Yajirobe Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi,I have some kits laying around based on the MkII (modern) rhino chassis.Now, would it be ok for me to use those in a HH army?I guess what I really want to know is, were they in use during the heresy?I have been googling around but I can't find an answer to when the MkII rhino was first used.So far the only thing I've found that points to it being ok is that on the ForgeWorld site, if you go to the Horus Heresy section, you can find the square doors that only fit on MkII Rhinos.Does anyone know?

Noserenda Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 They were indeed around during the heresy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282977-mkii-rhino-chassis-in-the-gc-hh/#findComment-3515939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
facmanpob Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'm doing a MkIVb Predator as part of my Loyalty & Treachery event vow (which is based on the same Rhino chassis you are asking about) and no-one has made a point about that, so I'd say you're fine.

SillyDreadnought Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 A rhino is a rhino. Use whatever model you prefer! It's not like the design has changed in 10,000 years since the Heresy.

Elazar The Glorified Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 There's at least one pictured in the Betrayal book from Forge World so properly legit! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282977-mkii-rhino-chassis-in-the-gc-hh/#findComment-3516287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'd say go for it, but remember that Storm Bolters weren't in service during the Great Crusade/HH. If you can, try to model the twin-linked bolters that the Deimos Rhinos have.

GhostMalone Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 So tartaros terminators don't have storm bolters ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282977-mkii-rhino-chassis-in-the-gc-hh/#findComment-3516547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 So tartaros terminators don't have storm bolters Indeed they do not. Legion Tartaros Terminator Power Axe set containing 5 power axes, a power sword and 5 combi-bolters. That's not to say their combi-bolters aren't a predecessor to storm bolters and aren't visually similar to them. But if the OP has a couple spare bolters laying around and thinks he can do a decent looking conversion with them and the hatches, then I think it's an option worth pursuing. If not, storm bolter is close enough. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/282977-mkii-rhino-chassis-in-the-gc-hh/#findComment-3516552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuskRaider Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Mk. II Rhinos sure are acceptable. Forge World even makes Legion doors for them, so I'd say you're safe.
