averykess Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I got the Sniper Scout boxed set and I decided to kit up my sgt for whatever he might need to protect the poor 1A snipers -- they always get charged by my Necron friend's scarabs. I couldn't find a good tutorial for making a combi-flamer that wouldn't require cutting up a $4 combi-melta bit, so I just came up with this one. It should be easy to figure out without a tutorial. The flamer fuel canister is cut in half with the top removed, as it is only a one-shot. The hand is from the left hand plasma pistol. The powerfist is from the Cadian command squad, with the forearm cut and rotated to hold the melta bomb in a more natural position. He is still a WIP, I know there are still some mold lines. :blink: I'd like to add a sling to the combi-flamer, but I haven't figured out a good way to do that yet. C&C welcome! http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4015/4461417132_c2bed6f3d9_o.jpg -Edited to add additional photos of the powerfist- The scout half arm is cut off at the shoulder pad. The shoulder pad of the Cadian powerfist is also cut off. They line up rather well. I removed the melta bomb for clarity (read: I accidentally popped it off). http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2754/4461606244_9f9931c0aa_o.jpg You can see where I removed the pistol holster and added a pouch and grenade from the tactical sprue. You can kinda see that I left the sniper rifle pack on his tailpiece and will probably run a couple of cables from it to the powerfist. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4460828953_41def3dcf8_o.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan The Deamon Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I like the combi flamer, it's very inventive and looks like it works too! Can we get another shot of the power fist? It looks like it could be a cool swap but it's hard to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuruD Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 What did you use for the bolter barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averykess Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 What did you use for the bolter barrel? The bolter barrel is a piece of strip styrene from Evergreen. I don't know the exact size -- this was from the Rod and Tube assortment pack (#217). I had originally tried to glue the original one back on in a higher position, but when I tried to drill it out, it came loose. The Evergreen had the advantage of already being hollow, so I drilled out the flash suppressor and then cut it to length. I cut it a bit longer than a standard bolter so it wouldn't look too stubby above the flamer nozzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 A couple of nice simple conversions that make a very characterful WYSIWYG mini. Only niggle is that his left arm looks a bit strange with the bracer removed from his wrist. I look forward to seeing him painted up.

averykess Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys! I've just finished up his squad-mates (3 snipers and 1 missile launcher) so maybe I can get some painting done soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
