Hey guys, I just yesterday got my land raider upgrade sprue. I'm trying to get everything assembled but wow it's a lot of parts! So far I've managed to magnetize my sponsoons so I can switch between all 3 sponsoon weapons. I've also fully assembled my assualt cannon. For the life of me however, I cannot figure out how to assemble the multi-melta turret. In pictures I see online there are like 2 barrel type things one on each side of the MM, but I don't see these parts on the sprue.

Below is the sprue I recieved, if you guys can help me to figure out what parts are needed for the multi-melta I can usually figure out how to put them together.




Again any help is appreciated!

You mean this?

The multimelta goes on the cupola with the pintle mount. In your drawing it is the left cupola in the upper right.

The other bits you're looking for are the two angle pieces in the top center of your picture below the turret plate.

The final bit is the shield in the upper right between the antenna bit and the stormbolter parts.

I must be a complete moron, because this just seems like trying to put a round peg in a square hole. The multimelta has a grooved part on either side and a hole directly in the middle where it seems like something is supposed to fit. The two angled parts seem like they should go on the cupola, but where does the multimelta go? I am just not seeing a way for them all to go together..

edit: I know when I assembled the heavy bolter for the cupola on my rhino, everything fit perfectly because one piece of the heavy bolter goes on each side of the cupola. Very simple.

Edit 2: figured it out FINALLY, I just have 3 other questions for this sprue.



What are the things in red used for? Are all 3 of the parts circled in blue on the bottom used for the hunter-killer missle assembley? What is the other circled blue part used for?

All parts circled in blue are used for the HK missile.

The parts in red attach to the back of the Hurricane Bolter assembly.

The three parts make up the hunter killer missile launcher. This can be attached to the hatch with pintle mount on it instead of a stormbolter or the multi-melta you mentioned above.
The other bit you circled fits into the cross shape on the top of the hatch next to it. It is a stand that can be used to take weapons instead of putting them on the pintle mount. You can also place the stand on the hull if you don't want a weapon over a hatch.
