Help! I simply refuse to use the metal tankbusta models to build my tankbustaz,Ive used the rokkits and other bits on the basic boyz and loota/burnaz sprue to build 6 tank bustaz so far,but I could realy use some ideas/links for scratch building a few more rokkit launchers.
I've considered making some GS rokkits and fixing them onto some modified shootahz but I'm not sure if I want to go that way.
So,any Ideas guys,I could really use some help.
Thanks

the actual rokkit is the only hard part - once you have that, you can stick it on the end of almost any tube-like launcher, e.g. I've seen converted burnas and shootas used.
Rokkits I've used include:
- the front half of the missiles from the old IG vehicle sprue (the same could be done with the new one)
- marine missle launchers (if you have a lootas army)
- that weird WHFB Imperial multiple rocket launcher, can't remember its name
- 1/48 scale aircraft rockets and missiles from a kit at my local model shop

Thanks Clang,I've got a few GS rokkits on the go and am going to attempt to build the launchers from some plastic rod/shootas and some guitar strings.

Use a shoota and chop off the magazine. Greenstuff the edge shut and then use a bit of tube to use as a base off of the end the shoota. Use your greenstuff on the plastic tube. I've seen one converted like that with a plastic sucker stick.

I converted some Deffcoptas from BR into the Big Shoota option, and have a lot of extra rokkit fronts .. so maybe if you have the models lying around you can do the same..

good point, the koptas only include the rokkit tips, but that's all you need for a rokkit launcher boy
