Rapier Thudd Gun?


Recommended Posts

I have a rapier with a graviton cannon, but I'm not sure it fits the theme of my death guard so I was thinking of replacing the actual graviton cannon with a thudd gun, but I'm not sure whether the thudd gun from fw will fit on the rapier, what do you think?

I have an unassembled Thudd gun and a rapier chassis that doesn't have the laser destroyer attached yet.  A Thudd gun  doesn't fit without some modification.  The rear side ammo drums won't fit into the rapier chassis.  The barrels will fit through the shield thingy in front though, so you could either cut off those ammo drums or use some plasticard to widen the space between the treads.  I'd suggest the former and I think it would look ok, though I can't tell for certain.

 

I seem to remember someone emailing Forgeworld shortly after the Graviton Cannon and Quad Heavy Bolter were released and asking if they planned to add a Thudd gun option.  The response at the time was that they had no plans to add it and considered the combination of Thudd gun kit and Rapier kits to be a "good enough" way if players want to field it.  That would have been a long time ago though, so maybe their plans have changed?  I wouldn't count on it though.
