Beornling 3.1415 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 anyone know how to give plastic termies extra A-cannons from bitz and for little money? Easy is apreciated show me pics!!! :lol: thanks!!! 1 cut two hexigonal pieces of flat plastic, drill holles approx 1/16" (size of a headphone jack), off spaced from the egdges of the hexigons, drill one hole dead center of each hexigon. Now take some empty useless cheap pens (you know the kind) cut the inner penworks into Seven segments, cut the pen cap on the back so that it's now an open tube. Glue the segments into the scrap plastic, glue the pencap to the bottom segment. shave off the stormbolter/heavy flamer, and glue the assembled hexigonal system to the firing port. there the cheapest easiest AC ever built.

Psykochiken Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Beornling 3.1415 that sounds like the old one(which i don't like as much). I will think about using the heavy flamer though Incendium that is just :ot: :ot: :ot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incendium Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Sorry, but I don't know how to make assault cannons either... -Incendium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Ghost Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 so a post round here the other day for a master crafted assault cannon, that might help, can't seem to find it myself now though! sorry Or you could use the redundant heavy flamer, cut the flamer section away from the arm and trigger mechanism and use plastic card rods and plastic card strips attached to the bits left on the arm to mimic the current one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psykochiken Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 That was prety much the plan ghost, just wondering if there was an easier way p.s. i forgive you Incendium :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Homer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 (1)Order a Tornado Land Speeded assault cannon bit. (2) Get the Heavy Flamer from the termi sprue (3) Cut the barrels off of the tornado assault cannon (4) Cut the flamer at the base of the three tubes leading to the nozzle (4) Pin the barrels to the remaining heavy flamer (5) GS the cracks and add whatever details you like.

Yamez Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 not great, I know, but it does the job, and if you get the pose just right, it can look pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pea Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 This is my attempt. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/Pea_666/Warhammer%2040k/Other/AssaultCannons2.jpg The arm is the heavy flamer one with most of the flamer-y bits removed and a Land Speeder Tornado (?) assault cannon attached. The ammo box is from the Imperial Guard Hellhound. I think it's called the 'Fuel Hose' or maybe pump, not sure on that one. Hope it helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pea Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 It might work. Might be a bit short though. Just try it and see if you like the result. Sorry for the late reply by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Looks pretty good, Pea. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Renn Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Check out the member named Zgar's home page. There is a link to a page of his that explains how to make your own Assault Cannon. http://bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showuser=8620 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemFX Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 There are glass beads you can get that are about 5 - 6 millimeters long, you can superglue 3 of these together and then superglue it to a heavy flamer base (I assume your talking about your terminator) You can also get 6 dark eldar guns and simply cut off the blades. These wont be very accurate looking, but the first one is very imposing on the 'field. Hell, the gun is almost as tall as the marine :rolleyes: (I'll post a pic of it when he's painted better..)

Beornling 3.1415 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 how about an anime style tribarrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ven.Dread Greatclaw Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Or you could scavenge Ebay and buy a plastic one rather cheap actually. There are lots of sellers seling bits out there. I dont know if you are allowed to recomend anyone special but search for 40K assault cannon and ebay and I bet you get at least one good hit. I bought 2 from the same guy at a really good price along with a few combi plasma and combimelta bits. A bundle of powerfists and the shipping cost from USA to sweden was acceptable so I didn't even hesitate. There are guys all over the world selling bits for a living so why not support them. They are afterall the best resource we have when after those special bits and not wanting to spend a fortune on extra sprues. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
