Raziellycas Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Heil brothers I need your help for a conversion that I want make... I would add a marine with an Eviscerator (chainsword from malicant inquisitor model) to my army but I'm a bit in trouble with the two handed position on the sword.. there is somewhere a tutorial or something similar where I can get inspiration? I like to make something like the two handed emperor champion... well thanks to all ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90667-two-handed-sword/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykochiken Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 i did this with a marine holding the sword in front of himself centered use a ML arm, any fisted hand and a bolter arm some green stuff positioning may be required. the hands should lay flat along the torso one on top of the other then place the sword on the top. hope that is a good enough explanation. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90667-two-handed-sword/#findComment-1042902 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks333 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 ***the best thign for an eviscerator without building your own is a chaos marines chainswords, it has the chain on both sides as to positiong, it should be around his chest, just cut arms at the joints(so elbow/maybe wrist/shoulder) and any gaps fill with greenstuff best thing if the arm is repositioned big time, is to pin it together Im actually in the process of doing this conversion oddly enough, i just got the chainsword yesterday, and been working on some other things before i go back Starks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90667-two-handed-sword/#findComment-1043086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImRuined Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Khorne Berserker Chainswords also would make for an effective Eviscerator as they are somewhat bulkier than any other Chainsword I have seen... Not double sided as previously said, but definately larger...

Callas Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 The =I= chain weapons booster pack has some lovely examples of the breed - the curved saber in particular if you want something a little different in terms of looks.

Penitent Dreadnought Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I would add a marine with an Eviscerator (chainsword from malicant inquisitor model) to my army Is tending the Fortress Monastery grounds that bad? In all seriousness, is there an actual purpose to this conversion besides cool factor? A fluff reason perhaps? In any case, unless you'd like to buy an Emperor's Champion model and do a simple blade swap, I'd suggest the Land Speeder/Vehicle Crewman gunner's arms. They're the closest to a normal positioning of arms in front of the Marine's chest as you're going to get.

Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 it depends on how long you want the hilt to be- for a seriously long hilt, you can use biker arms, with the hands cut and repositioned. combine it with an evocatively twisted torso, and you have the eviscerator carrying marine from the front of the codex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90667-two-handed-sword/#findComment-1043669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolliIronbear Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 For my two handed chainsword, i used the right bolter arm, the right arm that held a chainsword (all right arms in the h2h set are bent) and two chainswords spliced together +the lefthand that originally held the chainsword. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/BTSB2Front.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Nokarot/Kolli%20Stuff/BTSB2Back.jpg Sorry that this message is kinda scrambled, i have 4 minutes before work.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I'm planning on doing one of these for my Space Sharks Captain. I will be using it as a "counts-as" master-crafted chainfist. :P Does anyone know how big the Inquistor range chainswords are in relation to a terminator figure? (pics would be nice if available.)

Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 They are approximately the same size as a terminator. No pics, I'm afraid, as this size comparison comes from memory- a member of our local group has a couple of them as eviscerators on his daemonhunters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90667-two-handed-sword/#findComment-1043783 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KolliIronbear Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Errm. Sorry for the confusion i caused by my previous post. Bitz list: 1-right bolter arm 1-right chainsword arm 1-left chainsword arm 1-frag grenade hand (optional). Alright, what you want to do right off the bat is chop the right chainsword hand from the arm. Next, if you want to make a long chainsword, you'll want to slice the left chainsword near the top. Then cut the other chainsword near the middle and attach it to the rest of the blade. With a little gs, you can hide the seam rather easily. Next, take the right-chainsword arm (now thouroughly dehandified) and cut it just below where you would normally glue the shoulder pad, and flip it around. Now for the right bolter arm. Cut the hand off. Now, right here you have two choices. 1) You can trim the right hand that originally held the chainsword so there is no fingerguard OR 2) You can cut the primer pin and the pin ring from the frag grenade hand and use it. The advantage with the frag hand is that you don't do any damage to the fingers. It also happens to be what I did to make my bt. Now, since you've done all this stuff, you can blu-tac and fine tune the position the model as you like, then glue everything in place. I think that's about it.
