Conversion Beamer

I have been having too much fun playing with a techmarine with a conversion beamer lately. So much in fact that I decided that I better look into making one so that I can play all legal and stuff. Since the piece doesn't actually exist I used a few old model parts I had laying around.



The bulky metal part came from an old Necron metal destroyer, the arm is from a missle launcher marine, the boxy part of the weapon is from a vehicle missile launcher, The box with the line on the side of the missile launcher cam from one of the ammo boxes from a predator that I cut apart and finally the stock of the gun came from a plasma rifle. Throw on somw wires that I actually drilled into the plastic of the weapon and you have my conversion beamer.



The weapon is super fun to use in actual games too.



I will Terminate You!

I finally put together 6 terminators. the conversion work took way longer than expected but I am extremely happy with how the paint job turned out. Looking at them next to my librarian in terminator armor I am extremely surprised at just how much better my painting looks now. The colors are the same and all, but the lines all look much smoother and more controlled. I guess that is just something you have to learn through experience.




Here is the group shot of all six I painted. Now I just need to paint their land raider so that they can travel in style.
