Montuhotep Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Okay, this is going to be part of an idea I have for a buddy of mine; he's currently in the middle of an Afghanistan tour, comes back in June/July and he's putting together a World Eaters force with a couple of Land Raiders in it. I plan to make him another one as a welcome back pressie. Now, there used to be an upgrade in a previous Chaos 'dex for a Khornate vehicle upgrade known as the Destroyer; people used to bolt one on Dreads but I'm thinking one on the front of this 'Raider would look as mean as all get-out. ;) It was generally described as a wicked collection of drills, saw blades and other whirly/cutty things. Dreads used to use Fabius Bile's Chirugeon arms, for example. Snag is that I don't really want to foul the assault ramp but a pair of big rock grinders a la this beastie from Tiberian Sun excite my appetite for all things spiky - especially since the bulk of the vehicle will be a stripped down no-nonsense FW Pre-heresy kit. Anyone got any other ideas? If not, what can I use for this roller? Ork Deff-rollas seem way too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmimellows Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Hail there my friend. You dont have to worry about the rollers blocking the assault ramp if you are using a FW pre heresy raider, as it dosent have an assault ramp on the front like a normal land raider does. I say go for the rollers. It could be tedious but if it were me, i'd chop loads of basic hook shapes from styrene strip then glue them around a styrene tube ( similar to the pattern on the image you supplied) to create a horrific mangling device. Could take a while but would look pretty darn knarly if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ah-a-nothepsis Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 OMG Tiberian Sun, you brought back so many memories. I disagree, and believe the deff-rolla would be perfect, but only if rigged up so that it can move up and down...but I'm known to be a little crazy.

RolandTHTG Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 There's the Puppets war Rolling Slaughter (off brand deff rolla) Link its a bit spikier than the GW one. Wish I could tell you the size, but you may be able to e-mail them to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, not quite clear; this is the Mk 2b, so it does have a ramp, hence the snag.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer le Boucher Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Talking about this? http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Images/Product/DefaultFW/xlarge/dkkdrill.jpg Hades Breaching Drill You could use one of those or make one yourself and use the kind of systeme Bobpanda used for the dozerblades on his Crusader LR http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w313/BobPanda/lordraider/DSCN3181.jpg?t=1235173227 http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w313/BobPanda/lordraider/DSCN3197.jpg?t=1235172945 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmimellows Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ah sorry, I didnt realise you meant the mk 2B, i thought you meant the proteus so i can see the issue now. I think slayer le boucher has hit the nail on the head there, that lifting doser blade idea is very nicely done and i think you could adapt it quite easily to have a pair of rollers on it. (provided you want to of course). Nice stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
