conversion question

[Deleted]

Before I got my IG army together I had a SMurf army and I still have some of the vehicles, can you guys think of maybe any way to mod a rhino into something like a chimeraI know chimeras are smaller and sleeker, maybe trying to mod it to look like a, oh whats it called, the devildog, the one that shoots the acid cloud. Anyways if anyone has any ideas let me know, I have two rhinos and an old style predator that I want to do something with since I cant seem to get them traded or sold

wow really guys, 12 views and not a peep?

I'm afraid nobody has a rhino free to cut up for a stranger over the internet.

A little scathing, yes, but it's hard to help without any motivation, or spare rhinos to hand (This is an IG board, you know).

How about you try it yourself, get some pics up, and we can go from there.

lol, fair enough I was not asking anyone to cut up their rhino just to give me some ideas sine I have never modified a single thing in my life I make em like the bax tells me to and thats that. but heck, ill try anything twice, lucky I have 2 rhinos now where to start. . .

well, im just doing this by looking at a pic.
so bear with me.

if you could fabricate a turret for it, and added barrels and oil drums and things you could pass it for a hellhound type thing. but its a lot more boxy than one... i think youd probably also want to think about maybe converting it to a deathstrike missile launcher.

now that i think about it, taht would actually be really cool.

im gonna do a quick sketch in my mind..

okay my idea:

you could cut a hole in the top of the rhino, as sort of a missile silo thing. its rather iffy but if you had a giant missile sticking out of the top, looking ready to launch, that would be pretty cool.


or, you could turn them into hydras. really, now that im thinking about it the possibilities are endless.

i just had a thought for a LRBT made out of a rhino.

be creative man!!!!!





OMFG 500th POST!

ok so what size, approximately are the hellhounds tanks that holds the promethium? Should I use something as large as a toilet paper tube or go smaller, If I went with a single toilet paper tube I couldtrim the rhino down to fit it in snugly and then make the banewolf front for it, hmm.

Thanks ReWolf and Xorl, that ws the kick that I needed to get me started.

Making a hellhound or variant of said vehicle would not be too terribly difficult. My method would be as follows:
Cut the rear door and top of the hull away to just the tread covers and bring that right to the firewall of the driver compartment leaving a large open area. Take 2 PVC end caps of the 1.5" size type, place them end to end making a fuel tank, glue them in place in the open area of the rhino. Next is the turret issue. This can be done in a variety of ways, my favorite being the use of a predator turret with a pair of heavy flamers stuffed in the front in place of the autocannon or lascannons. If you do not have those, the autocannon could be reworked to a long flamer nozzel. Next make a placement for the hull heavy bolter or flamer on one side of the driver compartment. Now make some spaced armor plating for the sides to cover up the offending side doors and you have a very modern looking hellhound. Add some bits and grubbins to taste, paint, and incinerate your foes.

Did you ever think of possibly adding some inquisition to your guard. If I remember correctly you can give rhino's to inquisitors as transports and this allows you to paint them up however you like.

Please remember that Rhinos are significantly smaller and sleaker minis than Chimeras (the Rhino has about 3/4 of the size of a Chimera)
