Rangaman Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Recently I have been contemplating running an armoured spearhead Sons of Horus force with allied Knights for bigger games. One thing that I really want to capitalise on is the Landraider Phobos and being the Heresy I want the Landraiders to look suitably utilitarian. With that in mind I had a look at the MkIIb, however I really like the look of the standard Reinforced armour kit as well. My question is has anyone used both the Reinforced armour and the MkIIb sponson armour together? Alternatively, does anyone know of any armour panel parts that would cover the front tracks like the Reinforced kit does?

DuskRaider Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I'm pretty sure it won't work. The sponsors on the Mk. IIb would interfere with the reinforced armour.

nefarious squirrel Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I think you could use the standard FW reinforced armour kit not the spaced armour version. As it fits under the sponson mount. It may make it look very wide! And there would be some gaps at bottom and top. But the front section that covers the track would be fine and rear. Alternatively you could use the track guards off an achilles or the old frag assault launchers to cover the front section of tracks.

Rangaman Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks for the input guys, it won't hurt to order the reinforced armour as well and see how it fits with the MkIIb sponsons. Judging by the various pictures I could find it looks like the sponson may be able to fit right over the armour addons...if not then I can still use the front and back armour plates instead.

Brofist Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I wanted an extra armored front on my Proteus and so I looked into the extra armour kit from the MkIIb. It didn't fit, so I had to scratch build my own: http://i.imgur.com/XhaIocY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/cKJ7gbf.jpg Good luck!
