hi does anyone know where i can get some warhammer scale bagpipes from or how to make them without green stuff? Thanks in advance.

Now might I ask, WHY, do you want to make bagpipes?

It's St Andrew's Day
he's Scottish
In Space no one can hear them scream... best place for playing bagpipes
Chaos Noise Marine?

There must be a 28mm bagpiper begging to be converted from somewhere, but afaik there is no benefits for fielding a musician in 40K.

GS and some styrene/wire
should be easy to look up some bagpipes pics online and make some mini ones.

im not scottish,there IS no benefit to it and i have a scottish themed IG army

But it is St Andrew's Day.
Oh well, one out of four ain't bad!

and it still will be very easy to make some.

Wouldn't be hard to make.

Go get some very narrow gauge plasticard rod or copper rod, or even a piece of very tiny copper tubing from a local hardware store. Cut off a few pieces for the pipes. Make a wad of GS and stick the pipes in the GS.

easy peasy

in my force so far ive got a platoon of infantry, a heavy weapons team and a sentinel. I want my second platoon to have a bagpiper in it

Is a cool idea
There must be a range of 28mm figures that have a WW2 piper, well because they had them.
But a google come up with charicature Scots, badgers and Dwarves with pipes

I would make some but Im shocking with gs

Which bit of a Chaos Noise Marine would you use?

I think one of the Tanith figures has bagpipes... I'll just look it up.

was jesting
thought the noise marines would be using the bagpipes because of the noisome racket produced by said instrument of torture.
Sorry. It was a rubbish joke gone bad ways

No its all right i understand now you explained it. sorry

Ah no, they're regular pipes, sorry. It's Milo, on the right at the top of the picture on this page. Good luck anyway though!

Try BrigadeGames.com. They list a Highlander bagpiper and Musician, Bagpiper on their site. Can't link you to it as IT at work blocks that site, but hopefully that helps.

A bagpipe is basically a big ball with tubes coming out of it when it comes to sculpting... Even if you're awful, with some plasticard tubing it wouldn't be too hard at all. And probs cheaper than other options!

Just a suggestion

i recommend victrix, http://www.victrixlimited.com/recent_releases.php
i wanted to buy for a long time a set of them. there non heroic scale but if you look out for just one fig of a piper of éem it would work i guess...

vik

Ive found these http://www.victrixlimited.com/online_shop/product_info.php?products_id=57 and i think they would work as a different company so like a detachment from a different regiment.

Yes! the one that represents Brin Milo carries a bagpipe!


PD: sorry i didn't saw your latest post

Unfortunately, the model for Brin Milo has him sculpted incorrectly. While in the books he does carry bagpipes, the model carries pan pipes.

I think the assault group might have old scottish regimental musicians, might be worth checking them out ?

Milo would be a pretty easy conversion as the pose is good for a piper.
I checked the BrigadeGames site but couldn't find anything but my search mojo is on a go slo

There was one site with a WW2 piper I think, but it had no piccie and now I can't find it again.
