Spotted on Forgeworld:

While checking out the latest Leviathans in the Studio I also caught sight of a new Space Marine vehicle in development. It looks to me like an older pattern of Damocles Command Rhino for Legion armies, take a look...

Hopefully, we'll see the Whirlwind and Hyperios Deimos patterns (along with some improved rules ala Laser Destroyer Vindicator) soon

I believe Hesh Kadesh was referring to this part of your post...

 ...where I believe you meant whirlwind and hyperios Deimos patterns.

 

I hope the Deimos pattern whirlwind will use the helios turret.

As utterly awesome as your whirlwind looks, I'd rather paint only six missiles per tank. I still can't muster the will to paint my third hyperios turret. tongue.png

Plus, SCC's own whirlwind for his Shadow Force Dragomir is amazing.

Front quarter image - mostly because I couldn't get the camera to focus properly from front on, it kept insisting on focussing on the launcher damn it's tiny little machine-spirit.

Yup, its the whirlwind Scorpius with the launchers swapped out for the Aiolos missile pods - I figure it'd be quite a useful conversion for players with multiple lists, as you could use the same mini as either a normal whirlwind or the scorpius depending on what size game you're playing

For what it's worth the Hyperios missiles on the Primus Redoubt PDF are listed as Heavy 2. Whilst this may well be a typo, it would go a long way towards making the weapon more useful. Perhaps that and a unique rule for the tank would help too.

I'm hoping something more like this:

Though, that conversion...

 

Trying to identify the parts.. the front hatch from the Rhino as the base, spare top hatches as the top and bottom of the launcher and what looks like a Lego brick...?!

You can thank a certain Mr Cottrell for that conversion. And this might help:

The launcher parts are actually the old square bases!
