jbaeza94 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hey guys, i recently purchased the Legion champion mini from fw to use as my captain. I'd like him to have a Combi melta. Problem is, how do I represent it? Do i just make a green stuff sling? Or would a wrist mounted Combi weapon be doable? I was thinking using a bolter attached next to an infernus pistol side by side. Our maybe one on each hand? How would you guys model it? Any and all help appreciated.FYI, both hands on the mini are holding the sword. I'll post a picture of the mini in a few hours. edit:added picture Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 My Idea would be to take a GK storm bolter and remove half of the double-barrel and replace it with a melta barrel. Replace the double magazine with a single and maybe add some other meltalike bits. [edit]I didn't know what the Legion Champion looked like. Since all GK storm bolters are for the left wrist, that might not be such a good idea.[/edit] Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4290008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Centurion Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Combine a BA Angelus bolter with an inferno pistol from the Sanguinary Guard set, and replace any blood drops with winged swords Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4290035 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 you could go the way of Pollux maybe? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4290136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 the angelus bolter idea sounds great. if i could find a way to model the forarm to the champion, it could be very good. im a little scared of ruining the model, but hey, worse comes to worse, ill just use a different set of arms. I also like the polux idea. I'm not sure id have enough room for that unless I put one under each arm Edit:so i just put the sanguinary guard weapons on order from ebay. It came with 6 bolters and 6 power weapons just in case i ruin something. Better safe then sorry. I will try to convert one bolter into a right hand and attach a death company infernus pistol i have in my bits box . This will be my first conversion attempt of this type. Any tips for cuting up arms? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4290243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 What about your other idea? Just put a sling on a combi weapon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4290284 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyriks Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 My only critique is size - looks somewhat large, but if you're okay with that then it's not even a problem. Overall though I like it.

DavianCool Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Looks great but it's a little big. On the other hand he is a mighty Spehss Mehreen so he can basically do anything he wants Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4447722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Still smaller than the storm bolters grey knights are expected to wield in a similar way. I like it.

jbaeza94 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 On the size, a suggestion I received was to change the barrel to a combi melta barrel. I think it'll make it look a bit smaller as a whole. But I agree it is a tad large Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/318727-wrist-mounted-combi-melta/#findComment-4448173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servant of Dante Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I think it looks awesome. You should definitely leave the blood drops on the side of the bolter .
