Anyone out there got a Hades Breaching drill?

I need a comparison pic of the dill end with the front of a rhino. Im planning on an AdMech Termite conversion and this would really help!

Anything would be greatly appreciated, thankyou!!

That should be the image, with a model for comparision.

I would estimate the Hades drill to be about 2.5" wide. A Rhino is about 3.5" wide.

It looks like a freakin' meat grinder and is about as large as one of those dune buggy cars the IG got in Imperial Armor 8 (tauros?). Think warbuggy but slightly longer.

Thanks for the replies guys....

... but if anyone out there has a hades and a rhino, it would be great if you could snap a pic of the two together.

Thankyou!!

I know this is not what you are after but found a pic of it next to a Death Rider... gives a good idea of size...

Thanks for the pics guys. I think i'll just go ahead and buy it anyway! Its a cool enough piece that it doesnt matter if it doesnt fit!

If i do get round to doing a conversion i'll put a link here.

Before you go buying a Hades Drill, it's worth taking a look in your nearest toy store to see if they have something you can pillage for the drill blades.

Thats a good idea, i might do that. Thanks!!

try these

Thanks for the link but i've seen them already, wanted to go for something more akin to a burrowing tank than a burrowing drop pod.

Thanks anyway!

Put it in my thread but here it is in yours...



Its alots smaller than I thought it would be. Sorry, I only have a Rhino in bits... but took pic next to a Basilisk

If you need any other Angles let me know

Thats cool, ive got a bassie as well!

Yeah it is pretty small. Could you take a pic front on, and one from the top, with the fronts touching?? (if that makes sense!)

That would be really helpful, cheers!

Sorry for crappy pics, my Camera is out of Batteries :(

Are these the Angles you were after?

Good enough comparison.
Track width on a chimera hull is close enough to the same on a rhino.

About the size of one of the Tauros vehicle (buggies for guard) from IA.

Yeah that helps a lot thanks!

Got a good height on them, would probably need to double up to fit the width of a rhino though.

Suddenly my Admech termites are lookng mighty expensive at 2 Hades and a Rhino per vehicle!!

There are quite a few toys on the market with drill ends (pick one of the 'battlemachines" toys kids play and odds-on they'll have one in the range somewhere.)

It shouldn't necessarily cost you that much - unless you are hamstrung by only being able to play in a GW, or your only opponents have "GW blindness" (can see nought bar GW products).

Tis a good point sir!

I just really like the look of that particular drill head

Now if i can just figure out how to do resin casting...

Nah, just joking. I'll have a look on ebay or something, cheers for the advice!
