Tyleesa Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hello, brothers! There is a question that won't let me go... Some time ago forums were full of advices to buy a Razorback model even if you need a Rhino - paying but a little extra you'd get a vehicle that can be both. But today I've decided to actually buy one... and I failed to choose, for the costs of both tanks were equal! Was the Razorback kit changed in a way that a Rhino can't be constructed of it anymore? And if not, is there any reasonable point to ever buying a Rhino kit now? Thank you in advance, brothers...

Bat33.1 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Not sure what GW are up to with this one but the way the frames are moulded you will always get the parts to build a Rhino out of the Razorback box. The turret parts are a separate frame so no reason what so ever to buy a Rhino now the prices are the same.

Forté Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The rhino frame is standard across all the tank kits so can't see them changing it soon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227596-rhino-or-razorback-issue/#findComment-2726768 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDarkSecret Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The prices shouldn't be the same... Well I guess that depends on where you live as your prices much actually be different than the prices in the US. In the us Rhinos are 33 and Razors are 35. Really there is no difference but still some people would rather save the 2. They haven't made any changes to the Razor I buy them all the time for rhinos.

Well, I'm from Russia, and both kits are 1090 rubles. Having checked UK GW site (there they're 20.50 UK pounds each) I've decided the costs are equal from now on...

Wulfebane Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 The rhino frame is standard across all the tank kits so can't see them changing it soon. To avoid confusion, you should specify. Rhino frames are standard for razoback, predator, vindicator, and whirlwind tanks... not say, land raiders, chimeras, or leman russ, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/227596-rhino-or-razorback-issue/#findComment-2726933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalamadea Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 in the US rhino's are $33 and razorbacks are $35, and you should always get a razorback over a rhino for the extra bitz as you can always trade or sell them even iff you don't use them. If they're the same price in your country, doubly so.

slmellon Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 You cant make a razor from a rhino but you can vice versa. I would rather buy a razor and some magnets then buy a rhino and some bits!!!

Tybrus Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just my 2 cents, you should always Magnetize the Doors, and plavced the magnets inside the body, for two reasons. 1) If you have the magnets inside the main hull you can added "extra Armor" from the vindi kit. Nice and easy way to get an armored rhino... 2) If you place mags inside the hull for the doors, then you can magnetize Predator sponsons to it and ,make a predator.
