ShinyRhino Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Has anyone bought or converted a Damocles Command Rhino? I already won plenty of Rhino bodies, and don't want to buy another one just for the Damocles. In the past, you could buy just the upgrade kit from Forgeworld. Now, you can only get the complete kit. I'm not fond of the idea of spending 34GBO+shipping for the whole thing, since I won't use the Rhino part. Are there any good GW-made bitz that would make for a suitable radar dish replacement? If you have the FW kit, what are the approximate measurements of the dish (span and height)? Anyone already convert one, and have some pics?

lhg033 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 looking at the FW kit the optics/lenses: a hunter killer lense would suit one side and possible a landraider sponson one would do the other. no idea on the size of the dish there is a aquilla shaped dish and relay kit for guard on the apocalypse command tank sprue that might work though it will be smaller than the FW kit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265250-damocles-rhino/#findComment-3232125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperorOfMankind Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I would suggest getting This The top half should fit nicely, plus if you want to get some missile platforms you already have the command platform Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265250-damocles-rhino/#findComment-3232228 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhg033 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 thats what i was trying to find earlier and for the life of me couldnt (was looking under the guard section mainly for some reason). agree it is taller but maybe you could get away with teaming it with vinidciator or SoB rhino add ons to mitigate the chunkiness. or just use the dish (magnetise it to swap between the rhino and the platform maybe) from this and build your own turret mount.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 well it's what I'll be using when I get one for my missile systems anyway. As you said, can't justify the cost of another rhino just for the turret Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265250-damocles-rhino/#findComment-3232745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
