Wes Marrakesh Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Ok... this is my first model. It is meant to replace the E-11 with a bolter/bolt gun. Bolters are larger, fire explosive bolts (or a number of specialized rounds) and are standar issue weapons for Space Marines. I will probably end up making more Warhammer 40,000 weapons.... pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Marrakesh Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 I'm hoping to do other 40k Weapons and then move on to 40k player models EDIT: well duh i'm gonna do 40k look at my avatar;)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Explosive bolts, eh? Is this gonna be like a new weapon rather than just a E-11 skin? Rapid-fire explodey blaster bolts would be FUN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morthvargr Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 "The boltgun or bolter is the standard armament of Space Marines and the favoured weapon of Orks. It is a short, compact weapon that fires a small missile or bolt considerably larger than an ordinary bullet. The bolt contains an armour piercing tip, an explosive, and a mass reactive detonator. It is shot from the barrel under low velocity, its own propellant igniting once the missile is clear of the barrel. The explosive detonates only when it has pierced armour. Any sudden increase in local mass activates the explosive and blows the target apart from the inside. Bolt guns are noisy and their effects are visibly devastating. Effective range is not great, and they are thus ideally suited for a shock/assault role"  - Excerpt from Warhammer 40,000 Wargear Manual  One badasss gun! We'll need a bolt pistol to replace the Bryar pistol, and a storm bolter to replace the heavy repeater. Maybe a plasma gun or melta gun to replace them DEMP, and a chainsword or power sword saber.  Then we need a Space Marine with skins for several chapters, a Space Marine with terminator armor, some kind of Eldar, some kind of Ork, and a Genestealer. And maybe a Chaos demon.  I'm sorry, I got carried away. The gun looks awesome, keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Loki Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Pffft... how about an inquisitor? one with armour like Witch Hunter Tyrus's armour... or some deamons. Maybe a bloodthirster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Make a space marine pack with a bunch of army skins. Â and tau. tau are cool! Â we could make a space marine mod and replace the stealth troopers with tau stealth suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Marrakesh Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 One thing at a time, people! I think i'll do Tau as first player model because they are easy compared to a space marine. Chaos/Tyranids willl be hard to make. Hell, we could do a Warhammer 40k Almost-Total Conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morthvargr Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Pffft... how about an inquisitor? Â I was thinking of that too, but it could probably just be a skin for the terminator marine, right? We could also have a Chaos traitor marine skin to go along with the chapter skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 I don't know how possible the terminator model would be to make.... it's too big and bulky... arms are too short lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morthvargr Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 It would be amusing seeing one of those giant suits of armor dancing gracefully around with a lightsaber, though. Hey, forget the terminator, and just make a Dreadnought instead, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted August 21, 2002 Author Share Posted August 21, 2002 Screw dreadnoughts, let's make a land radier and a greater daemon! j/k UPDATE: The basic shape is complete and I am looking for aesthetic suggestions based upon the model itself and reference material. EDIT: Next time i won't forget the pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morthvargr Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Man, last time I loaded the pic page, I was getting this weird scrolling graphical problem (I think from low memory), and it looked like that miniature piece was a solid-textured model! Â I have a couple of suggestions. The back of the gun looks a little odd. On the model, it appears to be as thick as the rest of the gun, but in most of the depictions I've seen, it looks like a slimmer bit that is exposed, while most of the rest of the gun is covered by a metal casing or shroud of sorts. Â The other thing is the magazine. It looks a bit too big. I say get rid of that big curve, and either make a straight piece which comes out of the gun on an angle, or maybe put a couple slight angles on it. Â These are just small nitpicks though, the work as a whole looks great, I could tell you in a second it was a WH40K bolter if I saw it untextured and out of context.

Wes Marrakesh Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 Thanks... I know about the casing, I need to work on back... ALL Bolters have angled clips. I just think it might be too big... Should this be skinned? If so, who is offering to? I can't skin worth crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 the vertical part of the clip is too long and maybe we could make the terminator replace galak_mech (the yellow robot with galak fyar inside) that would be a cool mod  or maybe galak_mech could be a tau battle suit and the stealth troopers could be tau stealth suits and the probe droids could be tau drones and the space ships would be like tanks or planes or the hammer head. and the stormtroopers normal tau guys  to see a warhammer mod in the making (for half life thought) go here: http://www.rivalspecies.com/ (look in players for the tau model) or here http://www.bg40k.com/marine/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 First site: Mostly crappy models IMO. Second site: Better, still kind of crappy. We could do much better. A 40kTC for JO would be fun.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Marrakesh Posted August 22, 2002 Author Share Posted August 22, 2002 BUMP! I shortened the clip and it does look better... but i need more suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<JOTD>Jedi Hunter Posted August 22, 2002 Share Posted August 22, 2002 I think it looks great. I hope you consider replacing that cheesy blaster pistol with it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
