LutherMax Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I'm looking for a couple of bits for a conversion - anyone know of any kits that have a sheathed sword and an empty pistol holster? Preferably loyalist marines but can be Chaos if iconography isn't too overt... Thanks in advance!

sockwithaticket Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The Mk. IV and III plastics have empty psitol holsters. You can usually find empty FW holsters on the ebay bits stores that deal in FW. Of course if you've got any of the old style plastic ones they're very easy to trim down:Sevrin Loth Honour Guard kit has a sheathed sword that tends to be fairly prevalent in the ebay bits stores too (3 or 4 for £1 is definitely something I've seen).

Harrowmaster Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The space marine sternguard set has a sheathed sword, albeit one that has an arm attached Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330643-sheathed-sword-empty-holster/#findComment-4646043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Gilbear Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Since the only difference between an empty holster and a holstered boltpistol is the grip and the back of the gin, can you not just trim these off a holstered weapon? Seems like a very easy trim with a knife: http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/horus_heresy_mkiv_tactical_pistol_holster_1_large.JPGhttp://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/space_marine_tactical_2013_pistol_holster_large.jpg Obviously there may be a special reason behind not wanting to do that, in which case fair enough. Otherwise, it seems like a very easy and economical thing to accomplish with bits you likely already have (unless you don't of course! :P). Beyond that, the only empty holster I know is in the Mk4 Tactical kit, and the only sheathed swords I know are in the Sternguard Veteran kit and on the Black Templar Upgrade sprue. However, there is also a decent-looking sheathed sword in the Stormcast Liberators kit which may serve you: http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/images/stormcast_eternals_liberators_scabbard_large.JPG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330643-sheathed-sword-empty-holster/#findComment-4646115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherMax Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks guys! Good point about the holster - I can certainly trim one, or indeed use a MKIV as I have B@C. I also have the Sternguard kit so will look into trimming that, otherwise I'll look into the others suggested here. Thanks!
