FW missile launcher size relation: Deredeo vs. Hyperios

[Kua]

Question is topic title.

What is bigger, the thing a Deredeo Dreadnought has on its top, or the Hyperios launcher a Whirlwind or a weapon platform can take?

Are there any pictures one could tell from?

I have no picture, but the Deredeo is a bit bigger. Anyway, if you wanna use it on a Rhino chassis it should work very well too.

EDIT: No, i've said something wrong based on a picture I've seen once that actually was a photomontage. Here a true pic:

Plastic Whirlwind Launcher, LR Helios Launcher, Deredeo Aiolos Launcher, Whirlwind Hyperios Launcher.

I knew that the FW Helios launcher was small but I had no idea it was that small in comparison. Mind you, that was a long time before the plastic Whirlwind was released. The Aiolos launcher looks surprisingly good on a Rhino chassis.

What kit is the whirlwind hyperios launcher in? Or was it something from FW?

 

I bought a space marine hunter to use as a scorpius but I think that big launcher would look good with some jerry-rigging in place of that AA gun.

The Whirlwind Hyperios is / was a FW kit.

I doubt it did sell well as it was only an AA variant of the normal Whirlwind without anything special so most people just used their normal models.

It's a FW kit that is still being sold, it can also be bought as part of a Tarantula Air Defence battery. As the Hyperios in 8th, it has the longest AA range at 72 inches, indirect fire, and is a heavy 2d3, as a Tarantula battery it's 48" D3 but I'd say costed appropriately. I meant to add the whirlwind and Hyperios launchers are scaled to fit into the large rhino hatches, the Helios is small hatch scale (front of rhinos, and top panels on LR) and the Aiolos launcher is it's own small evens smaller mount (about half of standard hatch size), but it looks like it kitbashes pretty well from the picture Ezr91ael posted. Too add to any considered options, Kromlech also makes some missile launcher turrets, and one that looks like an updated 40K scorpius launcher.

Thank you Bung and NovermberIX!

 

Going to go do some bits hunting for that launcher. If not I’ll get that tarantula air defense battery in the future.

From there get it to fit on the hunter’s hatch.

[Kua]

Yep, thank you all for helping!

 

No, I'm not gonna put it on a rhino. It is part of some planing for an SM “MadCat”/“Catapult” counts-as Deredeo on a Stormtalon basis.

Therefore I'll need a Hyperios launcher but I got confused whether the original Deredeo one would fit as well/better. It obviously won’t.
