http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/68.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW "kitbashed" their own models to make it. It is pretty easy, it just takes a little bit of time and patience in cutting.

First up, the tools - clipper, exacto, meltagun, bolter (and plastic glue, not pictured):

I like to start with smoothing the top the top of the bolter. All that is really necessary is cut/scrape the raised part off the top of the bolter (the gun sight and the ridge) and also clip the top little bit of plastic above the barrel. The gun should look like this:

The most complex "surgery" here is with the meltagun. If you look closely at the meltagun you will see there is a panel line that runs through to about a millimeter below the nozzle that the melta comes out. Don't cut into the tank but shave off the two little hoses that go from the tank into the gun, though. You should have shaved the bottom of the gun all the way of to the bottom of that tank like so (there are a couple of pics from different angles):

Once you have these done it is a simple matter to line the top of the bolter with plastic glue and seat the meltagun bit on top leaving you with something that looks like this:

Anyway, it isn't too difficult to do, but it is a bit time consuming - the end result is really great looking, though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/708592.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/708592.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/708600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/708600.page GMT

My combined need for melta-guns across both CSM and Renegade is insane and the thought of butchering one for a lesser-breed combi-weapon rates right up there with the Heresy .

Definitely something to try out once the 30+ other meltas are done Though I guess, in some twisted way, you are appeasing Tzeetch... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/709933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/709933.page GMT

I know folks say never buy directly from them, but from what I can tell the free shipping makes them very competitive. I grabbed 5 plasma rifles and 5 meltas and a set of 10 nurgley shoulder pads and feel pleased enough at the expense. At the very least I'm not so worried about scrounging up the specific weapons I want for a squad now.

They are sort of a pain in the rear to put on though - I've been cutting off the metal fist and some of the stock from the gun to glue them onto my plastic minis. There's probably a "correct" way to do it but I haven't found it yet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/1037338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239553/1037338.page GMT
One from a sternguard - think that one is ok but looks more like a flamer with a single shot bolter

One I prefer is here http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-viewimage.jsp

Dont have much time to paint let alone pioneer conversions so if anyone has more time and masters this pls put up a tutorial!

(The Combi-flamer was a good effort, very proud of it)

Kudos to you sir, for contributing to Dakka.

I also wanted a "UZIEL" pattern Bolter because I want some of My Sternguard toting Twin Boltguns or Boltgun and Bolt Pistol (got some of those Angelus Pattern ones too!) , just for John Woo-esque posing really..
