Mortifis Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 As some of you may be aware, I'm falling behind in my race to paint my army before I play in some tournaments in October. Due to the peculiar way I decided to mount the weapons on my Land Raiders, I was left with a slight dilemma - normal Hurricane Bolters won't fit the Razorback turret top-piece. So I had to invent my own version, as follows. Lascannon sponson/turret, for reference: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370395.jpg So after some chopping and slicing, more on the plastic than myself thankfully, I came up with the following: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370398.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370396.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370403.jpg And here's what it looks like "on" a Land Raider: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370400.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370401.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370405.jpg Last shot to compare the "height" of the gun turret to a Lascannon. While being a little chunkier, I'm fairly satisfied with the results. Then I got carried away, and wanted to see what it would look like on a Razorback: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v347/Cauldron__born/Deathwing/SL370399.jpg I know its not currently an option, but how cool would that be?!?! Anyway, C+C appreciated on the design, its still a work in progress... I'll go do some work painting the Raider itself and see if I still like this thing tomorrow :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/177368-converted-hurricane-bolters/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGC Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 That's quite a novel idea, could always proxy it as Twin Linked ACs but the idea of a Hurricane Razorback would be awesome. i.m.o the height is a bit too much. Is there anyway of building them stacked three on three and mounting the sighting system on the side??

Brother Mordeus Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Dude, this is epic. This really looks cool. I agree with DCG, its a bit high, maybe you should put the targeting system on top of the gun pod, rather than on the side.
