Erasmus of Baal Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 It's entirely possible that this has been asked before and my search-fu is weak, but I don't know what to do with those handled canisters that are apparently meltabombs. Are these actually meltabombs? Where do they go on a model? Is there some other way that meltabombs are normally modelled, or are they normally ignored? Before it's asked: I'm wondering because of Vanguard Veterans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 If they came in the Assault Squad box, yes, they're meltabombs. If they came in the Devastator box, they're supposed to be ammo boxes/cans/cylinders, but can reliably be used as meltabombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Most people cut off part of the handle and shove it into a grippy arm. Like I did for my deathwatch. http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo234/shortsonfire80/IMG_1378.jpg I've seen that it works better on guard because thy have smaller hands. Just file down the handle a bit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assault box. I have other plans for the plasma cannon ammo. :lol: Most people cut off part of the handle and shove it into a grippy arm. Like I did for my deathwatch. See, the problem with that is that I was hoping to model these onto Vanguard Veterans--they have their hands pretty full with other weapons. Has anyone seen meltabombs hung from a belt with success?

Lord_Halrian Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Yes but youll need to green stuff, a strap or the like onto the meltabomb to the waist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then since Vanguard come with some arms in 2 pieces, just glue a different arm on. Or chop an arm off, or take a pistol out of a hand. But you have actually given me a genius idea, thanks :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I tend to hang them in the space between the jump pack and the marine's back. It looks great and gives me the picture of marines flying over a target, dropping bombs as they go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Magnetically clamped to the marine's armor? Perhaps mounted high up on the thigh with the bomb on its side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImperialReaper Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 This is how I do my meltabombs. For Vanguards I recommend the left sollution if the have a jumppack. If necessary I would just put it on the base. I have seen a few models from a a WW2 table top. A Commander had some kind of Flagg in both hands - but was rulewise also armed with an mp40. The mp was on the base in a weapons box . This can look quite cool if your base is nicely desigend. Usually the bases of out models are quite small - but it should work for a small meltabomb. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_CU7YTj9NBSs/TP6TTrux3-I/AAAAAAAAADY/xTETFIbBvvs/s912/IMG_2087.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
