Hey,

I don't know if this is the right place but still, I was looking on the internet for assault cannon dreadnought arms and everywhere that i looked had them out of stock, apart from bitz and kits, bitz box and let the dice decide is there any other place to get your bitz?

secondly, I need a army stripper, I can't use the tut in the tutorial section since it's an american product, does anyone know the English variant, and how to do it?

I ordered a lot from Hoard'Obits.
But I'm pretty sure that they will not have your dreadnought arms. That's not the shops fault though... It's more a problem of availability vs. general demand.

EDIT: I confused assault cannon with auto cannon. ^^
Forget what I was saying.

Btw. You can easily convert the arm using this bit:


It's cheap and easy to get a hand on.

Just stick it on this arm and your fine:

There are plenty of bits on eBay and you can find the links to other bits sellers on there

thanks for the help so far, i tried bitz barn and they didn't have any sort of assault cannon, anywhere else?

I think theres a stickied thread over in one of the P&M sections that have just about all the bitz sites I've come across among many others as well.

Do not use. They have some shady practices. Ordered an Eldar heavy weapon platform and scatter laser for it from them before. They canceled the platform due to not in stock (even though the site showed one in stock) and immediately shipped the scatter laser. End result, a $9 scatter laser thanks to shipping and no platform to use it with.

Im in the UK and i have used the following places, all with good results.

I do find though, that no matter what the website, the popular parts are nearly always out of stock, best way to get them is to keep track of the sites and get on them straight after a restock.

Thanks Rayvon, unfourtunatly I've tried two of them and the 3rd dosen't have them in stock :(

Ok, i found Hoard 'O Bitz had 6 assault cannons for land speeders and I have the multi meltas already now Just a quick one, does anyone know what cheap product to use to strip my army and how to do it, I saw a tut on the tutorial bit but it was a american product so no help to me, I was wandering if there was any cheap equivalents to that tut

Simple Green. You need to let it soak over night, and sometimes it takes 2-3 soakings. Completely safe for plastic and it works on metal. I have not bought Finecast so I make no claims. You will need a soft tooth brush to clean away the paint.

In the US you can find Simple Green at any home/garden store.

LA's Totally Awesome helps too if Simple Green fails. I alternate soakng vats.

For metal, peel off the base and go right for the pine sol.

Use Dettol Disinfectant, available everywhere.

If it's really stuck on then paint stripper are available in all DiY store, Many varieties, read the label.

My preference is for Nitromors. Note only for metal, this will melt plastic, latex gloves and flesh given the chance.

Yea bog standard dettol, soak overnight, then scrub with old 10p toothbrush from wilkinsons

I've tried simple green, it took the paint off but not the under coat spray? anyone else have this happen?

I fully back LA's, stuff works like a charm. Works fine in metal too.

Thanks guys, I used dettol in the end and That's soaking right now

This only happens to me on plastic models that were primed with Krylon flat black paint (which is essentially all my minis) which I think is kinda cool, because it saves me a bit of time and money on primer.
