Vissah Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 THe twin-linked bolter is standard equipment for 35 points, for 5 points extra you can buy one more twin-linked bolter so you get two <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 It's fine, the wargear entry for the Chaos Rhino does not specify where it has to be located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiemnex Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can tell you that if you choose to use that gun in a match or GT that you will get (cuss) over.. Both of the bolters are PINTLE MOUNTED... This means it has a 360 degree firing ark.. That gun you have on the front.. Does not pintle mount and if I measured from that gun to something behind or even beside your tank it would be blocked by the tank itself. With the "true line of sight" rules in 5th edition it would be a huge hinderence.. Again it is your choice model it how you want but it could pose a problem.

He should be perfectly fine in fielding the above vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt have my codex right near by but I was pretty sure it did say it was pintle mounted. Guess I was wrong haha. At anyrate. 4 bolter shots from a transport is pretty nice. The combi weapons are not bad options either when you think about it. Tank shock.. Flamer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
