Terkael Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hello folks, I have started a renegade Imperial Fists army and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on building a thunderfire cannon from scratch?Mostly I am looking for a good set of treads as a base. I have looked around the internet a bit and have seen the jotunn heavy hailstorm cannon but it does really suit my needs. Thanks in advance!

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 + I'm going to move this over to the PCA subforum; you'll probably get a lot more suggestions over there. + Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308887-diy-thunderfire-cannons/#findComment-4075472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timotheus Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, some of these suggestions here are almost more expensive than the GW model. I bought this model from german ebay: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Warhammer-40k-alternative-Salvenkanone-der-Space-Marines-/131518300328?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_77&hash=item1e9f1a00a8. It's very cheap and almost perfect as a stand-in. I did some customisation to it (which isn't necessary actually) and came out with this: http://oi60.tinypic.com/5wi3yf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308887-diy-thunderfire-cannons/#findComment-4087584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Xeones Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I haven't tried this myself, but I'd like to see someone convert the tracked chassis of some of the new Kataphron Battle Servitors into TFCs. They'd be about the right size wouldn't they? Perhaps pair them with the turrets from a stalker (modify the gun barrels or just leave them as-is), and you'd have a nice facsimile, I'd think.
