With the release of the new Chaos Havoc rules and the new Reaper Chaincannon, I can imagine a lot of people will want to take full advantage of the new Heavy 8 gun. The only thing that I'm a bit miffed at is that despite there are 2 of each weapon in the new Havoc box (which is great), there is only one chaincannon.

I was looking to find out what people's plans were for fielding more of these. As I wouldn't mind 4 of them but doubt I'll be buying 4 Havoc boxes just for the guns.

I've come across a few alternatives that could work well, the best of which were these:





I also pulled together an article on Chaos Reaper Chaincannon Alternatives with a list of the different options I'd found so far. Has anyone tried any of these?

I was going to to order the Kromlech ones, but all the online retailers are out. So I got the Pop goes the monkey ones from Shapeways. I haven't done anything with them as I have lots of stuff going on.

Can anyone confirm that the Kromlech ones are the right scale to fit onto the torso's of the new models?

This may or may not help:
I have the Kromlech lascannons, and I really struggled to get them to fit onto a normal old style chaos space marines.
Also, the arms are a little bit thinner than the old style CSM arms.

i have three CSM from the boardgame Space Crusade armed with gatling guns.

Blue Stuff and Epoxy putty.

Styrene tubing and the heavy bolters. A few mins of cutting and filing and sticking each. Cost: pence.
