Drazzo Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I was wondering if a regular GKT can swap his NFW out for a Thunder Hammer without taking the Storm Shield or is the HQ the only ones that can do this? I'm asking 'cause I have an extra TH but don't want to cut off a storm bolter and screw up a good looking model (I don't do conversions very well).

Chengar Qordath Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Normal GKTs have to either use an NFW and Storm Bolter or a Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield, they can't mix and match between the two. You could field an HQ with a Hammer and Storm Bolter, but that costs a lot of points for not that much gain (especially if you're giving up the GKGM's NFW), while swapping out the gear of a normal GKT is free.

Empty Bolter Clip Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm asking 'cause I have an extra TH but don't want to cut off a storm bolter and screw up a good looking model (I don't do conversions very well). Â You could always just glue a shield strapped to the GK's belt or something and keep the stormbolter arm just for looks. Or just glue it onto his stormbolter arm, leaving the SB in place, similar to the SM Champion's combat shield. (or whatever its called) Â ... just some ideas.

Inquisitor Fox Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I let the BC of my Elites choice Termies swap both the Nemesis Force Weapon and Storm Bolter for a Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield for free. I then purchase from the Armory a Psycannon, and replace his Storm Shield with it. Free Thunder Hammer, and the Psycannon I was going to buy anyway. Â Sadly as far as I can tell from the wording in the entry, a standard Terminator must take both the Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield, they cannot pick just one or the other.

I am just beginning my conversions and have finally found a decent th but am still tossing around ideas for my storm shields. What have you guys done?

Magnus Thane Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Are there people who favor barebones GKT's or? A GKT squad with an incinerator? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190104-weapon-options-for-gkt/#findComment-2254438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Are there people who favor barebones GKT's or? A GKT squad with an incinerator? An incinerator a good choice for GKT if they're going to be charging out a Land Raider.

Grand Master Caloth Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 My conversion was horrifically simple, but i do greatly enjoy the resulting look. I cut the glaive head from a NFW (the model had his blade pointed down toward the ground, so the haft came back behind the model and his hand was slightly above where the glaive head would start), a pinned a TH head in its place. One of my best friends, Bloodied_fist, then worked his magic in removing the Storm Bolter from the other arm and fitting the Assault Terminator Sergeant's long SS into its place. Will have to try and get some pictures added, but im deployed to Afghanistan so Bloodied_fist would have to take them and get them posted in my stead.

Grand Master Caloth Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Forgive the bad quality, was taken on my camera phone a year ago. When i return i plan to take a much better pic, and well as of the rest of my army. Kudos and honors go to my best friend Bloodied_fist who did the paint job and kindly sacrificed a TH and SS for the sake of (in our opinions) a sweet conversion. He did the painting on this while i was tied up in my two Dreadnoughts the night before the TSHIFT in 2008. (we subsequently overslept and missed the first round by 10 mins... Bad directions didnt help. lol). So while the shadows dont do the model justice, any who see fit to say a kind word on the paint job should direct them to Bloodied_fist.

Grand Master Caloth Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 it is COMPLETELY possible, kennedy. lol. Actually, i want to say yes you did but i cant be positive. Cant wait to get better pics to post, and do the model and my buddy's paint job justice!
