The Bolter Conversion Thread


Recommended Posts

Great Idea on redoing this thread, flying hippo. I also have been doing searches on bolter conversions. And its a shame that alot of those previous links are lost. There were some seriously great ideas shown there. Although you've hit on alot as well :P

 

Do you think that this post would be best on the tutorial section? This is more like a finished bolter idea thread in my mind ;)

Sorry, that took longer than I expected. Some of the pics have been updated. The other ones were at the time of pictures taken still WIP and un-high-lighted (my raptors sorta got put on hold). I have since finished them but I have yet to take some pics of them. I will try to get them up as soon as school allows.

 

Keep submitting your conversions.

There used to be a number of other alternate bolter pics floating around. A couple of under arm styles, one I have in my ideas folder by theripper_42. Nidlimpopo also had a number of different styles, although all save one were done up in a drawing program, but they were very good. I also seem to remember a picture with about 10 or so variants that had actually been modeled, but I don't seem to have saved it to my hard drive and I don't know where it got to.

A guy named vega also had a number. I don't know where they are on B&C but I have most of these on my hard drive.

Well, this isn't a bolter conversion, but I thought I'd post it here nonetheless for those of you that haven't seen it on my army thread.

As you can probably guess, the green thing is one of the green necron things - cut down to fit. Also, if you do intend to use this conversion, paint first, then glue it in (duh :tu: ). That'd be impossible to paint around.

wokkers, how did you do the drum magazine on that bolter?

 

It looks like a grenade drum from the IG grenade launcher. Looks good, I might try it myself too. I have a ton of those things just laying around.

 

bing! Psychologic gets the cookie! :huh:

 

fairly simple and self explanitory conversion. its easy and it looks good.

Hi Spikey James,

 

On the picture of your bolters, looking the 2 with the straight mag at the top, where do you get the part on top of the wooden foregrip ?

 

Your bolters look very good - I've placed an order on grenade launchers, and I'll try to replicate you bull up option.

It looks like you're using the autopistol from the assault weapons sprue, is that right ?

 

 

Anyway, here's an idea I had some time ago for a "sniper" bolter, to be used by the combat squad that stays with the heavy weapon to shoot from a distance :

Just glued the stock and barrel of a lasgun - some trimming needed to make a smooth transition and all, but the spirit is there...

 

I thought I'd also point you to some excellent bolter and stormbolter conversions by Lord Magyar.

 

 

Cheers,

Fumble.
