I need to model an Exorcist launcher, but I have never really liked the 'pipe organ" look. I have a spare old-school rhino hull, so here is what I am thinking. How would it look if I had a row of rear-loading RPG tubes on the top of the tank with a sister of ballt standing on top loading new rounds? I would use brass tubing to make the launching tubes.

My friend used the rocket launcher of the IG plastik heavy weapon team. Gluing three of a kind on each side of the Immolator turrent instead of the heavy flamers.

Hi Cuda

Why not use the Forgeworld one? Its a really nice missle launcher and looks great. In my opinon the FW sisters tank kits are far superior to the cheesy GW ones. I think you can buy the conversion kits seperately like the FW Vindicator turret (which i bought before the newer plastic kit came out).

You can easy convert this to have a sister loading it from the back by playing around with the rear hatches and moving things round a bit.

I've seen one made from a bunch of the newer Hunter-Killer missile boxes - 6 square tubes glued together, with H-K missiles poking out. I believe these are from the new Imperial vehicle accessories sprue. Most people will have some left over though, H-K missiles rarely get used.

Looked a little 'boxy', but not bad. Myself, I like the pipe organ

You could always do what I did for my SM Launcher (GW nomenclature escapes me right now). Simply make a rectangular box out of plasticard. Plain plasticard is used on 5 sides and the front of the launcher is a cut down diffusion panel (one of those grid-like panels you see over flourescent lighting in doctor's offices). The tricky part is making the base and the elevation controls (you'd have to drill through the sides of the launcher, insert a plastic rod, and then attach it to the base).

I've converted two for mine.  The pipe organ looks cool, but my WH army doesn't use a Sisters theme and would look out of place.  I took Havoc launchers from the chaos vehicle sprue and glued them end to end, then lined a few up.  I'll try to post some photos tonight, but feel free to PM me if you don't see anything in the next day or two.
