Burst cannon to assault cannon

I'm an ex-tau player:alien: and I have a lot of spare burst cannons lying around, I was woundering if a burst cannon is the right size to be converted to an assault cannon.:shifty:

Also on a side note, does anyone have any ideas about converting imperial guardsmen into Inquizatorial stormtroopers to be led by a priest in power armour with a power weapon and a plasma gun.:sleep:

Any help appreciated!:rolleyes:

I think it could work in principle, though it would take some conversion. I don't think I'd use it straight, since the burst cannon is an easily recognizable weapon.

I agree with theyak; the burst cannon is has quite a unique look and so a straight use of the part would be a little odd. Maybe you could use two burst cannon, cutting the barrels out of one and adding them to the other, so you end up with an 8-barrelled gun. Add to this an ammo belt of some kind and you should have a conversion that looks different enough from the current burst cannon to work.

You could also do some work on the muzzle - another good way to make it look different to the uncoverted burst cannon. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Rich.

For conversions purposes i ended up making a battle suit with something similar to what RP said. It has dual burst cannons and a piece of plasticard over the top to make it look like the Heavy Arms from Gundam Wing lol.

If I were you I'd just get a load of plastic rods and carefully stick them in plae to, say, double the number of barrels.

And GS it to look more Imperial (i.e armour plating)
