Heavy Support/Quad Launcher proxy

[Blissful Brushes]

Howdy,

I am looking at having either a heavy support squad or rapier battery in my force. Thematically speaking it’s an assault battalion, so the first company are pure drop pod and the other three companies are jump pack marines. The support company all jump packs) have a heavy support platoon made up of 2 mortar squads (2 x 3 mortar teams), 2 anti-armour squads (2x 3 Lascannon) and 2 anti personnel squads (2 x 3 assault cannon).

 

The mortar teams will be proxying as heavy support squads with missile launchers and the like, but the other two would be either rapiers or heavy support (Lascannon and assault cannon type). 

 

In terms of modelling I’m thinking of getting the special weapons set and combining a pair of rotor cannons to be assault cannons and scratch up a little tripod for a crew-served weapons team (like the cadian sets). One jump marine would be humping the ammo & base and the other the actual weapon.

 

I’ve not actually seen the rotor cannons in person, could I get away with binding a pair or even 3 together as a single weapon for a battery for a crew served weapons team? I think they’d probably go on 60mm bases, so each squad would be 3 60mm
