Thumbs up to the vanquisher

[grendel]

;D

Glad to get a win verse eldar taking fortress of redemption. 78 inches and 2d6 pen yezzzzz. I dont have it wrong right....it is that good?

[Ponen19]

72 inches, but yes its that good. Unless I'm playing Orks or Nids, a Pask-Vanquisher is usually one of my better performing units.

[vegna]

nice fluff unit but go with a vendetta and field more russes or executioners in the heavy choice

[Julian Sharps]

Although, if you are dead set on taking a unit that can kill just about anything, get a Medusa with Bastion Breachers and an Aegis Defense line, and blast away.

I use the FW command vanquisher against nids, it is so good it is somewhat unfair. You get bs4 for much cheaper than Pask, and have the option of purchasing beast hunter shells. These kill monstrous creatures so easily, with their small blasts that cause instant death.

Can't the FW version get the Coax Heavy Stubber for re-rolls, too?

Yes. I am trying to find a way to convert an old LRBT into a vanquisher, and the co-ax is the only bit that I can't figure out. Every method that I think of looks rubbish.

[Sergeant CJ]

The only way I did a co-ax was by taking a stubber and cutting it on a diagonal behind the barrel in the square sort of area. I then just glued that onto the turret... at the time I didn't want the proper pintle mount, so it stood in admirably

[Trooper One-Nine-Seven-Four]

I bashed a stubber onto the mantlet and extended the cannon barrel with something I nicked from a lab...

[egon]

To be perfectly honest Trooper, this is about the only one of your models that I don't think looks really, really good. The co-axial just looks stuck on and there's nothing behind it that could hold the actual gun. Rest of the tank looks great though.

grendel: Personally I wouldn't mind if some-one just used a pintle-mounted stubber and called it a co-axial stubber, as long as you told everytone what is is and what it does before the game.
You could also try build it so that it comes out form the side of the turret. Perhaps rebuild the targeting box?

[Julian Sharps]

Alternatively, you could have modeled it like it was a jury-rigged setup with the stubber essentially duct taped to the VBC, with control wires running to the inside of the turret.

[hendrik]

here's a conversion of how i made the coaxial heavy stubber, it uses a heavy stubber and the turret plate from the heavy bolter turret found in the chimera kit. it still needs some cleanup and greenstuff to connect the two pieces together but you'll get the idea.

[yvain]

That looks pretty good.

Also I just learned that the little plastic things left over from my sets are actually handles for the hatch.

[Trooper One-Nine-Seven-Four]

Yeah, unfortunately there was no real good way I could think of the add the co-ax to Donkey Punch back in the day. I may wind up ripping it off and seeing if I can finagle a better way to attach it, or just get rid of it all together since the codex Vanquisher doesn't have it. Hendrik's conversion is really neat though!

[Trickstick]

Thank you Hendrik, I may have to give that a go if I want a second vanquisher.

Yesterday, my command vanquisher made an entire Tyranid army hide behind ruins. Those beast hunter shells are scary.

[hendrik]

i'm really keen to try out my vanquisher now i've acquired the new book! company command tank vanquishers seem liek THE choice to take in an armoured battalion
