Hello All,

I was wondering - is there a large difference in the size of the metal cadian meltagun/plasmagun model on the GW website for $23 and that of the valhallan models for 60$

I remember years ago when plastic cadians came out they were much larger than the metal ones

I am asking as I am thinking of using metal valhallan infantry with the cadian special weapons models and just want to make sure there is not a significant size difference

alternatively what is the difficulty like of cutting the metal lasgun and replacing it with a special weapon piece ?

Jebus, they're going for THAT now? I never used Valhallans or I'd probably have a few to send you. I've done the conversion, it isn't rocket surgery but it requires some skill with a Dremel, a cut off wheel, and a square end mill bit to clean out the hole for your new special weapon to reside in. FYI, if you haven't done this the pewter will get really hot really quickly. I use needle nose pliers to hold the model and give it a dip in water every now and then. Look at bit sellers for your special weapons. Lots of sources for them now.

Thank you mate
