Hi all,

So I have this 5 man metal squad I bought, and one has an incinerator. So far I've managed to convert 2 guys from halbreds to force swords which leaves just 1 guy with a force sword. However the 5th guy is posing some problems since he is an incinerator model.

I'm not sure how to convert him to have a pyscannon which would make this squad the ideal compliment to my current 5 man striker squad with swords and 1 psycannon.
once option is to have two striker squads, 1 with psycannon 1 with incinerator. My other thought was to turn this squad into a 5 man interceptor squad. I guess I could stick the backpacks on in such a way that I can swap out the backpacks to make them striker squad men or interceptors.

Has anyone converted a metal incinerator model to psycannon model? I was thinking of chopping off the nozzle and gas canisters and sticking on the psycannon nozzle and ammo clip.

Any advise on what to do would be appreciated.

Ok well I did it anyway.

Did pretty much this back in the 4th ed days.

Ended up with 7 incinerator marines after a buy up of metals.
I preferred the psycannons, so converted two by removing the fuel 'tanks' underslung, and the burner nozzle.

Replaced this with a new muzzle made from plasticard tube (concentric tubing and an ammo box from a storm bolter.

it looks pretty good actually!
only thing that could use some touching up is where the plastic nozzle is attached to the metal
