Welcome back to another week on the SB! Spikey Bits that is 😀
First up is this article on a conversion I came up with to make Terminator Psycannons on the cheap.
Bits always start spiking in price as a whole right around this time each year like clockwork.
The first one I came up with is the simplest conversion IMHO. It’s just a basic cut and re-position of the ammo feed from the right to the left.
Here is a picture of the Terminator, and Power Armor conversion side by side.
As you can see the converted one is a bit bland, but you can spice that up a bit by adding some Grey Knight accessories, or even clip down the wires from a servo skull and attach them to it! The sky is the limit here, as anything in your bits box can really make this pop.
Conversion 2
This conversion is also pretty easy, just cut the tip off of the Psilencer, and replace with a bored out and trimmed down multi-melta canister.
It looks great, and has all the gubbins and wires and stuff attached already.
I mounted each version of the weapons to the normal terminator weapon arm mount (which only comes one per box as well, sigh).
