PeteySödes Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Has anyone found a decent source for non-TDA storm bolters? I generally find the older official GW ones to be scaled poorly for PA. I done some research but haven't found any that struck y fancy. About the closest I've come were the "Rapfire-TB2D" from shapeways. Im looking to complete some wolf guard with storm bolters so i need ~10-15 Has anyone found any they liked?

bloodhound23 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Just to clarify: you don't like the ones from the Devastator, Vanguard or old Commander boxes? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345984-storm-bolters/#findComment-5049395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 The dev one isn't bad, I hadn't seen the vanguard ones, being a wolf. They just look really unwieldy on PA and dominate the model size wise.

Major_Gilbear Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I think you mean the Sternguard, not the Vanguard? Either way, the only other source I can think of would be old 2nd edition models - the old Terminators are not too far off the newer plastic power armour models in size, and the old 2E Space Hulk plastic Terminators go for a song on ebay. Beyond that, you have the Grey Knight power armour ones... Although I really don't like the ammo feeds on those (they add more clunkiness to an already bulky-looking weapon).

PeteySödes Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 I actually made two models with the wrist mounted ones from the GK kit! I thought they would mesh well with Logan Grimnars look since (i think) he was the first with that model. I didnt like it it though, maybe im too picky. I'm making my WG with the mk. III armor primarily and maybe its just an issue with that. Seems like the issue is probably just with me. In previous editions or with chaos, Combi-bolters (twin) acted the same as SB. Would there be an issue using these as counts as SB? https://www.shapeways.com/product/L7T6GJ7CS/10x-rapfire-tb2d?optionId=60193385 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345984-storm-bolters/#findComment-5049415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-DE/Alpha-Legion-Head-Hunter-Kill-Team-Upgrade-Set Are you after something aloong these lines? Otherwise I quite like using the cataphractii combi bolters or the tartaros ones are not too bad, but a tad big. Think the cata combi's are a wee bit more compact. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-DE/Cataphractii-Power-Axe-Set https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-DE/Legion-Tartaros-Terminator-Power-Axe-Set Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345984-storm-bolters/#findComment-5049431 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hell yea Dantay thanks, I knew FW made the straight combi-bolters somewhere. I have the legion combi-weapon set they make and they look nice so that may work well if i can find a source for just the guns.

bloodhound23 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I did mean Sternguard. Just my two cents- I really like those Alpha Legion ones. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345984-storm-bolters/#findComment-5049441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yea same, especially since i have a heresy 'spoils to the victor' theme for my wolf guard. Utilizing/inheriting the storied gear from the legions past.

Quixus Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 What about the GK storm bolters?Anvil Industry's Double Tap Carbine isn't that big either, but I don't know how suitable they are for two-handed use.

Dantay VI Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I think I used that Anvil one on the the forearm of my Logan model!! FPS, buy te Alpha kit and use the leftover bits as traitor corpses.....

lfhoule Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lol too rich for my blood for just bolters Have you thought of making your own? If you have a few bolt pistols from various kits (the ones not in holsters) laying about, you can glue two pistols together (shaving the plastic down where they will join), and fill the gaps with green stuff, and you get a decent looking storm bolter. Made one up for one of my Blood Angel sarges, and it looks pretty good.

binary Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I’ve used the regular bolters form the sternguard set (as they have funky ammo boxes and look more ornate) then just cut the barrel off, lowered it and added a barrel from a spare bolter above it. Gives it the “over/under” look that I call the “Headhunter pattern storm bolter” Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345984-storm-bolters/#findComment-5050176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
