember correctly, battlewagonbitz.com sells the commander combi-melta bit for 9.00 USD. I don't have money to use on stuff like that, so I custom built mine for power armour guys. There's no real formula but basically you take a bolter, cut off the barrel and put the meltagun barrel in its place. If you trim everything off the front on the bolter then there will be enough room under neath to reattach the bolter's barrel. Doesn't look as cool or clean as the gw bit, but it serves well enough if you've got the bits laying around.

Games Workshop is selling packs of five Meltaguns for $6.60 USD.

SamaNagol Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 The commander combi-melta is currently out of stuck, but sells for £1.50 on most bitz websites. That's approximately $2.25 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187742-combi-melta/#findComment-2221709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which was no big deal since only one of the models in there is designed to hold it anyways...

Ive made a few from stormbolters, but I also bought like five of that commander set when it came out, because it was *at the time* the best place to get specialty weaponry for wolf gaurd.

Alas, you are correct, and I am an idiot. :D I must've been thinking that there are two combi-weapons in the pack, then a wire got crossed when I went to list which two they were. You're right. One figure comes with both a combimelta and a combiplasma cast on his sprue tab. The metal Sternguard bolters would make a really nice-looking base for a combimelta or combiflamer, though.
