Montuhotep Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Okay Gentlefolk, a question: I have a Shadowsword hull that I recently impulse-bought from Ebay in the idea of doing a Super-heavy to go along with my Pre-Heresy World Eaters. It's essentially got everything bar weapons and sponsons. Now, here's the tricky bit. I can't decide what guns to put on the damn thing! I was looking through Escalation but none of the gun fits in there really seemed appropriate somehow, not singular enough for an Astartes vehicle; I thought about copying/pinching one of Machinator's designs and indeed have some of his bits (tracks and engine block) that I will be using but again, I can't fix on one. Effectiveness-wise, one would have imagined either a Stormlord or the Sanctimonia Cruentis would be typical for a close assault force like the WE, but I have plans for both a Stormlord and a Shadowsword for other builds, so I'm really stuck!

Lucien Eilam Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 How about an Inferno gun, using the Malcador Infernus rules. Filling the hull with fuel tanks should be enough to explain the reduced armour and hull points.

Warsmith Aznable Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm using a tutorial I found online to add magnets to the main weapon so it can be any of them. For the hull I glued to craft sticks to the inside that the plate and gun housing sit on so I can move the gun housing to the front or back (no magnets needed for that part.)

Warsmith Aznable Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Here is my blog where I show how I mounted the top pieces of the tank with the craft sticks http://romanticantihero.com/2013/12/09/imperial-guard-super-heavy-wip-1/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291902-need-ideas-for-a-weapons-fit/#findComment-3708411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
