And simply saying "these guardsmen count as acolytes with stormbolters" is dreadfully boring. I want be able to field squads of 10 acolytes without any one of them in a single squad to have all the same bitz as any other guy. Having three times the same guy is fine as long as they're not in the same squad, but still, I'd rather not if at all possible. The parts I'm currently planning on using for 30 acolytes are;

Pig iron kolony rebel heads (20pcs)
30 of these maxmini heavy machine guns to be converted into S. Bolters
1 Company command squad
1 Catachan company command squad
1 box of cadian shock troops
1 box of catachans
2 boxes of tempestus

Now, I'm not entirely happy with this list honestly, and I was hoping there was a company that sold plastic/resin (not metal) torsos that would fit guardsman arms (or just have seperate arms available that fit that torso) for mounting the S. Bolters. Most bodies that I've seen have the arms/gun attached to it, which I don't want. Does anyone know where to get anything of the sort? I was going with the whole idea that no two acolytes are the same and have them unique in at least some way.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814122.page GMT Stormbolter Acolyte kitbash help needed http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814146.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814146.page GMT Stormbolter Acolyte kitbash help needed http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814202.page GMT Stormbolter Acolyte kitbash help needed

Maxmini parts - greatcoat torsos, legs and arms.
Anvil Industry - Firestorm Carbine
Puppetswar - head

Maxmini also do combat armour torsos, legs and arms too, in case the greatcoat look isn't your thing.

Alternatively you might want to look at Anvil's Afterlife range, specifically the Republic Grenadiers. They carry a carbine/rifle with what appears to be two barrels.


If you're just after arms then Anvil (regiments range) and Maxmini are still your best bet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814213.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814213.page GMT Stormbolter Acolyte kitbash help needed

I cannot thank you enough, the guns on anvil are exactly what I was looking for for this conversion, and some others! And some of these other parts are also fantastic. Thanks a ton for the advice

EDIT: These are literally storm bolters. Aww yeah.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814264.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/594364/6814264.page GMT
