The Grim Badger Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hi folks! Just wondering what the general consensus out there is on Rhino models? Do people prefer to use the Deimos Pattern, or the standard plastic GW version with Legion specific doors? From my knowledge, the 40k Rhino chassis existed in 30k, but I'm wondering how wide spread it would have been... This boils down to the fact that I have 3 or 4 standard Rhinos and I'm trying to decide whether I reuse them with legion doors, or whether I go whole hog and buy up a similar number of Deimos. All opinions welcome :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308623-rhino-which-do-you-use-in-your-30k-list/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Either the Deimos or the GW plastic one are fine (the GW one is the Mars pattern) - there is artwork in Extermination of the Iron Warriors using Mars pattern Rhinos and I think there is a predator aswell. The Deimos was used more than the Mars as it was meant to be much better mechanically although there is no rule difference between the two patterns - For the record I will be using the Mars pattern vehicles, cheaper :P I do want a Scorpius Whirlwind at some point but that might look a bit weird being the only Deimos chassis in my armies!

nevindar Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Given that the RH1-N-0 was one of the most commonly distributed STCs to the myriad of settlers that founded human colonies across the galaxy, a lot of versions of the chassis existed. Mars and Deimos are just two, and are equally fine to use. If you feel like going the extra mile, just add some plasticard and make yours more unique. I don't know anyone who would fault the use of a Mars pattern over a Deimos other than just prefering the look of either or.Reyner: Thought of converting up the Stalker to utilise some kind of missile launchers similar to the ones on the Scorpius? Shouldn't be too hard and.. it would fit the theme of Mars patterns better!//Nevindar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308623-rhino-which-do-you-use-in-your-30k-list/#findComment-4068184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

infyrana Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I happen to have some of the old 90's plastic rhinos I felt were a better and cheaper choice for me. The Scorpius is that little bit different that I think it will fit fine if I decide to get one. Once painted with the more typical 30k weathering I reckon they'll all fit in.

Onehip Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is good to know, since I have a few GW rhino's lying around!

The Grim Badger Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is good to know, since I have a few GW rhino's lying around! Saves me some $$$$$$$$$$$$$ My thoughts exactly, Onehip! I've got something like 5 of the blessed things in an old GW case with my marine army from who knows when... thankfully back then I was also a very lazy painter, and my scheme was undercoat black with a couple of details picked out... kinda ideal to start working on!

Thanks If you can get hold of just the Scorpius Launcher and top plate (either through nefarious means or just buying the kit and selling the Deimos Rhino) than the top section fits onto the top of a rhino with just the clipping on an aerial or two. I use 7 Rhino Chassis to field a variety of interchangeable Razrobacks, Whirlwins, Hyperios and Scorpius tanks.
