Shyft Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I'm planning on getting a box of new plastic Grey Knights soon, Terminators or GKSS I dunno yet, but in either case, I'm not a big fan of the box-magazine fed stormbolters, so I wanted to figure out some options as to how to convert them into belt-fed hotness. I have the following suggestions from other sources, and I avail myself to this fine forum's expertise: Idea 1: Make it scratch out of Greenstuff. Pro: Great deal of control Con: Probably is going to use more GS than I'm comfortable with. Idea 2: find heavy bolter parts from space marine devastators and mount them against the stormbolter housing/backpack. Pro: Plastic comes well detailed, easy to figure out. Con: Hard to find in-bulk without buying a box of Devastators Con: Belt may be too wide to fit the storm bolter ammo feed and look good. That's all I got. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Stolid Fox Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 There's a really interesting belt-fed combiplasma that comes with the Terminator Librarian; you could take a look at that and maybe do some greenstuffing/converting with a plain storm bolter and then cast it if you need a bunch.

Shyft Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 I wouldn't know the first thing about casting, to be quite honest, I'd love to say i'm one hell of a conversion artist, but my GK army isn't even fully painted. It's worth mentioning though, I'll keep it in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venerable Jazzman Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 IIRC the Chaos Marines have a bunch of loose belt feeds for their bolters, might be worth looking at as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 IIRC the Chaos Marines have a bunch of loose belt feeds for their bolters, might be worth looking at as an option. I've repositioned the belts on CSM bolt pistols to turn them into belt fed wrist-mounted twin-linked bolters for two Chaos Terminators. The belts are easy to cut off and reposition, and can be had readily from a bitz site. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j91/montismo/terminator-001-front.jpg You can get the more curved belts from the CSM bolt pistols and more straight belts from the CSM boltguns.

Shyft Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 when I say belt fed, i do mean more like how Devastator Heavy Bolters work, just not that huge of a belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 when I say belt fed, i do mean more like how Devastator Heavy Bolters work, just not that huge of a belt. You mean with the enclosed feed instead of loose belts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperDave Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Why not just buy the old metal GK models? They were all belt fed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shyft Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 mostly because i like how customizable the new models are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
