There are a couple of models out there for Exorcists, as well as many homebrews.

So my question is what model looks the best?

There is the GW Exorcist. I like this model at first, but now it is looking a little gaudy. It is like the venerable dred and it is just a little too busy. Also, I do not know if an organ gun looks all that good in 40k.

The Forge World Exorcist. This one looks nice and understated (maybe a little too understated). It has a unique looking missile launcher so it does not look like a whirlwind.

The Whirlwind. This is the budget option. The downside it that it does not look unique, and looks like a whirlwind.

The homemade Exorcist. There are a lot of conversion opportunities out there. Using Havoc Launchers, Tau missile systems etc.

What option do you like?

I like the GW one because it doesn't just look like another boring rhino-tank.

Even if you don't go with the whole pipe-organ thing, the metal armour plates make excellent additions to whatever exorcist you choose to go with.

I rather like the GW one. I think the concept is one of the more unique peices they have going.

As far as the actuall model, I own one but I don't think I will ever build another because they are a huge pain in the hass.

I like the FW one myself, stripped down and more "militarized" while still unique. The abysmal service of FW however might lead me to consider other options, though probably the GW one last due to the pain-in-the-butt rep, the $$ and the aesthetic not being my thing.

I don't really care for the GW version. It looks more like Warp Amped Emperors Children rhino to me, and the FW ones are just too expensive. The exorcist I am using is a kit bash using an immolator and a whirlwind. I basicaly take a complete Immolator, move the turret to the back hole of the armored top, and attach the missle sections from a whirlwind turret to the weapon mounts. I did have to cut a piece of plastic to "lift" the turret slightly. When I mounted it, it did not rotate very well.

I have made two of them and they look pretty good. Only problem being the need to buy a whirlwind turret. I was lucky though, someone locally needed a couple rhinos and I bought whirlwinds and sold the rhino parts to him.
