Krucious Arkanadae Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I love heavy bolters, there are so many sick pieces of art work and book description of a astartes hefting around one of these beast. But as far as models go, there is little variety. Has anyone done anything to change up/ model/ customize a space marine with a heavy bolter?

Maarten Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I've chopped the middle piece from a cadian heavy bolter and then glued the other 2 pieces together, takes away about 0,5/1 cm. And then I glued a plasma gun handle and butstock arm pair to it(cadian) I guess it works with SM arms aswell. Oh nearly forgot, shortend the ammo chain aswell, so I could glue the ammo box strait to the gun.

Glaeken Templaris Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 you could try using a CSM heavy bolter in its place Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2328147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
glsn Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I put one on a Space Marine Commander (as seen in DOW2) and used him as an Inquisitor with a Psycannon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2331374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captian Karnivore Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Once I find a spare drumfeed bit I'll post a bit of my HB marine, Not the greatest conversion in hte world (I screwed up the posing) but it looks nice so far. I'll keep you posted. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2374227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Flame Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Once I do my renegades I'll have chaos ones plain longer feed feed into box box feed straight on the gun, thought of using storm bolter or assault cannon boxes.

Maarten Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 box feed straight on the gun, thought of using storm bolter or assault cannon boxes. You're giving me idea's! What about making it like the space wolf assault cannon, complete with chain feed from the back(pack) that could be incorporated. You chop of the rear handle and make him hold the top one only, with his right hand ofcourse. The waving something with his left hand.

CaptinLoken Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Scouts Squads have a very good model carrying a heavy bolter with out the long metal belt feed ammo. I actually like that mini over the normal marine with a heavy bolter. You could modify it to fit a regular marine I'm sure of it. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...ain_445x319.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2375569 Share on other sites More sharing options...

commander alexander Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Try replacing the belt feed with a drum. You can use IG grenade launcher drums, Auto cannon drums, or making your own. I think one of the witch hunters vehicles comes with drums on their heavy bolters. You can get bi-pods from scout sniper kits, and scopes from tactical squads.

Cyrox Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 The spare Heavy Bolter ammo box from the Dev sprue can be used instead of the ammo belt, with a bit of modelling. Will post a pic whe i get home from work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2400623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praesul Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Well, its not painted up, but I made this one from a Steel Legion heavy bolter, Imperial Guard Grenade Launcher and a "sighting" device from god knows where. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i238/Aehriman/Warhammer/DSC01418.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2445122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debauchery101 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 ive always toyed with making rambo style heavy bolters with side fed link-belt ammo that the marine holds with his left arm while hip shooting with his right. ive never gotten around to it yet due to hardly using heavy bolters since i play chaos and rather choose auto cannons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195190-heavy-bolters/#findComment-2477833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
