mean sons, now thats a good name that inspires some images...will remeber that one...

well it was a non secure time...could be over anyminiute so you make due with what you can...which was rather a lot...^^
well the priming was done yesterday anyway^^ but well...^^^

what do you think about my shotgun version? convincable?

and i got a bunch of minis today from abay called KISLEV
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130478532204&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

looking good?
force needs some russians^^

vik

I like the shotguns but do you have enough for 7 of them?

i probably get enough together for seven and then some flamers as you suggested... i need to buy some fresh cadian bodies though as all my minis are prebuilt when i bought them so no virgin ones left^^... but i will probably order them via ebay in the next week or so...

gosh there will be so many minis...

concerning the comand squad, how big can i blow it up or is the 4 +1 iron and cant be enlarged? i wanted to use the mordians for that psecific use... they are 12 minis and wouoldn´t make any sense in another squad then...


vik

Shotguns look aces Vik,I did something similar to make mine.
As far as Command squads 4+1 (advisers not included) is the rule AFAIK.
Looking good so far Vik,definitely keeping up with this one.

thanks man, feared it rules wise then i wil have to rethink army wise... but will come to a good end^^

thanks about the shotguns^^, tricky part is still the mag... as i dont have enough thudguns to convert their mags...

vik

Is definitely looking good
some nice paintwork there!

I can see some seams though!
Okay, I'm being picky

Shalln't mention my own

your absolutley right, lots of flashes or mouldlines to be seen... when i got around painting it was after a long cleanup of my workspace... i was frustrated as hell as i dont like to clean up... then i was in painters heaven and ddn´t want to ruin the moment for cleaning up mouldlines... so yep there on my sins will be lots of more minis with mouldlines...one day this will be my ruin....

You could always go the same route I did and use the rear of the grenade launchers (Grip and drum mag) to convert "Street sweeper" shot guns.

would love to but the bitz box wouldn´t support that...and the ones i got i probably need for the real deal to make widespread carnage in the name of the empress..

Command squad is 4 guardsmen +1 commander. You can increase the size with an optional 1 astropath, 1 Fleet officer, 1 artillery officer and 1-2 bodyguards. The astropath is the only one who wouldnt look fine as a Mordian IMO. @ FITZZ, i like the shotgun is very Max Payne.

hmmmm have to give the additions a thought....willl have to look up whats possible through them...

in videaogames i tend to use shotguns a lot, like the full sound of them and the vast destructive power.... something about a shotgun thats just says: yeah suckker thats for you and i anint fuzzing around no more...

Hey, nice, simple conversions! How did you do them?

*cough, cough, PM sent cough, cough*

just saw this at ebay...:
http://cgi.ebay.de/Forgeworld-Imperiale-Armee-Elysian-Flammenwerfer-8827-/390284115118?pt=Rollenspiele_Tabletops&hash=item5adebefcae

this would make an epic shotgun....

okay. I now need to find how I can get a load of shotguns into my army...

well my shotguns work but the FW loks really good...doesn´t it? by the way you could as well order from a german trader via eby , you do realise that? cut out the middleman^^

meh, as much as I like those flamethrowers, I just can't see how they'd work as shotguns. I much prefer your one, vik.

as good as in the mail matey... be sure of that... by the way the linky in your shopinglist doesnt work....GW on the Hunt?

nah, apparently it's outdated. here you are:
http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/tools-and-misc/instant-mold.html
if it doesn't work, go on thier site and search "instant mold".

ok, but i think the time will come when they get some serious lawyer traffic...

why?
oh and vik- what did you make the shottie out of?

well its easy and might get GW stuf copied for good and cheap by everyone...that is something in the black book of GW...

and the shotgun is made out of a standard flamethrower arm IG issuea and then cable and pouch and ignition cut of then the drilled thingy turned upside down... although i am not sure if that was a goo decission... will work on that tommorrow too so expect a new version soon^^

shotguns for everyone^^

I might do a grendae launcher shotgun...but with a shotgun-style double barrel on the end...hmm...I'll let you know.

say mate, what do you think about using tau weapons as shotgus? worth a thought?

just been rumaging through ebay and saw these:http://cgi.ebay.de/BITZ-6-Pulssturmgewehre-Tau-/360312325942?pt=Rollenspiele_Tabletops&hash=item53e449c736


could these be a base for a shotgun?

If you fill in the grooves, file away the tau symbol and stick some eagles on it, probably, yes.
Maybe cut out the strip under the grip.

hmmm, will see if i have a spare one in the bits box, will show of course progress...

Bull-Pup Shotgun....looks Tua-ish to me.

thats what i thought too as i posted the link^^...
the shotgun fever has me in deep^^

Viktor von Domm wrote:hmmm, will see if i have a spare one in the bits box, will show of course progress...

I mean not the trigger hand strip, the other hand strip, the pumping hand, if it was a pump action.

Also thought you might like to have a look ( or a squint since the pic is so small) at this.
Mordians done up in a more "Praetorian" color scheme...thought you might find it helpful.

something on the lines of these i had for my minis envisioned... thx FITZZ

at shrike...i probably thought the same... will see... made a bargain last year and bought a wild bunch of bitzmix on ebay and there was a bit of tau stuff also... and i found some nbits of them on ebay for refill^^
