  just one question ? how do you fit 25 SM's in a Rhino?, thats what 5 stands are.

  rhinos only have room for 10 SM's or 2 stands

    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
