I haven't been able to find just the Quad Gun from the ADL so I'm looking at picking this up for my Rifleman Dreadnought conversion.

I want remove the arms from my AOBR Dreadnought, really don't wanna cut them up, leave them as is. It looks like you're able to just put the flak cannon bits directly on each shoulder of the Dreadnought.

Has anybody used them for a Rifleman Dreadnought conversion?

Why not just grab 4 auto cannons and ammo tubes from the IG heavy weapons kit, and splice them together. Way cheaper, and keeps the 40k aethstetic.

I tried those cannons from that vendor and I was very disappointed in them. The casting was horrible, waste of money.

Just to give you a rough idea how of how the IG autocannons would look before fixing them up:

The Taurox autocannons look promising for conversions on dreads, but they're a bit new so not offered by many bit sellers yet, so far as I can find.

@Redfinger Thanks for the heads up.

I know I could use the IG Autocannons but I would still need arms for each side of the Dreadnought to mounted them on right?

The Quad Gun from the ADL seems like a simple addition to the sides, don't even need the arms/shoulder for those right?

I have a pair, and like the way they look.

Damnit! Why'd you have to show me those? They look badass! The fact they show you them fully painted and not just gray resin is key to selling those. Looks like I might have to cave....hmmmm...I wonder what else I could pick up at Forge World???

A better question is what CAN'T you pick up at Forgeworld! Their stuff is great, especially all the Horus Heresy stuff as of late.

I found the forgeworld autocannon arms get "barrel droop" have a look around youll find so many images of them that are not straight.
