Combi-Weapons

I take a stormbolter, cut off the front, then add a barrel tip from a bolt pistol on one side and the end of a plasma pistol (or melta pistol / multi melta) on the other. Look it up on the space wolves blog, they have pictures of it there. Looks good to me.

I recently had a game with my mate and used 30 wg in pods all with combi-plasmas, worked a treat but I justed used braygunters to represent. Figured with the special ammo codex marines get for their sternguard it wasn't too far fetched an idea that they loaded special plasma clips for their first volley. I wanna use them more often and theirs no way I'm buying/ converting 30 of em. Took me ages fiddling to make just 2 of em for my termies.

 

With only firing 1 shot I really don't see the problem with just saying its special ammo.

I only cut off the one barrel and then add the other bit, *shrugs*.

 

But there are good bitz in the SM Commander box set.

The Space Wolves Pack stormbolters have one extra wide oval-ish barrel rather than two separate ones. Carving a good looking normal round sized barrel out of that wide one is beyond my skill level.

Do you bash the weapons together, or are there proper bits?

 

 

I've done both. As stated, the "Commander" boxed set comes with a Combi-Plasma and a Combi-Melta, so I've used those, and I've bought a few extra of each from eBay/Bitz sites. For my lates Wolf Guard in Power Armour, I just used one of the Storm Bolters from the Space Wolves Pack and modified it. I cut the oval-shaped "barrel" off, then added a single barrel from a Boltgun, and the barrel from a Meltagun and used plastic cement to put them on, side-by-side. Prior to cutting the barrels from their original weapons I bore a hole into each with a tiny "Dremel" drill bit. For the last bit, I shaved off the three small Wolf Skulls from the side of the Storm Bolter opposite the ejection port, and then used plastic cement to stick on the little "canister" thing that is always on the side of a standard Meltagun.

 

Once it was all together, I thought it looked pretty damned good. Probably better than the actual Combi-melta from the Commander sprue. Unfortunately, I haven't bothered to take any pictures of this or get it painted yet.

I cut off the front of a bolter scope and then glue it underneath the bolter's barrel like an underslung weapon. I paint it the same color as a meltagun barrel. Cheap and effective.
