Say, I know this'll sound ridiculous, but is there any models in Power Armour weilding Storm Bolters? Save for Pedro Kantor, of course, as I find myself in need of 10 Marines with them. Either bits or full models are fine. I'd be grateful if there were anybody who can help me.

Well the SoB definitely have the models, but you're not looking for those ones by the sound of it

I've never actually had to look for them before, but I just noticed that I can't really find any at all on the GW site. Maybe try using the Terminator ones or the one from the Rhino as it's more closer to the correct size and less the size of a Bolt Pistol. Hopefully there is a bitz service site somewhere that does have them.

-Termies
-vehicle upgrade sprues
-plastic Captain


Best bet would be Termies ( 5x ). Vehicle and captain get you just 1x.

You get 2 in a Space Wolf box.

Thank you, gentlemen. I'll sift through me spare vehicle sprues and see how many I can hoik together.

Jimmy

in need of ten, aye?

What can I say, you're a taker.

I'd generally suggest terminators (awesome cause you can paint them up and stuff.)

whats great about them, is if you get 1 box of assault terminators and one box of normal terminators, you can make a squad of 10 assault terminators with a tonne of bits (and you get 5 storm bolters.) it's a little expensive, but it's great. (thats how I got all my SB.) also, you get 400 points worth of clawrators and hammernators. (just to sound cheesy!)

Grey Knights do Space Marines in power Armour with Storm Bolters and Force Halberds:

Yes, 10 Storm Bolters. Trying out taking 10 Dark Angel Veterans with Storm Bolters, in a Land Raider Crusader, giving 24 inch bolter death. The results will be... interesting in practice, I imagine.

and Grey Knight Storm Bolters, attached to wrists, are a bit too distinctive of them. I'm trying Dark Angels, so I'd rather keep with their imagery.

Your best bet is to use a bits site and get the Storm Bolter bit from the Space Marine Captain box. Lets you have guys firing and carrying one handed Storm Bolters for a neat posing.

That's the bit I'm referring to.

If you just cut creatively with Terminator stormbolters you should do okay. If you're using the Dark Angels sprue, it already comes with a few. Just get some Black Reach Terminators through Warstore, eBay, or what have you; clip their stormbolters off, then replace those arms with Deathwing stormbolter arms from the veteran sprue.

Problem solved and you've got some Terminators on top of it all!

Try proxying them a few times before going through all the trouble to modify them. But yeah, space wolf squads come with 2. They are sized properly already.

What I did was take 2 bolters and glue them together.

Yeah, there's that too. It wasn't too long ago that twin linked bolters were identical in game stats as storm bolters.

There use to be a metal Marine Stormbolter bit (with shoulder strap). I order a dozen or so back in the day, and still have a 1 or 2 left in my bitz box. Unfortunately, that doesn't help you.

I'd go with the vehicle Stormbolter upgrade located on all Imperial vehicle upgrade sprues. Cheap, easy to work with, and plentiful.
