Space Marine Scout sgt w/ Power Fist + combi-flamer

[ImperialGuardian]

Hi all, I have always wanted to use a powerfist on my space marine scout leader but have always been skeptical about how it would look and feel in the game. These guys are supposed to be stealthy and it would be somewhat awkward sneaking around with a hand that is bigger than a man's torso. Additionally, it is especially beneficial to twink them out with combi weapons and yet that is also a ginormous weapon that would impair movement.

 

I finally ended up raiding my bitz bin and came up with an elegant solution that I am very happy with:

 

Scout body: plastic scouts set

Scout left arm: half plastic scout shoulder to elbow, half old school terminator storm shield hand

Scout right arm: scout bolt pistol arm with bolt pistol cut off and hole drilled into the fist with a drill bit giving an open fist impression (cleaned finger edges with razor blade)

Scout combi weapon: shotgun in holster from the old scout bike box set with a cut up hand flamer from the blood angels death company box (love the shotgun butt because it looks like he could swing it over his shoulder more easily than a bolter)

Nice use of the storm shield arm; can't really tell it's not supposed to be there as standard. He'll provide some wallop if anything tries to assault your scouts (providing the sniper rifles and heavy bolters haven't shredded them already) What chapter R U using them for??

And, yeah, what chapter?
