Silly question maybe but the ones on the GW site are indicated to only have the choice between twin heavy bolter and twin lascannon... no mention about twin assault cannons. Are those a now discontinued kit that I have to get 2nd hand? Or do I have to use parts from other kits to convert my own? Or maybe even get a Baal Predator without sponsons and use counts-as (that would be quite expensive but if that's the only option...)? Thanks!

The Land Raider Crusader Assault Cannon turret fits the Razorback mount. There is also a Forgeworld turret. (Which looks better, imo.)

It fits the razorback perfectly. I have two of them.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

You can also use the twin assault cannons from a Stormraven, if you got those lying around.

I made three twin assault cannons using spared assault cannons from wolf guard terminators and ven dreads' kits. Just cut the barrels of those ass cannons and replace the heavy bolters ones with them. I've actually magnetized the barrels in order to be able to switch weapons.

I found a good deal on a site that sells bitz online and 6 ass cannons cost me half the price of a single FW turret.

If you don't find cheap bitz on the internet (and it's actually not easy) try asking some local players if they have the required spared bitz. You should be able to grab some of them for almost nothing.

Kromlech is perfect.
Our local store orders sometimes from them.

There are numerous resin options...and always the option of kit-bashing your own. I've seen a smattering of all of the above in the games I've played.

If want to go the GW route (is probably the safest because can be played anywhere then) is 3 options (these have been stated just to condense into 1 post and adding in EUR costs):

1. Is Forge world: Razorback Assault Cannon Turret: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-NL/Razorback-Assault-Cannon-Turret

I really like this turret (I own multiple myself). Looks great! = EUR 18.77

2. Is the Land Raider Crusader Pack: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NL/Upgrade-Pack-Land-Raider-Crusader

This gives you the Assault cannon turret plus a lot of extras = EUR 16

3. Is conversion from GW products (Baal preds, assault cannon termies etc)

4. Is a third party. There has been some example here which look good (and many more out there). However, always be wary of third party stuff if you ever want to go to a GW store or GW event to play etc.

Hope helps,

Depending on your modeling skills it wouldn't be hard to bash them together from small brass tubing

Does the land raider cursador sprew come with everything for the whole turret?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! At the moment I think the best option for me would be to use spare assault cannons from my dreadnoughts. I find the FW turrets to be too expensive for something that IMO should be part of the basic sprue really... ah well. The Kromlech ones are very nice but since I mostly play in my local GW store I'm not sure if that'll be allowed. My modelling skills are next to nonexistent though so no brass tube cannons for me (I can do a simple conversion with plastic parts but working with metal is beyond me for the time being). Maybe I can simply model a couple with the Heavy Bolters and use counts as for the time being.

I had a few assault cannons lying around from the DA upgrade and deathwing terminator kits - with some kitbashing was able to make some DA inspired twin assault cannons mounts which actually look pretty decent.

"Courage and Honour. I hear you murmur these words in the mist, in their wake I hear your hearts beat harder with false conviction seeking to convince yourselves that a brave death has meaning.
There is no courage to be found here my nephews, no honour to be had. Your souls will join the trillion others in the mist shrieking uselessly to eternity, weeping for the empire you could not save.

To the unfaithful, I bring holy plagues ripe with enlightenment. To the devout, I bring the blessing of immortality through the kiss of sacred rot.
And to you, new-born sons of Gulliman, to you flesh crafted puppets of a failing Imperium I bring the holiest gift of all.... Silence."

I did what NurglesR0T above did and it works pretty good. Those assault cannon bits were otherwise sitting around gathering dust, so now they are useful.

Indeed so.



The circled bits are the assault cannon and turret plate pieces.

Or you can get a Ball Predator and just use the Assault Cannon turret on the Rhino chassis all in one box. And you wind up with some spare Predator parts. IMO it looks the best.
