Hi Kelvin!
To be honest, I've never even tried loading these things in a Rhino.
I just set them up, and let the fun begin!
I really do love Tarantulas. But I see them as more of an Imperial

Centre, behind the lines.
I agree they are wonderfull weapons, however.
Glad you like the "_______" Mobile Marine AA unit. What should the name
be? Any ideas?
Warprat ;)
