2gud2bbad Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hello, I'm planning to add 3 Rhinos to my World Eaters Traitor force, time stage Istvaan III. Do i have to use the Deimos Pattern ones to stay historically correct or are the ordinary GW Rhinos also okay? I already trough several articles and could't find an answer, perhaps i missed out on something. Can anyone assist me? would be delighted. Happy holidays and new year from Austria Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317563-question-about-heresy-era-rhinos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Both are fine! The normal 40k style ones ('Mars pattern') were not as common as the Deimos, but did exist and were used by the Legions. There is an Iron Warriors Mars Pattern rhino featured in Book 3: Extermination.

DuskRaider Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Yeah... Honestly, if FW was trying to dissuade the use of GW tanks, they wouldn't make Legion doors for them. You can even mix and match parts to make other "patterns". Or at least some diversity.

Charlo Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I'm trying to use all of the old school RT style Rhinos. They look nice and old!

RandomMarine Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Its a general rule that all gw plastics that are legal vehicle wise are just mars pattern variants. Gw plastics are mass produced inferior versions of the fw resin in IRL and in game Wonder if that was intentional?

Quixus Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I don't think so. The original rhino was a mass produced inferior plastic deimos pattern rhino. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317563-question-about-heresy-era-rhinos/#findComment-4262236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Loss Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 It's quite clever really. This way, 30k maintains its unique aesthetic - and you are encouraged to use weapons/vehicles from the era that you are playing in - but can still use your plastic tanks if you don't want to fork out the money.

Darog Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Both are fine! The normal 40k style ones ('Mars pattern') were not as common as the Deimos, but did exist and were used by the Legions. There is an Iron Warriors Mars Pattern rhino featured in Book 3: Extermination. They are both common, but for heresy era Deimos is slightly more common. After Istvaans actions Mars is more common.
