Hey, I was just wondering, what sort of 3rd party companies make 2 set of TL autocannons for dreads? I've seen shapeways stuff and I'd rather ebay for FW stuff lol.... any ideas? prefer cheap as possible

, heck even if its to ebay for all the parts to convert them! (I know auto cannons might be expensive, so even lascanons so I shave the end flat lol)

I used Old Crow models' individual cannons (45mm I think) for the job. Unfortunately the guy who makes them is focusing on another project and has redone the website, so now I can't find them. You might email him and find out.

alright, well are there any other alternatives people have heard of or used?

**ruff**

Look up forge planet.. Its not FW lol.. but they still do good work..

**BewareOfTom**

I dunno, their $23, but the FW arms are $21 (with shipping, but I'd have to wait a long time lol) or I could ebay them for about the same cost :/

thanks anyways

This one, for example. They advertise it as flak cannon platform (sort of alternative for a certain IG tank), but it can be used as two separate parts for rifleman dread as well.

Imperial guard heavy weapons squad?

that's the cheapest AC's you will get by far.

Cheaper still? assorted bag of styrene. you'll get a tube of the correct size, a tube of the next size up to do any details on it, and styrene to do the ammo hoppers and the body of the weapon...............

Yep, Jez has got a job on a major movie and will be busy for the next year or so.
He's cutting back on what stuff he will be doing, and if you don't have paypal, you'll be SOOL buying stuff from him when the site is finished (no e-commerce function, so as much as I like his stuff, it means I won't be getting anymore of it because I WON'T use paypal).
