I've been thinking that at some point, I'll want to model a couple marines to be holding assault cannons, just to look cool (though I guess they could also be decent proxies for HB marines), though I wasn't looking forward to the challenge of converting them to such. Then I saw the FW Rotor cannon sets, and so now I'm wondering if there's really any noticeable difference between the two weapons (I've already seen that the backpacks aren't the same, but swap in a HB pack for the stock rotor cannon pack should be a piece of cake). Aside from stuff like the belts or backpacks, can you really tell the difference between the two?
