Full Version: Scratch built Bolt Thrower tutorial
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I can't remember if this has been posted here before or not.  It is a tutorial on how to scratch build an Orc Bolt thrower, which could just as easily be a Hobgoblin bolt thrower.

It's not really a conversion, so if any of the mods want to move this post somewhere else go for it.

Thats awesome. I might give that ago. If anyone tries this dont spray it at the end. I think the spray melts that kind of foamboard.

Actually its by a guy called "thecoldwarrior" over on the Herstone, he does a lot of stuff like that, usually using styrene (the reason i'm trying to track some down in fact).

Indeed, He makes alsorts of goodys out of styrene, including amazing weopens and the most amazing skaven-gun-thingy-ma-bob I've ever seen.

Never actully read this guide before so it was good to see it!
This guide is really awesome.  Perhaps we should sticky it?
Great link, worth a slave.

Excellent.  I'll name this one "Rupert".

Hes another guide by thecoldwarrior, this time showing how to make simple styrene weopens:

Clicky Clicky

Its not as detailed as the other guide but its still quite good.

On another note, where would I get some of this styrene?
It sounds pretty useful...
I got mine from general craft shops but I see it most often in model train stores.  I've been slowly building a mechanical walker using bits of it.  Maybe I'll post pics of it eventually.

I made an Space Ork dreadnaught out of the stuff. Its not all that good, but its very orky. I'll post a picture if anyone wants to see it.
