Is the Scorpius turret compatible with the Sicaran? The turret looks a bit different from the Forgeworld Sicaran Arcus turret, but similar enough for me. Eyeballing the size tells me it might work. In addition, if the Scorpius turret is compatible, I would believe all the predator turrets to be compatible as well, allowing some fun Kitbash projects ...

Edited the threat title; typo

According to the comments in this old reddit post they are fully compatible:

Hm the comment refers to the Forgeworld resin I would guess, as it is 2 years old. But i would be surprised if the dimensions changed in the transition.

Thank you!

I can’t remember re the mounting plate, but I am aware the Scorpius launchers are considerably smaller than the Sicaran variant.

The Scorpius turret fits perfectly in the Sicaran turret ring, but does seem undersized.

You can also make Deimos whirlwinds and Deimos Razorbacks from the Scorpius kit, the turret holes are compatible in size, only requiring something to hold them vertically in place so they dont fall through the hole. You could glue some sprue bitz on the inside of the ceiling piece to keep the 40K turrets from falling through

(yes, I know, blasphemy to be using 30K toys in 40K, but the rule of cool and all that)

Thank you for the image, the turret does seem a little small.

That's great to know. I will experiment a little too see what else fits.
I don't really see blasphemy with compatible parts, rather untold opportunity.
