Hey all,
With the N3 changes to the boarding shotgun, I know I want an infiltrator armed with one in my list. Of the options available - Foxtrot, SAS/Uxia, and Scouts - I chose the Foxtrot as it is the most points efficient (also cheapest), and comes with mines to boot. However, there is no Foxtrot with Boarding Shotgun model, so I would have to convert one, or use a substitute model.
Doing a weapon swap on a model is relatively straight forward, but I'm not keen on using either of the current Foxtrot models for such a conversion. I thought about getting the Uxia model, and using it as a 'counts as' (beautiful mini). Another thought I had would be to use a Hasslefree Mini. The American aesthetic absolutely fits the bill for a Foxtrot.
Any model suggestions/conversion tips?
Thanks,
H1ghlander

My suggestion: use whatever model you like to proxy it for now.
Wait a month or so for your copy of N3 to see if the Foxtrot Shotgun is still there.
As for conversions - I'd suggest the Light GL Foxtrot. Looks like it would be simple enough to cut off the light GL and replace it with another firearm (provided you have a spare shotgun). The Wargames Factory Apocalypse Survivors sets seem like neat source of bits, though of course you'd be getting a wholesale supply... Other than that, Hasslefree sells small batchess of their firearms, too.

They say there will be Heaven and the Fount of Kausar,
That there, there will be pure wine and honey and sugar
Fill up the wine cup and place it in my hand
(For) ready cash is better than a thousand credits.

...and you should have one from the Galwegian box.
i have just recently bought hasslefree's "woody", conveniantly with a hat and a shotgun - also, he's just in scale with infinity and looks fantastic.
Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
I actually got just that model for Christmas, for just that use. Something something great minds.
