Jack Hitchcock Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I'm a Dark Angel player, and now, with the new faq, CML are very good for us, so I decided to put some of this into my list... however I find the CML model really ugly! They look like sofa on the head of termies! So I'm searching some ideas for modelling CML in a different way... suggestions?

Prosedragon Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Make some sort of handheld missile launcher, basically a scaled up IG grenade launcher. edit: Then sell me your cyclone missile launcher, b/c I can't find one.

Jack Hitchcock Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 CML can't be handheld! I'm thinking to something similar to the inquisitor range covenant psycannon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222705-i-really-dont-like-cyclone-missile-launcher/#findComment-2662842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You could try some sort of knee launching system. Think either Fett from Star Wars.

Hyaenidae Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Just chop one of the missle pods off, and stick the remaining pod on top. No more Sofa!

Boltergeist Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 The ML from the IG Sentinel looks pretty good as a replacement. There's a skull on it that will be sideways if you don't remove it, but it fits well on top of a terminator. I have two done that way and I've received compliments on how they look. :teehee: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222705-i-really-dont-like-cyclone-missile-launcher/#findComment-2663081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Montressor Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Brother Roesor of the Black Templar subforum had the good idea of inverting assault jump packs. I've yet to see it, but I've been told it's a close fit as is, and wouldn't be too much of a stretch to work from Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222705-i-really-dont-like-cyclone-missile-launcher/#findComment-2663163 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thought about modifying it so the terminator has the launcher (either original or modified) as a backpack? Love the thought of these missiles streaking upwards before their limited machine spirit kicks in and they target the enemy.

Boltergeist Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yep, fairly thin but still looks businesslike: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...on1_873x627.jpg http://www.thewarstore.com/product47418.html I'll have to take a picture of my terminators if you want to see it on a model.

I've yet seen the photo on te GW site and i didn't understand that was the missile launcher XD You use the full missile launcher on the termies or only the front part?

Brother RedAxe Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 You could use the missile pods from Tau crisis suits or the smart missile system from a broadside or any Tau tank Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222705-i-really-dont-like-cyclone-missile-launcher/#findComment-2663623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if they were level they might obscure the model's head when looking down at it on the table.

Really really nice CML... the only problem to do like you is that I have to buy that ML from a birs site! @Brother RedAxe: IMHO the Tau ML are too not-imperial design @Brother Montressor: I've just try to invert some jet packs... not ugly but even not so beautiful... but probably this is the cheapest and faster way to have a lot of CML... i never use assault squads!

The 40k Hobbiest Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 http://www.flickr.com/photos/celloc/92343039/ He's got some missiles on his knees. It's from Exo Squad. Also, there's: http://robotoys.com/st_prod.html?p_prodid=1063 He's got missiles everywhere. Maybe you can use something like that.

Xeonic Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 That sentinel conversion looks ace, but you left one gap to be filled on the one side of the one launcher! :D The one reason I don't have cyclones on my termies is that I dislike the current launcher(conversely assault cannon are super awesome) and have been unable to find sufficient oop metal ones cheap(the old metal one looks fantastic IMO). I believe this thread has given me the inspiration I need to make my own, though I think I may trim down the sentinel launcher a bit to reduce it's profile. I was also considering using chaos havoc launchers cut in half(basically 3 missile tubes). Or possibly typhoon launchers cut in half...

Roesor Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Recently discussed this in the Templar forum a little, came up with the idea of well..basically..upside down jump packs O.o They look pretty good actually.

nurglez Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I was going through this situation, having started a logan wing about 6 months ago and needing cyclone launchers, but ordering them from bit sites is hard due to everyone wanting them. I had considered trimming/shortening the havoc launcher, but found that sticking the whole thing onto the top of a terminator actually looks pretty good, so thats what I use :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222705-i-really-dont-like-cyclone-missile-launcher/#findComment-2664572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00b in need Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Lol i just used the Death Wing Missile launcher that came with my Drop Pods for my cyclone missile launcher and it turned out pretty well, although i was forced into it because the Space Wolves' terminators box doesn't come with one. =( it turned out pretty well though and all of my fellow players think it looks pretty nice for a mandatory conversion. whatever you decide best of luck!
