Darkseer Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Just been looking through horus heresy stuff. What's the deal with the Thunder Rhino? It seems to be some kind of fast, lightly armoured and open topped Rhino! Who the heck came up with this and why can't we have them now?

Brother Nathan Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 probably because the same reasons we cant have jetbikes... Also i think ive hers of somethng similar that the thousand sons use but power with soccery too. And wolves like to keep their feet on the ground. sounds more of a ravenguard thing.

Moongob Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 You have a pic of a thunder rhino (with wolves on it) in the Horus Collected Visions. Tempus Fugitives group had made rules for their Age of Emperor campaign: 45 pts for a 11 Front 10 Side 10 rear Fast, OpenTop, Tank Capacity 10 places) (They have made a second version same profil but Capacity 6 places and 6 outside place who force you to make dangerous test for them if you go fast) We can't have it anymore cause like many others technologies, the knowledge have been lost during the heresy.

Growler67 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Who the heck came up with this and why can't we have them now?

Natanael Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 If I recall correctly there were just a few of them done, and the Wolves were one of the Legion with most of 'em. I guess they became lost as everything else, or ppl realised that riding without roof and no helmets was no good against enemies with guns :P - Nat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224168-thunder-rhinos/#findComment-2681021 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Wilhelm Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 The Tempus forum does some great work and I recommend downloading their packs. The artwork, rules and fluff is all tip top. I just keep hoping they do the Damocles Gulf Crusade again.... *prays* If I recall correctly there were just a few of them done, and the Wolves were one of the Legion with most of 'em.

LoneSniperSG Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 We can't have it anymore cause like many others technologies, the knowledge have been lost during the heresy. 'Cause it's so hard to take the Jaws of Life to a Rhino and cut the top off. Sometimes the Imperium is so retarded it exhausts me.

Darkseer Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I always wondered why Mjolnir's rhinos didn't have hatches. Turns out they're Thunder Rhinos. I think I'll just stick with the regular Rhino and convert it in my own special way.

MaveriK Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 the best way to represent a thunder rhino? someone ask me! I can't believe people don't see what I see. Its scary! someone lock me up! I'm not allowed to touch miniatures or do convertions anymore! I see dead pixels........

Darkseer Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I think I'd take your Rhino conversion and build on it. Or rather...strip it down even more! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224168-thunder-rhinos/#findComment-2681988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I can't believe it's not butter! but I think the BEST representation of a Thunder Rhino is nothing but a Repressor tank upgrade from Forge World.

LoneSniperSG Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Saw a couple pictures online. Now I realize a Thunder Rhino is just like a friggen SALAMANDER vehicle. How is that so hard for the Imperium to make? FREAKING RETARDED MECHANICUS.

MaveriK Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've considered the Salamander, my only gripe was that its, vehicle/rhino was not long enough to make it look good. A reason why I suggested the Repressor tank, only because it fits nicely on the rhino apc. But I guess if you just use the Salamander top, and put rhino apc sides it will work! I thought about it before... I just didn't have the bits to do it ^_^ --EDIT-- my iphone doesn't like forums Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224168-thunder-rhinos/#findComment-2682036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkseer Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 I'm convinced you could get 8 models into an open topped Rhino, which is everything I need. Here's a photo from the book http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn121/AMBSphotobucket/space%20wolves/thunder_rhino.jpg It's a cool concept, but for regular game play (when you have to use it as a regular Rhino), you're a bit screwed because your guys can't disembark out of the sides, as there are no side doors.

MaveriK Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 yea, the Collected Vision's book is always an inspiration for me. It's going to be a tight fit with 8 models... the only way to make it possible is to widen the body.

I always love how the old-school Rhinos are now considered the Heresy era ones.
