BrainFireBob Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 My wife is teasing getting me some Phoenix Guard Terminators for the birthday. To make them 40k legal, they would want wristmounted combibolters. How is everyone doing it? GK stormbolters? What bits seller? Or conversions or shapeways?

hushrong Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 To bring my 1750 EC list I have thought about doing something similar with the Phoenix Guard to get my list to 2000 points. I was thinking of taking combi-bolters, like the plastic ones from the tartaros or cataphractii kit, and then get pistol grips from older bolters and from vehicle kits. Like a rhino comes with a storm/combi-bolter with a bit that is a handle with two pistol grips for said weapon. Remove the hand on the plastic combis and take those pistol grips, attach them, and either just glue it to the armor (maglocked) or shoulder strap them with small jewelry chain. ***Aww crap. I'm getting old and forgot you mentioned wrist mounted combis immediately after reading your post. The closest thing I had thought to do was to take, cut, and swap the EC terminators forearm for the GK one. I'm not sure how well that'd go or look. I honestly would be bummed losing the detail of the wing on the phoenix's arm and I wouldn't be too happy with a combi just stuck on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RolandTHTG Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 What about the sanguinary guard bolters. Those should be easy to mount, as I believe they're a separate piece from the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't I'm afraid. Personally I think Hushrong's method has merit, wrist mounting normal guns tends to look quite clunky in my opinion.

hushrong Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yeah, the wrist mounted weapons are part of the arm for the sanguinary guard. They wouldn't look too bad with work but I think you just end up in the same place as using the GK ones. Aside from strapping or mag-locking combi-bolters to armor another idea could be to have a servo arm mounted to the back that holds/fires the weapon. Personally I think that would be more at home on an Iron Hand or Iron Warrior but I think it's another viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Forget the servo arm, just make it another arm. The Primarch has four now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vykes Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The other potential use is just using unmodified Phoenix Guard terminators as chaos terminators with dual lightning claws (It's what I do at any rate). Other than that, yeah the Grey knights is probably as fancy as you're gonna get with the least amount of effort in trying to resize the arms for the tartaros pattern.

No Foes Remain Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You could just get two bolt pistols, glue them together, cut of the mag and glue that on the side then file it down until it can fit on the back of a gauntlet. And there you have a combi-bolter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkseren1ty Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I have 10 Phoenix termies that I did exactly this to. Well, some of them. A few I swapped out combi bolters from BoC. Some, like the models holding halberds in both hands- I put a Bolter/boltpistol and a plasmagun/plasma pistol above their head/backpiece and greenstuffed around it like fleshmetal. A couple I did the wrist mounted thing, with some having a bolt pistol on one wrist and a plasma pistol on the other. I love chaos. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
