I want to do a lil conversion on a SM Termie to have two Thunder Hammers for my Chapter Master! Wondering if any you guys could help!

What specifically do you need help with?

Do you have any photos of what you've done so far?

I'm assuming you need help with the lefthanded thunder hammer. There isn't a decent looking left handed thunder hammer (that I could find anyway). So the suggestions I've read say to take a left power sword arm, Like this one:

and a spare right thunder hammer arm.

- Cut the sword top and bottom off of the left arm, leaving the just the fist.
- Carefully cut the thunder hammer off of the right arm, cutting straight down the middle of the fist (you need the extra material). Carefully cut the power cable where it connects to the arm (try to cut a little extra material).
- If you have a hobby drill, carefully drill a hole thru the left arm fist. If you don't have a hobby drill, do the best you can with a hobby knife.
- Trim the half-o-fist pieces left on the two halves on the thunder hammer so that they're the same width as the handle.
- Glue the two halves of the thunder hammer into the fist holes, the extra material allows both thunder hammers to be the same length.
- Trim the power cable, and glue to the arm.
- add a tiny bit of green stuff if you need to smooth anything out.
- and you are done.

here's and example by paintedpotato (I'm not sure if this is how he did it, but I'm guessing he did something along these lines

Its a WIP, but pretty easy to do.
Took the AOBR Termie Sgt and kitted a standard TH on him. Then I took a Termie arm with a Power Sword (for the opposite arm) and cut the sword off. After that just graft another TH onto the ends of the gripping hand.

While the pic could be better (sorry) what I did is take a right hand thunder hammer and a cut it off the hand in three places with a razor saw, at the cables, and where the handle met both sides of the fist. Then I grabbed a storm bolter hand and with some careful cutting with the razor saw carved off the storm bolter and then glued it in place. Really fiddly, but I was surprised how well the end fit came out.

Thanks guys! Really appreciate it. Its only because I'll be getting through a Termie Captain that looks exactly like the one tGrass4Hopper posted and as I can see from the picture it'll look pretty awesome once finished. Just gotta get rid of his shield. Thanks.
