This is a modelling issue as well as a gameplay one. I just wanted to get a few opinions on the following (an on the overall subject of weapon placement legality) before I proceed with converting.

I bought a 2nd hand land raider redeemer / crusader. I want to magnetise it so I can switch between either configuration. The problem is that the sponsons have been glued in the rear sockets, and it is too much work to alter that. So while the hurricane bolter config is fine, when I want to equip those flamestorm cannons, naturally I want them up front, not at the back. Therefore what I propose doing is counting the flamestorms as if they were forward mounted for the purposes of firing, LOS, etc. I can use a "proxy sponson" using a piece of card to measure when firing if neccessary.

Similarely I have a predator which instead of sponsons, I've given a hull and cupola mounted weapons. Again I plan on ignoring the positions of the weapons for gaming purposes, and counting them as sponson mounted.

What do you reckon, would this be considered acceptable by most players? My reasoning is yes it is, given the considerable difference in weapon placement on existing kits, such as various predator models,and particularly ork vehicles. I've also seen some players lengthen gun barrels etc. Basically I don't have the cash or time for a 2nd land radier kit, but more importantly I don't to come across as taking the p**s with the rules to new players. Neither do I want my vehicles to be unplayable in tournaments.

Any opinons appreciated, thanks

Ok thanks, will do. Wasn't sure what category to put it in tbh.

Also, excuse my lack of knowledge on this site, but how do I actually go about moving my thread or deleting it even). I can't see any obvious options to do so, and a search has turned up nothing either.
