SickSix Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 How difficult do you think it would be to convert a Land Raider to use a Repulsor turret? Would a Predator turret be any easier? With 8th edition vehicle rules, the position of weapons doesn't really matter. I think a turreted Land Raider looks great and now would pose no 'modelling for advantage' really.

apologist Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Not that difficult, I don't suppose. The angular nature of space marine vehicles means that it'd be easy to hide the changes necessary to the top. If you google 'King Russ', you'll see a fairly popular conversion from a few years back; which used a Land Raider base to make a bigger Leman Russ. The same principles would apply here, but the way the Repulsor turret attaches to the top of the Repulsor means that there's a ready-built bit to attach to the top of the Land Raider. This'll make things much easier, making the turret easy to move and helping with detailing and 'greebling'. +++ As an aside, there's in-universe precedent, in the form of the Epic 40,000 era Chaos Space Marine Land Raiders – one variant had a turret: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356702-turret-on-land-raider/#findComment-5334544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine God Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I used a Predator Las-Cannon turret and turret ring when I made my Land Raider Terminus Ultra, heck I even put a Baneblade Las-Cannon turret on top of it on the turret hatch.

SickSix Posted July 4, 2019 Author Share Posted July 4, 2019 I did this: https://www.captmagpie.co.uk/2018/08/thunderlord.html That is awesome. I have looked at your predators before. Don't know how I missed this. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356702-turret-on-land-raider/#findComment-5341793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
