Godhead Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I bought 3 new predators, and I was having a bit of buyers remorse because I had intended to make them predator destructors, but then started worrying about if I decided my list won't play that way I hope then im stuck with 3 predator paper weights. I knew that I could easily magnetize the sponsons, but I was having some issues with the turret. Since I had just bought 3, I figured I needed to find a way to equip a TLLC into the turret too so I could run an annihilator or three, saving me from the wrath of the wife. After a few hours of thinking about what I could do, or what i could buy, where I could get it from, I decided to bust out my dremel and shave notches into the sides of the turret allowing me to "screw" the weapon in. I am pretty happy with the results, I also ended up magnetizing the sponsons so I can put rhino doors on and I have 3 BRAND NEW RHINOS/PRED Destructors/Annihilators. Totally happy with my purchase.

CainTheHunter Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Had the same problem recently. Ended with having glued the AC on the turret and making swappable sponsons. I intend to grab some extra turret on e-bay and make the Annihilator variant.

Taeken Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Very nice. I love conversions like that. And magnets are fun. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205371-so-i-just-bought-3-predators/#findComment-2450280 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerwulf Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I magnetized the turrets without problems. I cut of the knobs that hold the weapon, drilled a 3 mm hole in both sides, where the knob used to be. put 3 mm (1/8 inch if I remember correctly) into the holes I drilled, as well as the existing holes in the turret (fit perfectly). the only problem is, that the turret slides down sometimes, but I put some weight at the back end of the turret which helped. Oh, and I did this after I glued the turret together. So I just pried open the turret with a hobby knife, which worked pretty well.

Godhead Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Just got all 3 put together. I am soooooo excited. I'll get pics up as soon as I find the usb cable for my phone. (I guess I could just pull out the sd card though). I ran out of magnets. I need to go pick up some more tomorrow so that I can finish up magnetizing all the lascannons for the sponsons.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 I have 3 BRAND NEW RHINOS/PRED Destructors/Annihilators. Don't forget about Razorback. I tend to buy the Predator kit for my Razorbacks, just preffer the turret look to be honsty. Then if you got a Land Raider the heavy bolter from that sort out that weapon chose (well for me, still use a Predator turret with the weapon cut off & replace then left over Baneblade Heavy Bolter). http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Space%20Wolves/DSC06906.jpg http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Space%20Wolves/DSC06905.jpg This is why I'll pretty much buy Predators over the Rhinos/Razorback kits now. Sure it cost a little bit more, but in the long run it dose help.
