Hi guys, I'm thinking about including 3 servitors with Plasma Cannons as part of a GK Henchmen Warband.

Has anybody done this before or have ideas of where to get parts for the models?
GW only seems to sell servitors in the Techmarine pack anymore, if I can't find servitors on Ebay, I'm happy enough to just buy that.

Pretty sure Ebay will have some stuff though

The harder part seems to be finding Plasma Cannons. Does anybody know some compatible models where I could get 3 plasma cannons? (hopefully without having to buy a SM devastator squad!). What other models have Plasma Cannons?

edit: after looking on Ebay, there are heaps of individual plasma cannons for sale.
Will a space marine plasma cannon be the best fit or should I be looking for something else?

I have three plasma cannon servitors.

One was supplied as-is from a blister of two (heavy bolter).
One was supposed to be a multi-melta one but didn't come with the multimelta (just a plasma cannon - whilst the weapons all fit the same mount, the bodies are different).

The other one is a converted Pariah with a SM plasmacannon and backpack (and modified 'cylon' face).

The servitor plasma cannons were smaller than the other versions. The Devastator one, the sentinel one are both larger and out of scale with the shoulder mount.

The plasma cannons from the IG tanks are perfect size, you just need thin piece of plasticard or greenstuff to fill the hole at the back.

sentinel plasma cannon would be the way to go, I think.

It's compact, has a mounting on one side (so it's easy to just stick on to a servitor) and doesn't require any backpacks or addons

That's what I thought of, I have a couple of the metal plas cannons from old Demolisher kit sponsons. There is also the Van Saar heavy from Necromunda if you can find one

You can get them in packs of two in the imperial guard elites section.

That Techmarine/servitor set doesnt come with Plasma cannon options. Only heavy bolters and servo arms. Unless they changed when it went to finecast.
