Sauron1 writes;Tyler,I play Epic2nd.The only rhinos I have with a bow rake
are the new Whirlwind models,and they have no bolters mounted.Regular
rhinos have a 0 close assault factor but 1 attack dice for a 6+hit. So I
have to detail some SM troops to protect them.Its just fun to try to run
over a couple of stands of Eldar or Orks when they don,t expect it.(BTW
original rhino drawings always showed them with the hedge cutters but they
never made any models with them on) Cowboy?in what way? sauron1
