Rasclomalum Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 How would you model one? Could I get away with a GK psycannon? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306854-conversion-beamers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandwen Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The actial models have a large heat sink with a radardish like thing up front. Its a little unique, but as long as whatever you use to build it is noticeably different from the rest of your models you should be ok.

Gurth Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I'd model one like this: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306854-conversion-beamers/#findComment-4024329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I bought one of those space crusade ones on fleabay. My goodness it was expensive. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306854-conversion-beamers/#findComment-4024350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I bought one of those space crusade ones on fleabay. My goodness it was expensive. I got one in a random bitz collection I bought, and then promptly sold it onward as it looked a little weedy for my tastes.

Aias Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Personally, when I made a Master of Forge on Bike I used the Conversion Beamer that comes with the Deimos Executioner, since I had it as extra. Forgot until I was building it that it was a Heavy conversion beamer, though the plate for mounting it on the turret matched up almost perfectly with the base of the sidecar. I just had to use greenstuff to make a side plate to hide the guy's legs, and then formed a targeting panel on top to link up with the guy's hands and make it look like he was actually manning the weapon. I smoothed things out more after this pic was taken (not a master of the greenstuff, sure dozens of people here could do better), but I'm rather happy with the results.

Grotsmasha Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 You could just get one from a Contemptor arm. Cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306854-conversion-beamers/#findComment-4024710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 For a Marine scale model, the Contemptor arm might be a bit large. Even though he's twice the cost, Valthex Astral Claws Master of the Forge would be better scaled.

FashaTheDog Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I have two of the below official, if old, model. One is going on a Techmarine and the other I am unsure of as of yet, but it will find a model. http://s2.postimg.org/i31qtxh21/conversion_beamer.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306854-conversion-beamers/#findComment-4024874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 I bought one of those space crusade ones on fleabay. My goodness it was expensive.I’ve got three, all from the original Space Crusade expansion they came in, bought new As I didn’t want to stick them permanently to a model I decided to scratchbuild a copy some years ago. It seems my effort’s been surpassed by GW reinventing the weapon, though.
