Fuel Rod Gun
Printer friendly version | Rate this Article | Comment on this Article
Thanks to Orry Watts for this.
I wanted to have an anti-tank ability to my squad. Firstly I took a pulse rifle that is held upright then took a razor and cut it down to the hand and the butt of the gun. Next I took a spare plasma rifle for the crisis suit. I took a razor and carefully cut the bulb at the end of the rifle. Then I cut off the canisters on the top.
Glue the gun upside down, and add the rail to the hand to support the gun. Find a small cylinder much like the peg off of a gun drone sprue. Consult to the photos I've taken if you aren't sure.

| I think the conversion was very well done, however, the paint job sort-of ruins it for me.

Great idea I don\'t know that will work ingame but cool. As for the paint though...
Disgusting. It looks like you either spilled plastic glue on them or you are gloss happy. Try using primer next time too.

| Great! i also thought my fire warriors were lacking that spicy punch of heavy weapons, and i was thinking of doing a similar conversion myself. Good job!

| I would rather give it the stats of the hammerhead fusion cannon, but remove the twin link. That makes it range 24" S8 AP1 Heavy 1, blast. Quite similar to the fuel rod in Halo.

i took inspiration from this and did my own design for a tau rocket launcher, but then realized the Tau already have rocket launchers, and they dont look like this. so i made it a tau portable grenade launcher. stick two fire warrior grenades onto the side part where it normally joins the XV8 arm, put a couple more on the base, as it they are waiting to be fired, and there you go!
ill show if someone tells me how to post pics on the website!

When I made mine, it was more like a rocket launcher, I had him crouching down.
I also put one of the Kroot Rifle straps (without the feathers) linking from the top to the backpack, and another link from the backpack to a 'powerpack' on the floor.
I removed the rail, and instead of the two cylinders at the end, I took the ammo bit off of a fusion cannon.
I'll try and put up my variation of your variation when I can.

| if you turned it around it would look like a missile launcher - probably more of a pulse catapulter.

| This is a cool conversion. I gave it the stats of a fusion blaster (for the anti-tank ability) and added 1 to each of my squads.
