GOFADK Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hello everyone. Does anyone have some ideas to, how to make warriors Acolytes with stormbolters? I was thinking of guardsmen, but I'm not sure if it will work with stormbolters from terminators. Some ideas, or even images?

AllistorPreist Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I was thinking of using some Necromunda figs to make SoB Preachers and confessors, they may work for Acolytes as well. The storm bolters from the marine commander sprue might be the way to go. The hand appears to be closer to guard sized.

heretic??ME?? Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Get hold of a batch of cheap old plastic terminators. (eBay em) The SB cuts very easy and is compact. Yeah Necromunda always look cool, depending on your preference WHFB plastics are a go go.

Marid Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 It looks like SOB are going to be pretty awful until they get a real codex. :D If you have some sitting on the shelf they'd make pretty cool warriors.

ValourousHeart Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 What I did to get storm bolters for my sisters was to take 2 bolt pistols and file them so they fit together smoothly. That was after trying various storm bolter & bolter bits to find the right scale. Also there is a great difference in scale between the actual SB bits. 2 bolters is larger than the immolator SB, which is bigger than the land raider SB. And the old metal GKPA model SB is smaller than the 2 pistols that I finally decided on. I have not compared it to the new GKPA SB. It ends up being just slightly smaller than the official sister SB, but doesn't look stupid if the model is holding it in one hand. Also unless you don't play imperials you should have tons of these in you bits box... Free beats EBay.

red_starrise Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 What I did was to make them from the ground up using DE bodies, arms & legs & various heads from my bitz box. I used AoBR Terminator SBs w/ the drums replaced by twin boltgun magazines & put bolter handguards in front.

vulpenie1 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 What might be a solution for you is using the old space marine biker spare bolters, they look thick enough to be called a storm bolter and fit guardsmen perfectly, but do not have 2 barrels... Will post a pic :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235624-how-to-make-alcolytes-with-stormbolters/#findComment-2842328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulpenie1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Uploaded pic :) If there were 2 barrels added at the end i think that looks like a really sensible option for a stormbolter on a guardsmen http://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i374/vulpenie1/Catachan.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235624-how-to-make-alcolytes-with-stormbolters/#findComment-2843435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Heretic Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I just love the concept of "alcolytes". I picture a force of ragtag hoboes, shooting wildly with large caliber weapons :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/235624-how-to-make-alcolytes-with-stormbolters/#findComment-2844219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
