[40k] Conversion ideas for cheap bastards like me. Pt 1

Part 1 - More power fists:

If you have bought a new terminator box and used both chain fists you
will end up with two unused arms with power fists. With a little bit
of work you can put these leftovers on veteran sergeants.

1. Cut the terminator arm at the shoulder so you get the top end of
the cables loose.

2. Cut the terminator arm where the power fist begins.

3. Cut a marine arm just below the elbow and glue the power fist onto
the arm.

4. You probably need to modify the shoulder (by filing or adding
green stuff) to get the arm in a suitable angle for a power fist.

5. Bend and cut the cables so they disappear up under the shoulder
plate.

I've uploaded a photo of the result to the rgmw-genbus (photos /
jockelinde). I should have cut the marine arm closer to the elbow, but
apart from that I'm happy with the result.

I'd love to see it as I've got a bunch of plasma pistols laying
about - post it there and consider also sending it to Rob Singers for
inclusion on RGMW.org

Thanks - I'm looking forward to seeing how you're doing this conversion.
I've liked the stuff you've done with the Tau.

And I want someone to slap me with a fish every time I buy something
new, assemble it, and then leave it unpainted for months.
