Tzeentch Daemon Weapon

I was painting up some CSM last week, and decided while I was at it, to attack a project I had been meaning to do for a while; My CSM Lord already has three magnetized daemon weapons (undivided, Khorne, and Nurgle). It was time for change...


The Tzeentch daemon weapon has gun stats as well as melee abilities, so I was hoping to find something that looked like a cool gun. What I settled on was the old metal Kai Gun that came with an older Chaos Terminator Lord:
My only problem with it is that it's a right arm, and the options in the latest codex have the weapon replace your melee option (which I've modeled on the left arm).

...out comes the hacksaw:

I'm not very good at greenstuff, but I'm ok at filling seams and doing small-scale stuff. All I did here was flip the shoulder section around so it will work as a left arm (I also drilled a hole for a magnet):
Now the only thing that still bugged me was that little circular joint near the elbow that typically sits on the outside of the arm, so I greenstuffed one for the other side (this is about as ambitious as I get with greenstuff:

Here's the finished product:
and attached to the model:

  1. That's an impressive looking gun

    The blue and bronze turned out great

  2. looks good. your greenstuff work will get better the more you attempt things that are harder and harder, at least this is what im experiencing. My greenstuff skills are not great, bt i have so many conversion ideas floating around in my head that require more than my skill is capable of and ive been finding that if i don't jump right in and attempt something a little bit harder each time, then my skills don't improve. the great part about greenstuff is that it can be filed down and removed all together with an exacto if you mess up too bad. keep attempting stuff with it your doing great so far.
