So i'm hoping for an idea for the point cost of a custom razorback. It's just a rhino with 3 TL bolters (Hurricane bolters) on a sponson on each side. Due to sponson design, they have about 45* firing arc to the left and right respectively. The only special rule I would want is the ability to fire each sponson at separate targets. Keep in mind that I lose the 2 side exit options.

So, ideas for point costs?
my local shop does allow for custom rules/vehicles in casual play, and I have no intention of playing in a tournament with this.

correct, i'll be using the Storm Raven Sponsons. No turret at the top, i'll leave the storm bolter as an option as a regular razorback has. Only forward arc of 45* to the left and right. The reason I want the ability to shoot the hurricane bolters at separate targets is that unless i'm shooting directly ahead, I'd only be able to bring one sponson to bear. As a Razorback, i'd be limited to cargo capacity of 6 per normal rules.

I was thinking no more than 50 points, maybe 40 like normal razorback. I lose exiting out the side on the vehicle, and shooting at 270* of firing arc. I gain the ability to target each sponson separately, and as there is no turret, I think I would regain the ability to use the top hatch as 2 fire points.

What might a good name for this Razorback variant be?

Thank you all for the input, as it makes me think deeper about the conversion.

Now if I went for a Predator, +30 for hurricane bolters fair? losing all carry capacity of course, or maybe just a capacity of 1 model?
