SystmOveRide Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 So, I was wondering, how do most people get a lascannon for a chaos marine squad these days? There's the whole Iron Warriors upgrade sprue but thats a bit much for what I'll use, and the standard Space Marine one has the whole backpack and everything attached to it.Forge World is a bit expensive to get legion lascannon sets since I only want one, so what do most people do? Maybe I'll just have to chop up a normal Space Marine one in the end.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rasclomalum Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'd use SM devastators. Then you get Heavy Bolters and Missile Launchers too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4121329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystmOveRide Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Looks like I need to find a Lascannon from the dev sprue. No point me buying the whole kit as I wont ever use any of the other parts really.

Kilofix Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I attached a straw to a Bolter then attach a one of those Warp Flame Dragon heads from the Chaos vehicle sprue to it. Edit - the ammo hopper is from the Grey Knight or the IG Heavy Weapon kit, I forget which Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4121378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Héléade Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Did you check Ebay ?There is a lot of lascannons available for cheap. And this is very useful to avoid to buy a whole devastator box.Thus there is a link : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/D2V58-CANON-LASER-DEVASTATOR-SPACE-MARINE-WARHAMMER-40000-BITZ-W40K-57-59-63-64-/131543493975?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_71&hash=item1ea09a6d57 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4121571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystmOveRide Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah I checked ebay, unfortunately being in Aus anything warhammer related costs a lot regardless :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4121905 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Héléade Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Did you try to make a lascannon with platicard, refill and green stuff ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4122215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian seller, no idea what he's like cos I'm a Brit http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/40K-Space-Marine-Devastator-LASCANNON-/400949921977?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item5d5a7a48b9 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4122235 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Héléade Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think you have a choice to make. You spend money : get a box or bitz on Ebay. Or you spend time, green stuff and a litte elbow grease. I see no other solution. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4122319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 That's pretty much the going rate everywhere. ~£4.50 delivered from UK bitz sellers. Why don't you just buy a box of Devastators and put the bitz you don't need on eBay yourself? You can probably get close to covering your costs with the grav-cannons alone. In the UK they're going for easily twice the price of other heavy weapons.

That may end up being the way to go then, I mean i know grav cannons are meant to be amazing but I didn't notice they were that amazing :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4122336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucien Eilam Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The major risk is that you find it difficult to part with some of the components. The reinforced leg armour and helmets with targeters would look great on Iron Warriors, for example, the weaponless hands are fantastic for conversions, most of the torsos are pre-Mk VII (i.e. no Aquila, will work for Chaos), and so on. But if you can get $10 apiece for the multi-meltas and plasma cannons, and $20 for the grav-cannons, you're at $80 already. Anything else is a bonus (or will cover your eBay fees/postage, anyway).

SystmOveRide Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I may need to look around a bit more, in Aus at least it seems I can get roughlt $10 per multi-melta, but only about $4 for a plasma cannon, and can't find any listings for grav cannons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/311043-chaos-lascannon/#findComment-4122426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
