Paulochromis Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Want to equip a couple of Havoc Aspiring Champions with Combi-bolters. They are hanging back, and it gives them a slightly better RoF than a simple bolter, for a reasonable price. Problem is what "bit" to use. The Chaos terminators box has some combi-weapons, but that's about it. I might have some spare Angelus boltguns (from the Sanguinary Guard box), but not convinced they visually convey double shot. And not particularly keen on wrist-mount (so Grey Knight also unappealing). Could try to chaos-ify some loyalist stormbolters, what's the best source? Looking for any constructive ideas! (Not above going 3rd party) Cheers, Paul. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350746-chaos-havocs-aspiring-champion-pa-combi-bolter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Reaper Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Kromlech have some lovely combi-bolters.Twin "thunder gun"https://bitsofwar.com/home/803-legionary-twin-thunder-gun.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350746-chaos-havocs-aspiring-champion-pa-combi-bolter/#findComment-5177697 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Model them with a bolter in each hand. Convert pintle mount combibolters from the vehicle kits. Use stormbolters, but mount the vehicle kit gargoyle muzzle brakes to Chaosify them.

Subtle Discord Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Sand the left and right side of two basic bolters flat on a sanding block and then fuse them together into a Combi.

micahwc Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I bought a set of combi-weapons from eBay that look remarkably like the forgeworld MK3 and MK4 combi-weapons. They were cheap, the resin seems better than most I've worked with in the past, and they look the part for chaos marines fighting the long war.

Paradigm Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I think evilcraft has some great, but expensive combi-bolters. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350746-chaos-havocs-aspiring-champion-pa-combi-bolter/#findComment-5178210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreaterChickenofTzeentch Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Cataphractii combis are good. Bolter in each hand is good Second the Cataphractii. Tartaros combis are readily available from bits sellers and also look great on a normal sized marine.

Paulochromis Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Thanks for the advice guys (gals?). Have two squads, so I think I will go for one champ toting two bolters, and probably use a modified-loyalist stormbolter for the other.

BrainFireBob Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Evilcraft- flat out great, but if you are popping that kind of money, get the combiplasmas.

Paulochromis Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 The combi-weapons other than the combi-bolter are too many points.

Panzer Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Points change even within the edition. That's not exactly the point tho. They are too expensive for the Sergeant because he's not going to actively use those weapons at their optimal range. He'll stand way back with his Havoc buddies and only pling away with his Bolter because he has nothing better to do. Why take a combi weapon at all then? Because the combi-bolter costs basically nothing. Combi-plasma etc. will always cost a lot more just because of the plasma part.

Trevak Dal Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Another thing to try if you are crafty with a blade is to take two bolters and shave down a side on each and glue them together.

Quixus Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Use stormbolters, but mount the vehicle kit gargoyle muzzle brakes to Chaosify them. I think those would sell like hot cakes. Now where do I get the muzzle brakes? Oh right the chaos predator/land raider is GW only.

Paulochromis Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Here you go: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Alpha-Legion-Head-Hunter-Kill-Team-Upgrade-Set VERY nice. Bit steep for just the combi-bolters, but might be able to find a use for many of the other bits, eventually Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350746-chaos-havocs-aspiring-champion-pa-combi-bolter/#findComment-5183568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
