Inferno Pistol Conversion

This is a cheap and easy way to convert a Seraphim's hand flamers into inferno pistols.

CHEAP - you don't have to buy any additional pieces to do this conversion.

EASY - the only tools required are your standard pin-vise drill, hobby knife, metal/wire clippers, and a file. NO GLUE REQUIRED!!!


1. Take your standard Seraphim with hand flamers.




2. Clip the pointy tip off of her flamers' nozzles
(the part that would actually eject and ignite the fuel).



3. There may be a ridge of metal left over on the end of the barrel from the clipping process, cut/file this off so that the barrel has a smooth flat end.

4. Drill a hole in the (now flat) end of the barrel for a more realistic feel. (I do this with all my guns)


Now the barrel should look like a mini melta gun's, which is what an Inferno Pistol is after all.


5. Carefully clip the fuel canister off of each gun. Be careful to not damage the fingers on the hand, as they will be more visible now.

6. Carefully clean out the new recess on the underside of the gun, removing any ridges left by the clipping process.



7. Now you have a seraphim with two distinct Inferno Pistols that both look great and look like what an Inferno Pistol should (i.e. Mini-Melta).





There are also plastic hand flamers available that you can convert for your HQ if needed. These look almost exactly the same as the metal Seraphim ones, however, I'm not sure what sprue they come with (maybe Marines or Imperial Guard) .



Here is a Heroine with an Inferno Pistol. I had a couple extra Flamer Seraphim, so I simply converted one of their Hand Flamers and chopped it off. I then pinned it into the Heroines hand. Simple as pie.



I hope I've encourage some of you Heretics out there to Convert!
If not, prepare to meet your maker. Suffer not the Witch to live!


It was a joke, get it? Converting heretics, converting witch hunter miniatures, get it?
Come ON! ANYBODY?!!?!?!?

Wow, tough blog....
