Rune Priest Ridcully Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Has anyone had any luck getting them to fit/look good on the standard heresy marine kits? I really like the shoulder mounted lascannon look, and want a squad of them in my heresy er salamanders, only thing is I still 10/15 bodies from the legion tactical squad I split with a mate last year, so was hoping to put the lascannons on them rather then having to order another 5 dudes.Failing that, does anyone know anywhere that does shoulder mounted lascannons for marines?

Grotsmasha Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's the standard backpacks that will give you problems, the HH Era Dev get special packs that don't interfer with the fit of the weapons.

Adra'Melek Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 What Mark are you using? I accidentally bought two of the heavy support squad for my Culverins, when I needed the tactical ones. They're Mark III. Edit, the FW website shows some with MkII and MkIII backpacks and they seem to fit ok, the backpack seems to be slightly rotated.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's a mix of Mk III and MK IV tactical ones, also no idea what to do with their arms..

Adra'Melek Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 There are two stances on the FW website with Mark III armour http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Legiones_Astartes/Space_Marine_Legion_Army_List/LEGION_HEAVY_SUPPORT/Legion_Heavy_Support_Squad/LEGION_LASCANNON_SET.html The Mark II/III backpacks are twisted a little bit to bring the side vent under the cannon. Or the cannon is dipped a little in front (i.e. not aiming). But these require the extra arms, which you can buy off bits sites if you really want the lascannon. Don't think I've seen any underslung ones. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287307-heresy-era-lascannons/#findComment-3604232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'm thinking my best bet would be to get the left arms off bits sites. I can't see why they released the devestor's seperate when neither they or the tacticals come with weapons, limits their use so much.

Coopervisor Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I got a pack of the MKIII heavy support squad and the lascannons. They are much easier to assemble and get things lining up. But that is down to the way the arms are. The normal or Legion armour sets would work for underslung guns (h. bolters, volkites, etc) but the shoulder mounted ones would need the specific arms for them. To note, the right arms have a slot which the tab on the gun fits, helping to line up the gun on the shoulder (the right arm and shoulder pad are one piece).
