Scions Conversion Winterial part 3: Pistol holders and chainswords

Hey all, this is the last Winterial for the Scions Conversion, as I wrap it up with the final part in this trilogy. Let's get started!

The first thing that we would look at would be the pistol holders that we see at most of the scout models. The thing about these holders are that they do not have a handle of them. Since my scions would be carrying rifles, I feel the need to feel up those holes to make the model more complete.

Remember the remaining part from the lasgun that we had cut earlier for the hot-shot lasgun and volley gun? We don't want to waste good parts. So I detached the handle from it.

The handle would off course not fit properly. Therefore it is essential that you dry fit it to the pistol holder while at the same time trimming it down so that it would fit perfectly. Do take note that you do not want the handle to be too short or it would look weird on the model.

Here's a picture on the completed handle: 


The next thing that I found important was the significant chainsword that most sergeants carry on their hands. As I looked at the one that came with the bolter scouts, I found it a little too short and fat to fit the style of  the Guard. Thus I took one of those from the cadian shock troops box set.

How do I do it?

Firstly, I remove the handle and arm from the cadian box set. 

Next, I removed the chainsword just before the handle of the bolter scout chainsword.

Lastly, I just attached the cadian chainsword onto the bolter scouts one.

And there you have it, a completed chainsword for your sergeant:


For the pistols that the sergeant carry, I just use the scoped pistol from the scouts box set. There is also not a need to fill up the hole at the pistol holder as he is already carrying one, and that's where he kept it.

So this wraps things up for my Scions Conversion Winterial. Do look out for the youtube video that I am doing for this scions. It should be up in a day or two, so do look out for it!
