Howdy all,

Looking for some ideas on how to convert Butcher Cannons for some Contemptor dreads... I'm thinking of using Helbrute Autocannon bitz, but other ideas would be great

I used forgefiend hades autocannons for mine, they’re pretty big but it is a str 8 gun after all.

Sadly those are nearly impossible to find on Bitz sites now... great idea though!

Went with a similar direction with mine- though I used a gun from a resin walker from Leviathan.

I was thinking about trying to use this from Ramshackle Games.

Or possibly Reaper assault cannon bits from a defiler if I can find enough on eBay.

I'd imagine you could modify a Hellverin Autocannon into one?
Especially on a bigger model.

Hades allready have been brought up, just like reapers. Then there technically are some bits producers like anvil:
