I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice and /or pics how to convert a standard Imperial Guard Cadian flamer to a Heavy Flamer variant? It's likely a matter of adding something underneath the regular model, but I could use some advice and inspiration for the job. I just now noticed that the Hardened Veterans can field a Heavy Flamer as a part of their special weapon choices, and since I had allready assembled (though not painted) a Flamer for them, I'd sure like to upgrade it somehow.

Cut off the bottom of one flamer and attach it ti the other one, I guess.

So it looks like that I guess.

Yeah, some kind of enlarged or doubled flame nozzle, and preferably a larger fuel tank (A back-pack fuel tank would be ideal). The main thing is that it should be obviously larger and nastier than a standard flamer - exactly how you do it is up to you.

I hate the new Guard heavy flamer. The standard one looks pretty good, but they fell into the trap of "hay guyz, lets add moar tubules!!1!11"

So I modded up a couple of variants for my Guard. The one on the left is for my PCS and the one on the right is for my Kasrkin based Grenadier Veteran squad.
