minionboy Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hey guys, I made a post over in the WiP section, showing off some of the new Forgeworld autocannons mounted on some plastic CSM bodies, thought you'd like to check it out! http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=267616 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267617-chaos-havocs-with-autocannons/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hmm, could definitely see some benefit to ordering a set of those. The metal autocannons are wretched and I don't want to have to chop up reapers for kitbashes.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 And I just did a fw order........ may try and get some for my birthday in may, may be able to afford it by then :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267617-chaos-havocs-with-autocannons/#findComment-3260234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Just going to point out that the bitz store is selling attack squads for £8 right now, so with the FW cannons that's £20 (+ postage) for a full set of havocs. About the same cost as a dev squad, but with more of the gun you want.

Moress Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Those are nice. I've been using the stubber bits from IG tank sprues and putting them on chaos/loyalist heavy bolters after i cut off the original bolters. Works for a broke ass like me haha.

Brother Ambroz Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I just use assault cannon barrels on chaos/loyalist heavy bolters. That works great for me.

Sception Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 These look very nice. I may have to look into picking some up - I'm not too happy with my own autocannons.

Lepaca Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Argh, damn you Forgeworld! They released these the day after I had finished scrap-building my own autocannons.

minionboy Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 Argh, damn you Forgeworld!They released these the day after I had finished scrap-building my own autocannons. Haha, tell me about it! These forgeworld autocannons came out the day I received the 8 ork big shootas I was going to use to convert my autocannons. Oh well, I'm actually quite satisfied with my purchase, they look phenomenal. Oh, here's a preview of my painted Red Corsairs for those interested: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8340/8269631369_30f3ef09f2_z.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/267617-chaos-havocs-with-autocannons/#findComment-3260590 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Haha yeah I'd just gotten a bunch of ebay bitz to kitbash my own cannons the day before these came out too. That's a neat looking corsair, good mix of kits in there too by the looks of it.

Lieutenant Steel Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 The FW Autocannons look very tasty but I prefer them for the ammo feeds and back pack additions more than the barrels. Previously I had scratch built some with Ork Shootas- take 2 of the cylindrical ones, remove the muzzle from one, line up the grooves and rivets and away you go. You can also use the Shoota with a box magazine as the one being held in the models hands, as long as you double up on the same barrel it will still look reasonable.

Offswitch Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I really don't like the way they hold those guns. Everything else about them is cool but I would need to change that grip.
