captain sox Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Hey everyone, While I should be working on my LPC, I became inspired to do some converting instead. I've always wanted a Razorback with Twin Linked Heavy Flamers, but no really good options are available. The HF from the Land Speeder Kits is too small. IG Flamers were not really good options either. So I was looking through my bits box and found 2 Flamestorm Cannons from the Land Raider Redeemer. I figured with a little work, these may look about right. I vision the actual weapon to be of larger size, as it it mounted on top of the vehicle. So here are the parts: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/044.jpg We have the 2 Cannons, mounting bracket and a leftover weapon cover from the Land Raider Redeemer. I had to extend the mounting bracket a fair bit to allow for the Flamestorm Cannons: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/045.jpg I did a small modification to the Cannons themselves by placing the canisters at the back: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/047.jpg I dry fit it all together to make dis: http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/048.jpg http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/050.jpg http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/051.jpg http://i430.photobucket.com/albums/qq25/ConductorSam/Warhammer%20stuff/052.jpg I'll glue it all together later tonight. Then I'll need to paint it! A rather simple build... the hardest part was extending the mounting bracket. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Gunzhard Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Well the conversion looks great, except those weapons are really 'flamestorm cannons'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Furyou Miko Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ^^ It looks good. Although, the two Flamestorm cannons are a bit over the top! Personally, for a Flamer Razorback, I'd have just used one on its side and said that it counts as a twin-linked flamer... because hey, it's huge, and double-barreled anyway. Then, that might be coloured by the fact that both my Flamestorm cannon bits are right-hand. >> Still, you've inspired me to make an Immolator using the same theory. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speshtard Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Nice! Razorback 1 - Immolator 0 :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retribution2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 That Razorback looks seriously cool! Looks like an over the top Baal Pred :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyen Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 While I agree that it is a bit over the top I do think it was well thought out and executed. Personally I think for me I would follow the way Pig of Sparta did his though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulTang Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 WOW ... i love this conversion !! ... @ HUGE flamers !! sweeeet. I'm thinkin that it could work ... like if there is no troop cap in the vehicle. There could be a Secondary tank in the chasis ..... that primes the 4 on top.

greatcrusade08 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 ive always like the options for heavy flamers on razorbacjks, especially if youve got a dedicated assault element riding in them.. gives you more reason to get up close and personal nice conversion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
