AL13N Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ok my Salamander army is in full swing but with Horus Heresy book being release a ton of people are asking to do a campaign. Do you think these will work or are they too corny and old school? http://imageshack.us/a/img441/5161/20121228210652.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img594/1921/20121228210641.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268776-rhinos-for-pre-heresy-what-do-you-think/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think they'll work just fine. You might even get kudos from the older hands for using old school rhinos. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268776-rhinos-for-pre-heresy-what-do-you-think/#findComment-3273820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AL13N Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 I prefer the back door of rhino as its front. The two window look is cool but I like the bulky front look. These are a buddy of mines. He has several and so I figured I would take some off his hands.

Kierdale Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 They look great! The view slits on the first one seem rather low! I always put them in the other way around. Are those side doors terminator bases? If so that's a nice idea!

AL13N Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 no standard bases for normal guys. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268776-rhinos-for-pre-heresy-what-do-you-think/#findComment-3274027 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 no standard bases for normal guys. Ah! I'm a bad judge of size :lol: You lost the original doors, or are planning some freehand on the new ones?

AL13N Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 The bases add a bit of bulk. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268776-rhinos-for-pre-heresy-what-do-you-think/#findComment-3274413 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Of Sparta Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 These were the inspiration for the 'new' Forge World models of the RH1N0 and Predator so I would say that not only could you use them in a Heresy Era army, you can rake in the kudos of owning so many slices of 40k history :P. Although the bases over the hatch opening's aren't entirely my cup of tea (I'd try using plasticard to knock up some hatches) I do see what you mean about them adding bulk, these Rhinos are a little petite compared to the updated ones. Again though, you could use some plasticard to add extra plating or thicken up the existing armour. Either way I can't wait to see these decked out in Nocturne Green Pig of Sparta Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/268776-rhinos-for-pre-heresy-what-do-you-think/#findComment-3274433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaeron Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I think they're entirely appropriate - I do agree with the 'extra armour' suggestions however!
