**BROKEN SCOPE**

Fancy, will definetly be using this next time i get some marines.

**SkavenPlayer**

looks great and simple i wanna try this too

**TheTrueProtoman**

I will say this tutorial is awesome, and I have done this to 2 different marines. And the results are great, I also noticed on my second attempt that if you cut more of the joints apart on the arms you can reposition everything about how they aim. This is a great tutorial thread for aiming and helps your get your own ideas for what you can do.

**Limbo**

Awesome! Love the conversion, and thanks for the helm tip, been looking around for heads like that

**Lazarus the Necrotic**

i love it!

i'm tired of the stupid " shooting off the hip" stuff... and your conversion is just easy enough, i just might do it!

BTW currently my favorite Helm to give aspiring champions is the normal AsChamp Head but with the horns lopped off

**StarGate**

Nice work, I need to do that with a lot of my AOBR marines( i have lots of extra arm)

**=I= White-Wolf**

Nice i like hor he actually looks like he's shooting someone rather then just pointing his gone in a random direction

**Bramnero**

Awesome, looks good, i might try this with a guardian or a DA

**primeministersinister**

This is brilliant.
How much money should I take out of my wallet and give you?

**ZacktheChaosChild**

Great tutorial!

**DarkAngelsRK**

Wow, thanks! I've always hated how my marines never look ready to fight.

**KenStorm989**

Nice tutorial, i really like that look too!

**primeministersinister**

Love! Love! It's fan-dakka-tastic!

Anyone need this? I've done it my first cadian shock troops sprue ever. It's amazingly easy, so I'm not sure if it needs a guide.

**kravus master of Horus**

nice

**Robed_Chaplain**

Woah! This would look so cool with a sniper rifle!!!

**Sveinn Shieldsbane**

As if I didn't have enough problems with assembling bolter marines lol.

very cool, hope to do this with my next 10 man squad now.
Thank you for the Tutorial,

**Black Corsair**

Yeah! that's great, its true that simplicity can make the best results... i will take note of all... at last my thousands of CSM and SM arms will serve for something!!

**cosmic pixie**

Nice

**Ruzto**

Works with IG also. Great thanks.

**foor301**

Can you make a simpler 1 i cut my space marines to pieces admittedly it was all ready glued painted and thrown from a canon and i was cutting it with a drem,memel

**Gitsplitta**

Great conversion!

I tried something similar using an original plastic beakie and a bolt gun modified to look like a sniper rifle. Don't want to hijack your thread with my pic, but if anyone's interested... here's the link. The model isn't finished being painted at this point, but these are the best shots of the firing position conversion.
