Marines and Orks on the same sprue?

By the time you get the set, they will have cut each other off the sprues! :wink:

from what i gather from Warseer, its a 'siege Dread' with Front AV13.

Thunderfire, siege Dread and Vindicator would make quite a cool siege themed army, prehaps with an Assault Squad to breach gaps, and Tacticals for fire support...

i think someone compared it to a Griffon, but thats all. i only dip in and out of the rumours though.

anyway, just look at it - do you really care what it does when it looks that sweet? :?:

Ummmmm, no, matter of fact, I don't! It is an incredible looking model. I'm intrigued by your idea of the siege line. Neil at The War Store sell bits to convert a rhino into a vindicator. I am still working on my armor units, have a couple of extra whirlwind sprues, and have my basic rhino chassis set up that they can become rhino, razorback, predator or whirlwind just by changing top hatches and sponsons.

Off topic, Happy Father's Day btw, to you and all the other dads here on AoS!

Weather's been nice, and I've had a leather and silver bracelet from my son, and a skull ear stud from my daughter.

Someone at my FLGS referred to it as a Thudd Gun.

I believe it fires 3 types of "ammo".
One is a "Napalm" type round, which ignores cover, then you have a "Normal" explosive type ( whirlwind type I think)
And then the third is a form of "mole mortar", which forces any (IIRC) unit it hits to take a pinning test plus I believe it stops units from "running" after the hit irrespective of pinning result.
That's what I can remember of a conversation I had about this on Thursday, and memory is haphazard at best
