PipX Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Has anyone had any successes with making modular combi-weapons for CSM Rhinos? We have access to -bolters and -flamers from the regular kit, but any ideas for how to swap out for the other options as the need arises? I was thinking of hacking the flamer barrel and tank from that side of the bit, sculpting in a flesh sack to replace the tank to be a "neutral" ammo source, then magnetising the flamer barrel, a plasma pistol bit, and a barrel made from GS and plastic rod for the Melta barrel.

lhg033 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 there is a melta option on the command tank sprue http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod770023a as you have three of the options already done you could get away with a magent to hold the two halfs together then just need to make a plasma alternative, maybe using a bolter piece with some filing and building some plasma coils and suitable front Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264577-combi-weapons-for-csm-rhinos/#findComment-3224079 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Tough one. Maybe you can come up with an idea by looking at my Combi plasmas http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...showarticle=159 ? I am sure that one could do a fitting magnetized barrel-bit that could also be swapped for the Melta and Flamer variants.

Nice. Or you could replace the combi-muzzle/barrel/snout with one of the gargoyle heads from the standard Chaos Vehicle pack. Combine that with your neutral ammo-flesh-sack idea and you've got a weapon that can count as combi-anything. I swapped the muzzle on my Havoc Champ's combi-weapon for exactly that reason: http://imageshack.us/a/img19/7955/hccu.jpg Give it a shot! I'd love to see the result. ;) Od.

I was thinking of going the gargoyle route, as it would be most convenient. I plan on having quite a few combi-weapons though, and I'm thinking it would be more game friendly, but time consuming, to have the barrel representative of the gun. Plus it would help remind me of what they are armed with while playing so I don't forget it. I got a big lot of bits from an army I bought, and it has a lot of extra flamer sides of the combi-weapon. Will probably tinker with it tomorrow so I can get this rhino fully ready for the CoC. One of the things I just noticed is that it seems that the combi-weapon is a wholly separate weapon from the CBolter that comes standard with the rhino. I might see about making a wholly separate weapon from some combined bolters without having to mess with the flamer bit. Maybe using the bits to have the gunner up with a standard looking combi-weapon taking pot shots with it from out of the hatch.

PipX Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 So here is what I came up with: http://i46.tinypic.com/aykgaf.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/33ylx6d.jpg The arm with the combi-weapon is magnetised, and his right arm is going to be pressed against the cupola to help balance him for the shot. I figure when I'm not using a combi weapon I will use a possessed arm pointing in that direction.

Urauloth Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 That's awesome. I'm considering going the tank-commander-wielding-the-combiweapon route as well. Great use of the barrel gargoyle, I've always hated those but it looks great on your combi.
