molsonbeagle Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So I've got these scouts from the battlforce and i'd really like to make them sniper scouts, but the battleforce didn't come with any snipers...is it possible to turn the shotguns into sniper rifles? I'm not new to converting, my other arm is orks, so i'm ok with some cutting, GS'ing and so on and so forth, i'm just curious if anybody has done it...Thanks...btw i did a search and I couldn't find anything that really helped me. Beag edit: force not froce Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197405-scouts-from-battleforce/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolf363839 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 You might try using the Bolter arms, adding scopes to them along with elongated barrels (maybe lasguns or paperclips, etc) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197405-scouts-from-battleforce/#findComment-2351688 Share on other sites More sharing options...

molsonbeagle Posted April 7, 2010 Author Share Posted April 7, 2010 I want them to be snipers because my friend plays nids and has a swarmlord that pretty much annihilates whatever i throw at it, so i'd like to knock it down before it can get to me.

You do realize you are throwing half of their effectivness away for just 1 model in the entire game by giving them snipers.

I agree with OP but i have normal scouts also normally Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/197405-scouts-from-battleforce/#findComment-2351992 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karack Blackstone Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 15 PC's sounds like fun if you can get the models. Also ML's could be good, templates or Krak depending, only downside is the armor save still can be taken. Thus the PC suggestion, nice. All around I'd wager any big bug coming up from underground would be his response to this tactic, so keep some option to have them in cover or off the ground for this.

Ullr Direfang Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I actually plan to have a unit of sniper equipped scout so it isn't a 100% horrible idea. yes it isn't what they are know for but i am sure they use them much like modern snipers while OBELing. But i would have to say that i plan on using mine against squishy squads, and not for HQ hunting, but i suppose that it would be a solid way to inflict some wound on the big bugs, and maybe even outright kill them. just have to watch out for them getting stuck in H2H. back to OP. I feel the shotguns don't look "rifle" enough for the conversion. if you can get your hand on the plasticard tubes, they make small ones and turn those into longer barrels for the bolters i think it would work and add some green stuff to the end.

JoWW that mofo. against a I6 monstrous creature? not to mention that it has "shadow of the warp" (which i can't remember if that has a range associated with it or not).
