Monstra Sumus Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 So, I'm planning on using 2 Thunderfire Cannon for my Sons of Medusa project but at £36 per gun that's steep for identical models with little flare. So I'm in the looking to make my own. The idea I had was to use Hunter turrets on Rapier Laser platforms but not sure if the turret will fit? I know that Razorback/Whirlwind turrets do, just not sure on the dimensions of the Hunter top piece. Any one of you kind people with a Hunter know if this would be workable?

MordentHex Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I used FW Quadcannons from the more "thudgun" feel. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289501-converted-thunderfires/#findComment-3651450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hey man, I can't be of any help with the Hunter unfortunately, but wondered if you'd checked out Mantic's Forgefather range? The Hailstorm cannon is actually pretty decent as a Thunderfire counts-as. These are mine undercoated and dry-fit (hence the one on the left looking a bit ramshackle) with the only significant conversion work being to add plasticard tubing onto the gun barrels to make them look like they fire bigger-bore shells. http://i1269.photobucket.com/albums/jj598/Mjolnir771/P1010777_zps3937a1cf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289501-converted-thunderfires/#findComment-3651461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some seriously good looking guns, pretty spot on for the idea I had, I'm very very new to all this plasticard and greenstuff business, what thickness tubes did you use? Anvil Industry has something that will work. I'll go check that out, brother, thank you.

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I'll measure and get back to you mate, they were part of an 'all-sorts' pack of plasticard tubing Gale Force 9 does with all different lengths and dimensions - I'm sure you'll find it easily in a store. Will measure so you know which ones exactly though.
