metcalfedan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hey guys, I've decided that my all-lascannon armed pred isn't likely to be seeing much action anymore, so I've decided to convert it into a special pred just for apocalypse. The armament is: 1x turret mounted twin-linked autocannon, 2x sponson mounted autocannons, 1x storm bolter, 1x hunter killer missile, Whadddaya think?: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0119.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0120.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0121.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0124.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0125.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0126.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0127.jpg Now that leaves me loads of lascannon bits to use on my master of the forge's conversion beamer project :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liltom Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I love it. Lotsa long, dakka barrels is very appealing. I can see it being good for low armour save, high toughness units. (Nobs anyone?) A good idea, beautifully done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1782367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 That's exactly what it's for ^_^ My friend who plays orks, got two lots of black reach orks and has a 10-man Nob squad and I needed something to take them down.

Brother Cambrius Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Yep, that's my next conversion project sorted. :tu: Very well done metcalfedan. Post up your Master of the Forge when it's done please. :D Cambrius <EDIT> Predator Decimator, Eliminator, Exterminator, Eradicator, Demolisher, Vanquisher? How do any of those sound?

Montuhotep Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Predator Decimator, Eliminator, Exterminator, Eradicator, Demolisher, Vanquisher? How do any of those sound? Decimator sounds suitably imposing - Vanquisher, Demolisher and Exterminator have already been nicked by the Guard anyway! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1782474 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 oooh I like Decimator a lot - Reminds me of the Destructor, but with it's own tweak. EDIT: oh and Cambrius, will do. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1782488 Share on other sites More sharing options...

metcalfedan Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 All I need now is to get one more IG autocannon - I only have 3. :P EDIT: Many thanks Stinkenheim!

Pulse Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 File off the carry handles on the loaders on the sponson and it will look much better. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1782722 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 I was thinking of that. :) Heres some more pics: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0128.jpg http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f139/metcalfedan/IMG_0129.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1782728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulse Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think it looks good, maybe the autocannons on the sponsons are a little long, but i don't think it looks bad. The reason i said file off the carry handles is because it looks like the AC needs to be reloaded by a marine hopping out and putting in a new drum. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1782732 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother SRM Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I would call it the Dakkabox, but that's just me :) Nice idea for a conversion though, you pulled it off well.

stinkenheim Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 metcalfedan, the autocannons are on route, sent them today (actually yesterday but such are the perils of working late). Sent you 5 i think, so if it proves successful you can build another. more dead greenskin can only be a good thing... for dorn brother :cuss Andy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1784507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorvald Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 May I say great work, allways good to see someone not afraid to convert something not covered under oficial rules.

Vassakov Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Predator Decimator - has a nice ring to it! Just hope it does more than Decimate the Orks, or you're in a lot of trouble. Also, I like your sig metcalfedan! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152955-autocannon-predator/#findComment-1786683 Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalfedan Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Sorry it's been a while guys, but I've been working on a small bit of fluff for the predator: After the Ork attack on Rynn’s World, the Crimson Fists were left with only a handful of survivors. When these few survivors were forced to move to New Rynn City to link up with the other survivors, they were forced to fight many small skirmishes along the way. Many times they had to fight against roving bands of ork buggies and trucks. These fights left a memory in Chapter Master Kantor that would arouse many years later. After Rynn’s World was successfully reclaimed. The Crimson Fists set about rebuilding the chapter. Kantor ordered the chapter Techmarines to adapt one of the few remaining predators found in the aftermath, to aid with any future attacks against ork buggies. The vehicle would be armed with Autocannons to knock out these lightly armoured craft and still remain a threat to ork infantry. The first use of the Decimator variant was in a battle against the Orks in the Loki Sub-sector, with the vehicle scoring many kills on the buggies employed by the greenskins. To this day the Predator “Stinkenheim” has seen many battles against the Orks and has proved successful every time to date. It has earned the Chapter Master’s favour many times and saved his life on more than one occasion. The chapter Techmarines have sent the plans to mars for authentication but to this date there has been no reply. It's only a first draft and need refining A LOT, but I plan on making a datasheet so I can use it in apocalypse games and this will (hopefully) go at the top, like an introduction about it. :) Please tell me what you think.
