Hey everyone, just wondering has anyone come across a bits site that makes servo arms for vehicles? I'd like to get some but I've never seen one except on Forgeworld's Colossus Bombard and Puppetswar's Big Momma Gun (the bombard is too expensive and the big momma gun too wimpy). Or has anyone come across a military model kit that has a cool crane that looks like it would work for 40k? Thanks in advance!

How about this from Bitspudlo

When gw made that triple rhino cargo thing they used sentinel legs to make a servo arm for loading/unloading cargo.

VikingChild :I forgot about Bitspuldo, thanks for that one!
Red_Starrise :I don't think I've ever seen what you're talking about, I can imagine the sentinel leg, but triple rhino cargo thing sounds amazing, do you happen to have a link to it or pictures of it?

Yes, Sentinel legs make great servo arms for vehicles, so long as you don't mind scratch-building the hook or clamp or whatever to go on the end. A Sentinel ain't cheap though - unless you can use all the other bits for another conversion...

Thanks for the Sentinel leg idea. I think that will make a pretty awesome servo arm for a vehicle. I appreciate the suggestions!

The ork battlewagon has a grabbing claw arm on it. Im pretty sure it could be easily de-orkified

Here it is. It's called a rhino advancer munitions carrier.
