Hey all,

I recieved my Dark Eldar army (finally) in the mail today and after scouring the net I came to the conclusion that finding some Disintigrator bitz is next to impossible!

So I'm thinking of making some, but I need some suggestions! I was thinking of modifying some dark lances (I have about 6-7 DL bitz) into some using GS, some spikes, and a bit of plastic tubing. Or should I use splinter rifles? any suggestions would be awesome!

Working off dark lances is better, the base proportions are there. Beefing up the back end and adding a short stretch of cable tends to work. I also add some spikes from the warriors box onto the tip of the barrel, it looks good and helps differentiate them from the DLs.

Do you not still get 3 in the Ravager box?

Personally i think if you cut down the DL barrels a bit and add a kinda green stuff bulge of the top looks pretty good.

I bought the army off a guy and it didn't come with any :(

I'll work around and try and make custom disintigrators. I have TONS of chaos bits I can use too, for extra spikey awesomeness

Well, you can always use part off the Eldar Support Platforms and attach it to the Dark Lance. Just a reminder, do not over do it. To many spikes, cables and GS can make the model look like .

Yeah, agreed!

I whipped up 8 disintigrators tonight. Wasn't too hard, I used Dark Lances for the base gun, a bit of rubber tubing (like you'd use to hook bunsen burners and stuff together, I got it from work), and some green stuff. I cut off the gun 2 notches past were the bottom part of the barrel curves in. I actually found 1 disintigrator in my bits as a baseline for the size. After cutting em off, I used the tubing to link the two parts sticking out at the stock of the gun. This made it look like the transfer tube for the dark matter (I'll probably leave it clear and not color it). I glued the tubes on. Then I green stuffed where the tube touches the gun to sort of blend it (I used too much GS on some of the guns as you can see, hopefully paint makes it look less... bleh). I then used knives/cut off blades from some of my chaos guns, along with some GS, for the blade at the barrels bottom. And lo-and-behold Disintigrators! Heres some pics of em for you;




I'll attach em to my ravagers once I fix them up (they're pretty beat up). I'm not a good converter, my lack of patience makes some of my stuff sloppy, but it works
