Not going to be much elevation going on with that gun without a taller opening in the forward shield.

Im going to make a tank hunter out of this . Thats why I didn't make any room for the for the gun to raise up . . It's going to be a fun conversion I think .

That thing is going to be a beast.

I'd like to do enclosed hulls on some basalisks, so I'm curious to see how this turns out...

I prefer it without the Russ part on the end of the turret, just doesn't seem to fit as well. But I love the overall design, should turn out great in the end!

Keep it up!

It doesn't seem fit cause engineers don't usually put muzzle brake and bore evacuator together on one gun.

Pretty much nothing in the 40K universe makes sense from a real-world engineering perspecive: so, what is your point exactly?
