Hi all




Who in right mind would make turret weapon useless just to fit any light weapon?

Haha yeah, that predator build is really awful.

Perfect modeling lesson for new 40K players

Who puts storm bolters on tanks anyway...

Rhinoes and vindicators...

For me rhino/razorback is more APC than tank

Vindicators...

sisters have one as standard and can pay for another on their rhinos

So do SW...
As it is, yeah it's pretty silly but nothing says that it must be where the pictures who it is.
You could easily put them on top of the turrets...

Same people who put the two main exits directly under the turret

Aesthetics aside, the Land Raider (with weapons mounted in the back slot) is the biggest offender when it comes to making weapons and exit points clash.


....

Man I don't see the point of half of those pieces on those tanks. It just ups the cost and makes it look bulkier which means enemies can see it easier. The doors is rather funny though.

I put the storm bolter on the hatch on top of the turret on my Chaos Predator. I are smartz. Also because that's what every fething tank in the world does with its light weapon.

because whoever assembled that predator was stupid.

You're supposed to put the Stormbolter in the Turret's cupola, not down below.

C:SM also allows you to purchase a Storm Bolter along with one that comes with it as well, maybe it's standard on all Rhinos?

Its the "new design".
Old Mk's had either no space for bolters or no hindrance.
Example:
Razorback with boltguns

Predator ( Hybrid kit like the razorback above):


So chances for stupid modelling came with enlarged stormbolters.
