Rangaman Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I've been working on an Armoured Spearhead force for a tournament coming up in November, and although the force is nearly complete, I can't for the life of me figure out where to put the Hunter-killer missiles on the tanks. I suppose I am curious at this point, do people actually attach the missiles to their tanks or can we assume that they are so small that they can easily be hidden under a launch hatch or something similar built into the hull of the tank?

Jolemai Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 If your tournament is WYSIWYG then I doubt you can get away with saying they are "pop-up". On most recent GW vehicles, they attach to a hatch but the older ones (Guard style) pretty much go on anywhere you can fit them.

Charlo Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Just magnetize a marine with a missile launcher to the top of your tanks. Forge the narrative.

Epher Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I would recommend one of the hatches. You don't have to glue your hatches down so could add or remove the missiles as needed.

Cloud Runner Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm going with two options on mine (when I add them) 1. Add a pin in the bottom of the launcher, and have them positioned on the top hull so they can pop on or off 2. Have them as 'stowage' on the vehicle so that they could be pulled out when required - and because it'd look cool. LoS could be an issue, but only against those types of opponents - you could always take it from the cupola weapon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/326933-hunter-killer-missiles-and-where-to-actually-put-them/#findComment-4534583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 I guess i already knew the answer to my question :/ The Deimos preds have such little space to mount one without it looking realistic and the Proteus is already crowded... Thanks for the feedback guys!
