Hey guys.

I dont think it's just me that plays spacewolves and want 15 missile launchers for your longfangs.

Anyway, They are quite hard to get hold of, and I thought I'd make a little tutorial on how I make them, Quite authentic aswell.

Hope the can help you

What you will need is the hunter killer missiles from Rhino/Razorback/demolisher/predator kits.

Sprue looks like this.
Cut out he missile front and "tube".



Cut out the pintle mounted arms from them same sprue, and Cut out the left arm from there.



Glue the missile launcher up, take a shoulderpad from whatever faction you play. (In my case, Spacewolves)



Assembeled it looks like this.








Hope this will help you my fellow nerds!

That's a good use for those orphaned tank parts.

I've thought about doing it, but never tried. Now we have proof of concept.

Thanks!

Yeow! Simple and totally awesome. I had a buddy who just had his marines holding actual missiles from the Imperial Guard Heavy Weapons team kit because he needed a bunch of missile long fangs for a tourney. I like this a lot more!

I've been using this for quite awhile. Nice tutorial.

Why is it that only those who have never fought in a battle are so eager to be in one?
