<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship AC-130 Spectre (which for those who don't know, is a C-130 transport plane with it's transport capacity replaced by several miniguns and an artillery piece firing out the side of the aircraft).

Basically we're thinking a Stormraven with no transport capacity. It can only take heavy bolters on the nose, it loses its missiles, and the left side door is replaced with a thunderfire cannon firing to the left. The top turret would also be replaced with a fixed left-firing battery of two twin-linked autocannons or a twin linked assault cannon.

What do you think? Would anyone want this turkey and how many points would you pay for it? I think it would actually come in about the same price as the current version - not being able to haul troops, losing weapon options, and the limited firing arc should make up for the hurt it would put out at range.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601371.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601371.page GMT Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship TFC, 2 TL Autocannons, Heavy Bolters, and 2 Hurricane Bolters. I'd just keep it at a TFC, TL Autocannon, and an Assault Cannon]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601433.page GMT Re:Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship AC-130 knockoff). It also makes for interesting maneuvering to be sure your target is within the 45 degree firing arc of your side weapons.

And I guess I didn't make myself clear, the only weapons on it would be the TF cannon and 2x TL autocannons or 1x TL assault cannon (and the heavy bolters on the nose). It narrows it down to just the intended purpose. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601443.page GMT Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship
I don't know jack about thunder fire cannons, but maybe vanquisher or battle cannons might be a hell of a lot more badass]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5601495.page GMT Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship

Thunderfire's basically an anti-infantry multiple blast weapon with different types of ammunitions. They're awesome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5602116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5602116.page GMT Re:Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship
The 7.62mm would be a Punisher Gatling Cannon (like on the Vulture)

The 25mm is probably an autocannon.

The 105mm is the Thunderfire.

Lastly, as AC 130s are exclusively used on night ops...it needs a search light (yay for IOM not packing NVGs)

Boom done. No idea on point cost....a lot. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5602406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5602406.page GMT Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship IG craft as its more their style. Im thinking marauder bomber with a single assault canon, TLAC and a heavy 2 Gryphon heavy mortar (the s6 AP4 one) all on a left firing arc (call em sponsons with a 90 degree fire angle)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5603598.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5603598.page GMT Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5604977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526149/5604977.page GMT Re:Just for fun... the Stormspectre Gunship
