Jolemai Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 To cut a long story short, I'm looking at converting a magna grapple for my BA Contemptor and simply sticking the one from the Furioso Dreadnought kit on top Doesn't appeal. So far I'm considering using the cyclone missile launcher as a housing and sticking the grapple parts onto to but I was wondering if anyone had came across anything more suitable from a third party source? Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323225-third-party-magna-grapple-option/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Honestly that is a pretty rad alternative! If not you could always mount the fist weapon somewhere else and pop the grapple in his hand? Scorpion style! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323225-third-party-magna-grapple-option/#findComment-4420318 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion style! I had considered that with an underslung weapon, but obtaining a magna grapple is not cheap...

Charlo Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Could be cheaper... But not bad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323225-third-party-magna-grapple-option/#findComment-4420335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I think the cyclone conversion is the best option personally; as for the grapples themselves, they look a lot like drywall/plasterboard fixings, so I'm sure you could find something that looks very similar for pennies in your local DIY store. Plus, as it's the superior Contemptor chassis, I don't think having the coiled cable spools "hidden" inside the cyclone casing is a bad thing (i.e., saves you modelling them, and it looks sleeker).

Ovidius Incertus Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 I never finished the conversion I started last summer for my Contemptor, but I was using parts from an extra BA dread box (from Deathstorm) and a regular HK missile and a searchlight from a Rhino kit. I was going to create a spool using some plastic tubing and some chain, but didn't get past the planning stage. It had the right footprint to fit on the Contemptor's carapace, although where the attachment point was located was a bit too far back. Never got around to finishing it.

Jolemai Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Cheers for the help folks. I guess I'll plough on with the cyclone conversion unless a third party grapple option or an alternative conversion arises. I never finished the conversion I started last summer for my Contemptor, but I was using parts from an extra BA dread box (from Deathstorm) and a regular HK missile and a searchlight from a Rhino kit. I was going to create a spool using some plastic tubing and some chain, but didn't get past the planning stage.

Well if you do, let us know over on the BA forum :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323225-third-party-magna-grapple-option/#findComment-4422434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
