Hi!
The AA units like Scorpions and Thunderfire are hard to come by these days, so I made a rhino/whirlwind variant to substitute these units:

SAM Whirlwind
The SAM Whirlwind is a standard Whirlwind fitted with AA missiles instead of the usual barrage missiles.
Miniature: Use the new GW Whirlwind model.

When I was playing with the costformula, it occured to me that the Rhino in 40K has a much better weapon than the netepic variant. I just had to see what a 40K Rhino would look like in netepic, so this is what I came up with:

 
Storm Rhino
The Storm Rhino is quite simply an ordinary Rhino with the usual bolter replaced by a storm bolter to provide better close support for the troops.

Miniature: Use the GW Rhino painted to emphasize the bolters or the GHQ M-16

 I hope this can be of use to someone, so I have uploaded these units to the vault.

Please tell me what you think!
