Hi guys. I'm looking to pick up the new space marine tactical squad and using the combi-weapon bits for my wolf guard termies. Are there any tutorials on how this would be possible? Thanks!

Clip terminator gun off with a sharp clipper. Make suer the top of the hand is clear and flat. Then clip of the hand onthe combi gun. Glue on combi weapon.  There should be minimal clean up work if any.
I suggest using StyleX clippers, they are the sharpest Ive seen and provide a nice clean cut edge. Link to their store is in my sig.
Also the combi weapons come in the Veterns kit, just so you dont buy the wrong box.

The tactical squad comes with a "create your own" combi weapon, with multiple attachments. It sounds like the OP is trying to use the combi bits to combine with the standard storm bolters and turn them into combis, correct?

I see that now. Well in that case just glue them underslung to the stormbolter, should fit with a little trimming. You get more combi option in the vertans kit though if you just want combi bolter based weapons

No. It will look terrible. Just slice the bolter's top length-ways, glue the combi weapon on top, and use that. Then either use the salvaged storm bolters for trade or on your SW vehicles.
