(All credit goes to Shrike for the original idea of a uber rhino carrier, I just thought I'd add a sprinkling of Khorne and bake in the Warp for 20 minutes to create this)

Blood Barges of Khorne were first reportedly being seen in action on the hive world Thu'ken during the siege of the main hive. Defenders reported seeing a large blood and rust covered tank the size of two rhinos smashing through the walls and whole sqauds of battle crazed Berserkers pouring out.
The Blood Barge of Khorne is simple but hideously brutal in its working, its trapped Daemon engine drives up through even in the heaviest fire storm and screams in rage as it shoots off its molten brass cannon and swinging its assault ramp down to unleash its deadly cargo within...

Blood Barge of Khorne- 140 points (just a rough estimate)
Bs 3
Transport capacity 15 (may carry multiple units)
Av 12/11/11

It may NOT carry terminators, jump back troops or summoned Daemons.

hull mounted twin linked bolter
two Molten Brass Cannons
Dozer Blade
Daemonic possession
Molten Brass Cannon-
Str4 Ap5 template assault 1 Pinning

Access points:
front assault ramp
4 side hatches

May upgrade the hull mounted twin linked bolter for-
combi bolter +5 points
Reaper autocannon + 20 points
Havoc launcer +15 points

So, C&C welcome, tell me what you think

don't forget the assault ramp.

my bad

Where does the Dozer blade go if there's an assault ramp. Surely it's either one or the other.

Other than that, it's nice. Are you going to model it?

Also, Shrike, what was that quote for?

I made acouple of mistakes and forgot to add afew things, Shrike was merely helping

I do plan on building this after christmas, where Im getting acouple of Rhinos, and I think to build The Dozer blade underneath the Assault ramp, by having it extend from UNDER the model, and the assault ramp will clip into place inside the radius, I think it'd work pretty well.

I was correcting him in places:
cap. of 16, not 15,
can transport multiple units,
4 side access ramps,
BS4 not BS3,
12/12/11, not 12/11/11.
This is mine:

Mine is built (mostly) and awaiting paint. All I need is a FW RG etched brass and some spray.

Bs 3 due to Daemonic possession, Cap 15 since I feel all the daemonic stuff would take up abit more space.

I wanted to make it different to yours, rather than a direct copy and the 12/11/11 is to make sure it isn't too expensive to be used generally. Im fairly happy with the changes to it and I feel it reflects upon the idea and points value accordingly.

The Zerkers wouldn't care about side armour, only going head on, and daemonic possession is equal to side armour IMO, since it isn't shaken or stunned.

fair enough.
BTW buy razorbacks instead of rhinos. My original plan was a rhino front and razorback back, but I already had 2 rhinos...

Eh, but my mates have already bought me acouple of Rhino's for christmas, so I thought 'hang on, can make somthing awesome out of this'

oh well, never mind. But when you go to buy rhinos, always get the razorbacks. Then glue on the turret-hole roof, and you can use it as a razorback when you want. Even if you know you'll never use it as a razorback, you'll still get the rhino roof and then you have some spare heavy weapons!

Zerkers won't care about side armor?! Make it 14/10/10 then!

If this thing is meant to smash through things and be fast at deploying troops, I would add the following rules:

1: Make it's S value count as D3 higher when performing a Ram attack (much like a DE Shock Prow)

2: Make it a Fast vehicle, and embarked units may disembark aftr moving Flat Out, but they may not assault if so.
