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!

Scions Conversion Winterial part 2: Hot-shot volley gun

Hey all, welcome to part 2 of the scions conversion Winterial where today, we will be looking at the awesome volley gun.

I for one tried the gun out in game before and was pretty impressed but was singled out pretty fast by my opponents marines and got taken out before it did much. Nevertheless, it is still an awesome piece to be included within your scions collection. Here we go.

Basically, the overall design is similar to that of the hot-shot lasgun. The one not so obvious difference would be the ammo pack. Instead of just using one of the parts from the respirator pack as seen in part 1, I took 2 and glued them together before adding them onto the gun as shown below:


The next step after this is really straight forward, just attach the lasgun to the scout boltgun, as shown in the part 1 Winterial. Except now in this case, u have to flatten the bottom of the lasgun and also the front of the boltgun.

Next, we just detach a laspistol from one of the sergeant's hand and remove the trigger area, handle and the rear circular piece. The top of the lasgun should also be trimmed off for a better look. Glue it to the bottom of the lasgun and you should get something as shown below:


I decided not to remove the powerpack as I found that it looks pretty neat on the gun itself. But if you intend to remove it, feel free to do so as its up to personal choice.

So this is my part 2 for the Scions Conversion Winterial, stay tune to look out for the final part of it to wrap this up!

Apologize for no Youtube Winterial vid

Hey. Winters here.

I was finally finishing the touch-up for the scions Winterial and was just about to do up the audio recording, since I edited the video. But to my horror when I opened the file, none of the videos that I have added in are to be found, which means that I am going to need to re-edit the entire video again.

I'm so sorry for those of you waiting for it, I promise that I will get it up. In the meantime, I will have part 2 of the scions Winterial up within a day. Hope you guys would stick around and look through this Winterials on the blog, I will edit in the links to the Winterial below every time after I upload one.

Stay tune!
