Just in case some of you haven't seen the new Demolisher kit yet, here it its...  Looks a bit like the Ryza Demolisher turret, I think. It's all plastic, and you can make an Executioner or Punisher as well. Reds |

I kinda like the elongated turret, and I think it would look great with a Vanquisher Cannon.
I'm not buying one because I don't want any of those variants.

Like the turret and the sponson pieces. Just wish they'd make a new Leman Russ hull. The lack of suspension makes me cringe

I like the turret alright; a step towards modernization is good. I'll also agree on the need for a newer hull... About the Demolisher; Undoubtedly, it's one of the best armor we have and I usually include it in my builds, I don't like the how the cannon looks. It's very short and appears hilarious, more like a mortar than a S10 cannon... I think they ought to consider the looks of the cannon as well.
Is this the kit that's said to come out in August, along with the Hellhound kit? I'll probably get one, though I'll definitely convert the D cannon somehow, perhaps just to lengthen it.
On that note, is there a new Chimera kit on the way? I remember a number of pictures from a n exhibition in Warseer that had a chimera with the turret near the back of the chassis and a round hatch in the front of the vehicle, just below the gun turret. This was way before the codex came out though and it might have been a forgeworld model... Anyone know anything?

It's a Seige Cannon so it should be short and stubby. It fires a huge shell over a very short distance like the Sturm Tiger  |

For those who dont like the look of the demolisher cannon, imagine the same chassis with an executioner , now thats got to be awsome, or even a punisher.

Woz: Agreed. A while back, there was talk about equivilant guns for the Russes. I mentioned the Russ was a 105 Howitzer, like we tacked on Shermans in WWII, while the Demolisher was closer to the Sturmtiger. Gotta love the cut down battleship cannon... Reds

It fires a huge shell over a very short distance like the Sturm Tiger in reality the Sturm Tiger was a horrible weapon, wasted way too many resources, inaccurate, and was not mobile. i personally like the Turret chassis, and since its plastic i like it more, i might go for executioner, or work with magnets to be able to switch them around. -Panzer |

You know, the Vindicator greatly resembles the Sturm Tiger... I'm not saying anything concerning the chassis or the turret, all I'm saying it's that the cannon should look a little better; perhaps a bit longer or different muzzle. From what I can figure from the side presentation of the Eradicator, it looks like it is the Demolisher cannon with an added muzzle that resembles that of the Hellhammer main gun. It appears more intimidating than what is, essentially, a big barrel and much more modern. I'll probably use this turret for a demolisher and convert it a bit to look more powerful.
