Another Go At An Exorcist Conversion

[Warsmith Aznable]

A while ago (too long ago) I did an Exorcist conversion:

It has issues, and I wasn't entirely satisfied when I did it. The more I fielded it, the less I liked it.

So this morning I did this:

I'm going to add more detail, but that's the basic idea. Whirlwind parts without it looking like a Whirlwind OR a giant, ridiculous church organ.

Looks good like that

I still prefer Forge World's scorpius exorcist.

Or your first conversion for that matter.

The first conversion didn't look bad, I don't think, it just had issues turning the turret. I've since seen people doing the same thing except with Valkyrie rocket pods. I could have done that, since I actually have those bits on had, but I had gone through the trouble of buying Whirlwind bits and all. I also wanted something a bit more "substantial" looking, I guess. The Exorcist is a powerful presence on the battlefield with its crazy-strong launcher, so I think it should look like it.

What the ....?  How did I reply to the wrong topic?

 

lol

I love the first one!  I would do that for mine but I like the height of the organs.  'FAQ' says line of sight is drawn from any part of the weapon and it happens most of our terrain is just under the height of the organ's top.  So I can see enemy and they can't see me :D

Just found this thread

 

We seem to have hit on much the same idea - just done mine in the last few months

I totally admire your Exorcist. I seriously need to get my second one finished and then both of them painted. As soon as I fail this year's ETL I guess I'm free to work on them...

[Naminé]

Tbh I like both versions you made! The first one needed more iconography like the second one got, though :p

[deathhasdignity]

I added the extra armour just because it really bulked up the hull and next to regular rhino/immies it looks so much more intimidating

 

I plan to field two like this with a GW stock 3rd

Hey folks !

 

I use this thread to ask a question about bits. Do you know where i could find the part you put on rhino's roof with the 2 holes.

 

Because i have the metal pieces of an exorcist (mixed up in a bag with all kinds of sistas, Emperor be blessed), i have a rhino, but that part where u put the orgue backward and the sister forward is missing.

 

Ty for helping !!!

[deathhasdignity]

Comes as part of the immolator sprue

[Solynnor]

It's that thing in the upper right corner that i need. I'll surf the web trying to find it as a bitz :) 

 

Thanks Dhd !

[deathhasdignity]

Immolator bits are not the easiest to get and that bit is sought after

 

GW used to sell the sprue on its own but I'm not sure if they still do

 

Failing that you could buy a immie and sell the rhino sprues on to offset the costs

Yeah, I love making razorbacks (with Forge World turrets) with that specific part. Since it's basically the most important part of the kit, it's extremely hard to find, and usually very pricy when you do. You'll have more luck finding the fleur-de-lys side doors or hatch than it, and they themselves are hard to find.

 

I prefer making rhinos out of vindicators though, like Augustus b'Raass. Though I had already made one before he even started his showcase here.
