Dr von Hohenheim Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hello, I'm wondering how best to represent a conversion beamer (for a xenos inquisitor/techmarine). I'd love to hear any ideas and see any pictures! Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237342-conversion-beamer-ideas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty1109 Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I used leftover predator lascannon sponsons for mine (any excuse to show him off lol!): Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237342-conversion-beamer-ideas/#findComment-2861872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
staxer Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I got two from Chapter House Studios one for my Grey Knights and one for my Ultramarine Master of the Forge. Unfortnately I don't have any pictures to hand. They are resin and are well cast. You also get a servo arm and a choice of back packs.

Gurth Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Click for my effort and explanation of how I made one. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237342-conversion-beamer-ideas/#findComment-2862333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcher in the Dark Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Really like Gurth's conversion. :D I will model mine with a vast array of cables connecting the techmarine to the weapon itself. I want it to look very archaic and unrecognizable, compared to other weapons in the SM arsenal. I've toyed with the idea of making it very big so that the techmarine will be using the servo harness to carry it effectively (for WYSIWYG purposes, he will be unable to use his harness in a conventional sense as he is carrying the weapon with it, and so cannot benefit from the servo harness itself).

Grotsmasha Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You could hold out a couple more weeks and wait for Forgeworlds Contemptor version.

PanzerSmurf Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yes it is. Saw pics of it floating around. Appears to also have a graviton gun-thingie.

Brother Anvilus Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Made mine using the techmarine from the Thunderfire Cannon.Chopped up the servo harness ( cut away the upper attachments and just attached 2 servo arms that go over the top to the bottom attachments ) and on said servo arms I just placed 2 old Conversion beamers that I bought on Ebay.Looks great as he's looking up a little with an targetter in his hands.

ShinyRhino Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I went with a Tesla-coil look: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z43/goalie20/Warhammer%2040K/MotF/motfcomplete01.jpg the gun itself started life as a Reaper Autocannon.

Dr von Hohenheim Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Great ideas guys! Thanks for the input. I think I might use the imperial guard enginseer as a base, and put the conversion beamer on his servo arm.

Ramell Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Forge World is working on a Techmarine special character from one of the Badab War books. He has a Conversion Beamer on his backpack, Servo-Arm style. I've got no idea when it's released though.

Ironwrought Huw Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I really like seeing everyone else's version of the beamer. Armanneus Valthex is the character FW are releasing that Ramell metioned. They suggested last month that it would probably come out around the middle of September. Chapter House studios do a nice kit, true the the rogue trader design of the C-Beamer. This is my attempt at a conversion beamer. I just went with whatever technical gubbins bits I could find in my bitz box. http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l545/Huberticus66/P1011632.jpg Side photo - http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/l545/H...66/P1011595.jpg Started life as a termi assault cannon, the back of a techmarine plasma cutter and a few random parts from a landspeeder.

rusty1109 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I really want to do a show your MOTF thread now, think it will be popular enough to bother?
