[Archive] Very good blunderbuss conversion

Heavygear:

These are up for sale on ebay (not mine). Nicely done.

Yodrin:

Yes, I have to agree!!

Grimbold Blackhammer:

That looks surprisingly good actually.

Geist:

Thats my idea LOL. I have been working on a giant brick of guys with those fire drake guns.

Grollbringer:

A really successful conversion!
I have also seen here a conversion with the great weapons from the long beard set in an army project, but I can not find it :frowning:

ThorAxe:

If only the firedrake gun resembled a blunderbuss better, I’d try and do the same. Looks too much like a miniature version of the leadbelcher gun for my tastes.

It's about 10/11 threads down from this one ;)

Bloodbeard:

It looks natural. This guns fit really good to the forge world miniatures.

I’m not a real fan of the firedrake. It makes sense as a flamethrower (though it misses canisters). But firering a cannon full lead holding a gun like that.

I know they are strengh four - but still dislocated shoulders must be part of the job.



And back ok topic. Nicely done conversion.

They fit shockingly well, yes!

Drake guns are S5 armor piercing, dwarf crafted(no stand and shoot penalty), quick to fire, and flaming attacks.
And they have the Ironsworn statline with 18" range at 15 points per model.. They are a rare choice though.

Was thinking about the chaos dwarfs holding the rather large gun. Recoil. ;)

Admiral:

That’s seamless. It worked even better than expected.

Geist:

To do this conversion what I have ended up doing is:

A clip ends of arms (of the firedrakes) so that they fit in level into the sockets of the chaos dwarf body arm sockets.

B putty around the upper arm where it connects to help beef it up (alone the fire drake arm are a tad skinny compared to a forgeworld CD).

C putty over the forearm guards to cover up the “normal” ruins.

So far its looking good.
