Death Dealer 101 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hi everyone I have just been surfing the net and found individual vindicator side armour sprues and was wondering does anyone use them to bulk out their rhino/razorbacks. This is without the top and front armour. I probably wouldn't use them as extra armour but just for looks. Any pictures, comments, suggestions would be helpful. Also does anyone have any experience with the forge world land raider spaced and reinforced armour, do you recommend it as a good product. Was thinking about using this to add more size and bulk to a land raider redeemer/crusader. Sorry mods i think this should be in the PAINTING, CONVERTING and ARTWORK Modelling Tutorials section, if so thanks inadvance for moving it.

wokkers Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 i use the FW extra armor on most of my vehicles and it looks great. resin can be a pain to work with the first time but once you used to it, its good stuff. i've not built one of the new vindi models, so i can't help you there ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175282-vindicator-side-armour-on-rhinos/#findComment-2071606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortsonfire79 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'll be buying full Vindicator kits when I need Rhinos from now on. I'll be using the extra armor (front-top-sides) on it, without the cannon. It just needs a bit of work on it. If you look in the Apocalypse book, The Mentor Legion army (Spikey James) has a Vindicator without the Dozer Blade. Thats what it would look like, but with the Dozer and without the cannon.

Scott-S6 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The vindicator side armour is very similar to the forge world extra armour - little difference between them. If you can ge the vindicator panels for the same price or cheaper then go for it!

The_Chaplain Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 yeah, I know for a fact that it looks like some hardcore business. I want to ultimately have vindie side armor, immolator tops and scratchbuilt old school razorback turrets for all my transports. If you can find a place to snag the side armor cheap, pm me a link I'd appreciate it.

Messanger of Death Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have also been curious about the Vindicator extra armour. Like the box comes with the normal rhino chassis but does it come with the top and front panel? Simply put is the Vindicator box identical to a Rhino box but with the extra vindicator stuff? Cheers, Messanger N.B. thought it would be better if asked in this thread rather than create a whole new one.

Will turn out to be alot cheaper if I just go with Vindicators then since conversion rates and shipping and handling for forge world bits gets expensive. Another question...is the dozer blade a completely separate piece. Or is it attached to the extra armour?

jester262 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I've done that myself. I won't be buying regular rhinos any more. Just vindicators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175282-vindicator-side-armour-on-rhinos/#findComment-2071832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander alexander Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The side panels are very cool looking, and can be easily magnatized to come on and off, via normal sponson/door magnetation. And yes the vinicator comes with your standard rhino sprues, but it also has like three sprues of its own, some of the stuff is pretty cool, and who doesnt like a huge 'dozer blade to put on the front of their tank? :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175282-vindicator-side-armour-on-rhinos/#findComment-2071916 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Chaplain Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 here's a pic of a rhino with the side armor by the way. http://i682.photobucket.com/albums/vv187/ostian/awesomerhino.jpg The source of this image came from questionable ground, don't go there unless you have a cold, black heart.
