rat of vengence Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Hey all, I am building my SoB force, and am wondering if anyone has come up with a great way of modelling Exorcists. I have seen that Whirlwind missile 'pods' can be used with the normal heavy flamer turret, but those missile parts seem hard to get cheaply, and I don't need more rhinos! What have you guys come up with? I am looking for both cool and cheap, so I have set the bar high for this one :sick: RoV Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184691-modelling-options-for-exorcists/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marid Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 The Whirlwind exorcist is the cheapest and most straightforward, but unless you're running an arbites list, is rather dull and unsatisfactory. The organ pipe look is very cool, IMO. I would think it would be possible to build your own with styrene tubes and and then add odd bits to taste.

panbient Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 if you know someone who plays Chaos you might be able to score some spare havoc launchers. a pair of those would do the trick.

Commander Sasha Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Regular model aircraft shops do upgrade kits; I bought the options kit for a current USAF plane, which had 30 odd different rockets etc, in pairs or quads, so that your original plane could be loaded with any of the current air-to-whatevers. This kit has done all my HKs, DP whirlwinds, a few objective markers, plus all sorts. Only cost about a fiver, too.

silversmith82 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 I still say the FW version of the Exorcist is pretty sweet. Unfortunately GW is not cheap and the =][= armies are the worst of the bunch being almost all metal.

Apogee Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Simplest I found was to use 6 of the old-style hunter-killer missile pods glued into a 'box' formation, 2x3. Pretty simple, and I had a bunch left over from other vehicles. You could do it with the new ones too, if you were creative.

Unfortunately GW is not cheap and the =][= armies are the worst of the bunch being almost all metal. odds are the FW version doesn't ship with bent pieces either. i LOVE how the base for my pipe organ is warped and doesn't actually fit over the plastic base...

rat of vengence Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks for the replies all. I have seen this done with HK missiles, but it would be even boxier than the Whirlwind version, and that is not so much a look I am after. I may have to consider the styrene tube conversion, if nothing else it will get peoples attention. Though just occured, maybe I should rig a MP3 player for it, play some of that heavy Bach organ material... Da da da daaaaa, da da da DAHHHHHHHH etc :) I just might do this. Press play the first time I fire it, and see the look on the opponents face...

Eltnot Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Go to the US's website and buy them from there. I haven't checked lately, but they used to be around the $50US which even with the postage is around $70-$80AUS. Much better then the $110 or whatever they cost now from GW Australia.
