Of smoke launchers

[Zeller]

Hey folks,

 

I've got 3 predators and none of them have smoke launchers or search lights yet. I'm thinking of mounting the search light on the left side of the turret just below the cupola. I've seen smoke launchers mounted under the two planes on the bottom half of the turret to either side of the gun but the angle is too horizontal for my taste. Hull mounting is out of the question as well.

 

I glued one launcher onto the top of my Baal turret just behind the periscope this morning but it prevents the cupola from rotating 360 degrees. It might be changed.

 

Where are you folks mounting your lights and launchers? Pictures would be great.

 

Thankyou.

I normally mount my smoke launchers on the left or right side of the turret, aligned vertically.

 

Kinda like this:

As far as searchlights... meh, I often don't put them on, unless there's a place that screams "Put a giant light here!"

I don't like the Imperial smoke launcher, as the tubes never look right where the two halves join together, so I use the Chaos launcher, mounted on the rear right sloped track guard.

Also, with the Chaos ones, you can drill out one of the tubes so that it looks like it's been fired.
