Hi guiz,
first of all let me thank you for all the good advices an nice pics of your works you are sharing on CMON, it sure help a lot a new painter likes me. I\'m thinking about setting up a SM squad, as the new GW minis attracted me a lot, involving 7 snipers (scouts SM). As only 2 minis of snipers are existing, I\'m in search of cool and EASY conversions for the 5 others, involving GW minis...don\'t want to have 4 times the same mini on my squad...any one with good advices ? saw a couple of snipers on the gallery, but they\'re far too difficult for me to realize (too much green stuff involves, lol...).
Thank you again for all your help, will keep reading you in order to progress :)

You could always get the bolt gun scouts and trim off the front of the gun, then add some brass tubing, or an inner pen tube for the barrel, add a little green stuff for the stock and voila.
If I\'m not mistaken the Space Marine sprue comes with some scopes or you could make one yourself out of a pen tube, just add a drop of glue to the front to create the lens effect.

Same as EvilDave said... you could also use the Shotgun scouts for those conversions... I don\'t think the Vindicare conversion vould work... may be a bit too fiddly conversion work, plus, expensive bitz...
You might even add those \"camo rolls\"... just flatten some green stuff, roll it up, bind it together and glue it to the Scouts\' backpacks... voilá!
:D

Thank you all for your replies !
using the bolt guns scouts seems a good idea, not to much conversion for a nice effect, will try this one.
Merci green stuff pour ton idée, this seems nice too but maybe a little too much complicated for someone likes me, using 2 left hands full of thumbs, lol
Will let you know & see the result :flip:
