Does one exist? I know CHS makes one for the chimera and I have one. I just wondering about the rino.

Thanks,

Jason

I've not found a kit as such for them no... just the CHS kit for the Chimera and Victoria kit for the Taurox... I think Rhino would look not great with wheels, they're spaces marines... if they can get power armour to work and maintain it, they can surely have tracked IFV's.

Not commercially at this time, however I have been considering doing one up.

Isn't there a company doing 'not-rhinos' with wheels?

Can't remember the name now.

Out of curiosity, what would be the fluff reason for wheels? Track make more sense for armored vehicles, no? Or, do you want the aesthetic

Tracks make sense for HEAVY armoured vehicles - like tanks. The larger surface area allows a lowered surface pressure to somewhat mitigate the bogging aspect.

APCs or "battle taxis" are just as likely to be wheeled ATVs now as tracked. The Fuchs, Luchs or ASLAV/Stryker type vehicles illustrate this well enough.

Treads have better cross country performance while wheels offer better speed on the road. I think better maneuverability too.

Im looking to make my command Rino different from any other Rino in my collection. I gonna make the metal armour as seen on the US Army's M1126 Striker so adding wheels would make the tie in easier.

The Bison APC from Bitspudlo is pretty rhino-escque if not a little more technically advanced looking plus they have a lot of loadout options.



or my favorite is the hover version. I want to do a whole marine army using these as all rhino based vehicles. The predators look nice too.

Seems the Chimera is the chosen one when it comes to wheel kit;
