Bah.
These haters need to QQ moar. So f'n what if you use Titan weapon rules?
It's apoc and "over-the-top" is the order of the day. Stuff dies in droves. That's the point.
Are you ever going to play these QQ'rs? Let alone with that tank? Who cares then?
I like the conversion. It is done well, for the most part. As somebody said earlier, the Autocannon isn't integrated as well as it could have been. What irks me though, is the Turbo Laser. There is no mantlet where the barrel enters the chassis. The barrel has no movement capability. If the Raider can line up just right, it can put a hella hole hin a Titan's shin...

I started playing in the days of Rogue Trader and Space Marine (EPIC) and if i remember from fluff way back Land Raiders Do have a reactor...but they can also be modified to run on oil or even wood!!!!
All depends on what planet tech is available.
Any way the model is great but the weapon IS too powerful. Fluff wise why not make it a Laser destroyer taken from an IG Destroyer Tank Hunter?
This will still have a long range, S9 shot
If you want a titan killer..............Make a Titan!

ok, 1st thought, main gun, amazing, fits perfectly.
the autocannon is a let down though, might be worth using the mounting from the TL HB's to fix it it with a little plasticard.
fluff wise, i agree.
a tank should be allowed anti titan weapons, why would they build something as sophisticated as a titan to be used to hunt other titans when they can use a simple tank with the same capabilities?
how many anti aircraft weapons are mounted on aircrafts?

Ok, the AC has already been covered, so the only other thing I see is that the turbo laser needs support rods. Just a little detail I like to keep in mind and not necessary by any means. And for all you guys whining about how cheesy it is, build a model yourself and try to remember we're supposed to be having "FUN".

spot on wasserrj, needs some form of support on the main cannon, firing a weapon of that power would have some ammount of recoil.

Agreed. And what's with all this "you have to play Apoc this way" n "that doesn't work fluff wise"
Apoc allows you to play with armies mixed from any faction. Marneus/ Nightbringer combo anyone?
Hell why not, it's for fun right?
People who go on about WYSIWYG in Apoc haven't played an Ork Stompa have they?
Where what you see is some tubes counting for some rules that don't have an official model.
The model looks nice. The Cannon is a great simple conversion. Well done.

Hey, just a thought for the AC, sort of fit a platw in front of it i.e. old IG heavy weapons style and bulk up the area behind it with green stuff. That would make it look like another gun without altering the body entirely too much.
