SickSix Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 So when I used a Puppets War Big Momma cannon to make a Space Marine Vindicator lots of obvious comments were made about the size of the cannon. Comments were also made about how many shells it could carry. That discussion and pictures can be found here. So my idea then was to create a razorback proxy that would be a artillery support vehicle.These are armored ammo carriers that follow self propelled artillery and feed them ammunition while they conduct their fire missions. They look like this. Well with the new Space Marine codex out now I don't really want to spend two months converting a rhino hull with lots of amateur plasticard work. So I have gone with a much simpler path. See pictures below. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/7/4/726068_sm-Conversion%2C%20Razorback%2C%20Rhino%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Support%20Vehicle%2C%20Vindicator.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/7/4/726069_sm-Conversion%2C%20Razorback%2C%20Rhino%2C%20Space%20Marines%2C%20Support%20Vehicle%2C%20Vindicator.jpg So what I couldn't decide on to either glue the top hatch doors open so you can look in from the top or to create vertical doors for the rear and have those glued open. But becuase the access hatch for the BMC is on top of the tank (rear hatch covered by vents) I am going to have the top hatches open. Also it makes more sense because the crane can bend down into the top of the rhino but can't reach down and around into the back of the rhino compartment. So I imagine loading would looks something like this: http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/7/4/726071_sm-vindicator%20support%20tank%20WIP%203.jpg To make it a Razorback I plan to mount a heavy bolter over one of the crew hatches. I will be using one of these: http://bitspudlo.com/products/heavy-cannon-platform What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightHunters Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Love it, always like seeing things like this, personally I would stack the shells vertically as you will get many more in, but if you only have 2 then crack on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 8 rounds. But I didn't like them just sitting on the floor. I like how much more real it looks with him being held by clamps on the side. I wish I could fit more like that but I like it as is. We know that the Emperor blessed Rhinos to hold more than their physical size allows anyways lol.

SickSix Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Well painting has begun. Unfortunately I won't be getting anything else done for the rest of this week. But felt good to lay down some primer and the base coat for the yellow bits. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2015/7/6/726663-Big%20Momma%20Cannon%2C%20Puppets%20War%2C%20Puppetswar%2C%20Vindicator.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighGothic Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 That's a bloody big gun! Best type. Fits the vindicator's profile tbh, although a larger blast template would be more fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psykic_scribe Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Might be useful to add a crane jib to load the support vehicle so that it can load the Vindi ? Great work on the interior and the stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
