MakoBoy88 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hi Gang, Has anyone had any success in scratch building Quad Heavy Bolters? Maybe from Razorback Tirrets etc?

Thudslugx Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 A Friend of my did a Conversion for his iron Warrior but I don't have a picture Jet. So I know he use the Taurox Prime Chains and turned this arround. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xhk5nl3TWOk/VDrhhxArKpI/AAAAAAAAB1c/zR3FOgl2DD8/s280/image1.JPG And he use the Arm of the Chaos Forgefiend. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99120102049_CSMForgefiendRepack01.jpg And It locks not bad.

Frater Cornelius Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Actually, Thunderfire Cannons work pretty well, although if you are going to buy yourself a TFC and acquire some HB, you might as well buy the real deal. Other than that, you could use the track of the Taurox ane combine it with some sort of gun where you can slap the HB on.

MakoBoy88 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Taurus tracks seem a little large? Was thinking the base unit from a Mechanicum Kataphract thing, plus a razorback doubled up turret. Something like that?

Brother Dallo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've been looking at the track units of the kataphron battle servitors to convert some rapiers, and maybe use the centurion heavy bolters? Hope this is helpful. Dallo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4370690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I planned to use the kataphron tracks (I already have them, but not assembled yet), and stack the double heavy bolters from the old ravenwing upgrade sprue (the HBs to convert Sammael's landspeeder). I just have enough of them to do one rapier, but if it is practical, I might search for more of hem.

Charlo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I planned out some quad Mortars for my 40k BA with Kataphron tracks and various Guard Heavy weapon bits: Lascannons with muzzles cut off and replaced with missile launcher ends. Two mortars under. http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Snapchat-8554080265276445243_zpsza5ibz4x.jpg http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Snapchat-1659259994849232323_zpslpnr1ojj.jpg http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/Snapchat-3094398761617981831_zpsoe4j4mk8.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4370748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Fairly cheap and easy to produce too. Maybe I'll get the bits to finish them for the ETL.

Charlo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks guys you can see more of my mad units in my BA thread in my sig. How about 9 hand flamers on 5 Vanguard Vets? #ShamelessPlug Thinking I wanted to start Imperial Guard when I was a kid paid off! I'll be sure to post the Quads when they are complete here.

Elzender Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 So, I decided to give my idea a go, here you have a rushed white-tac assembly (lacking pieces and details that I'll have to add or create, but you get the idea): http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/Risollano/9ea781c2-bfa5-4371-bf2d-d9d9e222ff1f_zpsb160duk5.jpg Actually, I want to magnetize the weapon options to swap them and be able to choose, so here you have a graviton cannon (made with weapons from the kataphron kit): http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/Risollano/52dafe3f-d429-403a-81bf-20f1502b0fc9_zpssomb2w0u.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4371287 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaeron Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Some excellent examples there brothers! I've intended to do the same when my Kataphrons arrive for Quad Mortars, I'm thinking of using plastic tubing for the barrels currently. Thanks for the inspiration - will post what I come up with...

Charlo Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Bonus! For my DG I got these, I figure they seem like the sort of thing that would rapid fire Barrage Phosphex all over the enemy: http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah177/nevscorner/20160410_152240_zpsh2bgnhnf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4371732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Glad you like it guys! Yasss. Yyyyaaaassss!That looks so good. And easy to make. Love it. What did you use? Tracks from the Kataphron breachers/destroyers, heavy bolters from the Ravenwing upgrade sprue, and the graviton cannon is a mix of the grav cannon and the torsion cannon (later I'll upload a picture to show how to do the conversion) Bulbafist, where did you get the RW heavy bolters? I might need some more to make three rapiers EDIT: here you have the schematic on the grav cannon conversion, it is simple but the result is pretty cool in my opinion http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/Risollano/43e747d2-64d5-4e8f-aa5c-282f659d7224_zpswkwspkot.jpg http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w490/Risollano/64e34738-b489-4938-a5f2-2a2f66751271_zpsrneivhkz.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4371773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakoBoy88 Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Could the Kataphract track bottom fit into it a razorback turret? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4372113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elzender Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Could the Kataphract track bottom fit into it a razorback turret? Right now I don't have a razorback turret at hand, but the tracks come in two parts, so I guess you can simply separate them a bit to make it fit, and then you fill the gaps with gs or plasticard. Maybe tomorrow I can find where I parked my razorback and test it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/321644-scratch-builds-rapier-quad-bolters/#findComment-4372329 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine7312000 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Anyone know the size of the tracks on the rapier model? I'm thinking the tracks from http://anvilindustry.co.uk/AFTERLIFE/Republic-Taurus-Gun-Tractors?sort=p.price&order=ASC&limit=50 will work nicely.

Da Once & Future Git Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I've made my Laser Destroyer Rapiers for my Emperor's Children flying! The model is basically a kit-bash of the Necron Destroyer and the Icarus stormcannon components from the stalker kit. Here's a pic! http://i419.photobucket.com/albums/pp271/Da_Git/Laser%20Destroyer%20Rapier.jpg What are you guys using to make the crew more well, crew-like? Auspexs? scanners? etc...
