SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Fellow Converters, Has any one converted a Predator turret to "Executioner" before. My idea is below. Any hint, tips, ideas would be welcome Thanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291106-predator-executioner-turret/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercus Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 That's a great idea. Have you considered magnetising it so you can swap out the weapons? Although the plasma cannons are hollow, you could use a piece of sprue to attach the magnets.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Yeah, my thought was to place magnets at the sawn off ends of the turret. Then magnetise the two las cannons (will have to get another one for the mod) and the whole executioner turret.

DasPanzerIstUber Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not a great photo but this is my conversion, using the Leman Russ plasma cannon: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291106-predator-executioner-turret/#findComment-3688241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not a great photo but this is my conversion, using the Leman Russ plasma cannon: Going to try this but with the old metal round turret. Good to see it works with the plastic kit. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291106-predator-executioner-turret/#findComment-3688359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thats a great conversion, I have see a few of these on google. SW1 - post a pic when you've done it. I am doing mine with the SR PC as they are spare bits I already have. I will post pics when I have cut n shut it.

Raztalin Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I have used the Turret from the SR kit and the 2 Plas Cannons from the Land Speeder Vengeance - I liked the over size look and the DA iconography.

NovemberIX Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think it's a solid idea, what about using the housing from a Baal predator kit? It should cover up most of the cuts and joins while also looking like a 40k take on the Deimos pattern. http://i.imgur.com/u7zgIGX.jpg Maybe a side by side size comparison will help you decide on your design.

It should cover up most of the cuts and joins while also looking like a 40k take on the Deimos pattern. Btw if you want measurements for the Deimos plasma lemme know.I found a TLLC from forgeworld, on ebay, If I win that I will convert that instead. It looks like the turret from the executioner, but with TLLC. Just looked, its the forgeworld deimos pattern predator. I did think of the baal turret, it would be much easier, no need for plasticard. After doing a play around with the pic of the scale PC and turrets, I now have a much better idea of where to cut and file the cannons and the turrets. Thanks.

NovemberIX Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Is it the turret and gun? Or just the gun alone? The turret piece itself fits the IVb predator with a tiny bit of pushing. http://i.imgur.com/7ppXnKV.jpg Like so. I will say it does either sit too far forward or back compared to a full Deimos kit and with a small gap due to the turret mounting lip on the hatch, but it's nothing too bad, also given the shorter length of your main gun it should line up about right.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice tanks, very nice. Its just the gun, so will need some adjustments to fit the standard predator turret. I might not win it, not going to go crazy, my original plan will suffice. Thanks for all pics they will help a great deal. After having a play with your true scale pic, I have a much better idea of where to cut and file the PC and the turret. Thanks.

Warsmith Aznable Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'm working on a conversion right now, and I haven't got to the turret yet, but I've got the leman russ bits for the plasma destroyer. I don't want to use the modern turret because I want something round like the kit, but I have no idea what to use for a hemispherical base. If anybody has any ideas for what to use as a base, I'd like to hear them.

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 I like it , your Techmarine is to be praised. It's suitably over the top for a army of super human soldiers such as the Adeptus Astartes. Crusade on Brother.

SW1 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 SW1, that predator turret conversion is flippin' brilliant. Cheers mate. Now trimmed off the bit that sticks out the back. Think it won't need much more tweaking. There will be many of these appearing shortly as reinforcements. Just tweaking the propagation protocols. Just need to get all the metal turrets cleaned up to accept the weapon upgrades. Lol ... I'll then need to 'fix' all the oop old school rhino tanks to fit them on.

Just need to decide if I should stick some power cells on the back of the turret.
