Also, as Greenmarine shows, not everyone just "dealt with it" because he posted an image of a deimos rhino with a 40k storm bolter.

Yes. That person didn't get angry at people in this thread about his cupola though. They. just. dealt. with it.

It comes with a cupola you can put the two bolters in leaving the other cupola free.

You're correct, which is why I mentioned in my original post that it comes with cupolas for one rhino.

Why are you even still trying to answer a question that was never asked, hours after the discussion is over?

The pintle set comes with 5 sets of pintle weapons (2 MMs, 2 HFs, 1 HB), but you can only use 1 of them because it comes with cupolas for 1 rhino. I asked if I should just buy 40k bits. Greenmarine said that is what people do. I said I will buy 40k bits. Buying 40k bits means I will get more mounts without having to buy extra weapon sets just to throw away 20+ pintle weapons that I'll never use so that I can get some cupolas that are compatible with them. This has been resolved already, and I made it clear to you and to others 6+ hours ago that I know what the contents of the legion pintle weapon set is.

I'm sorry, but are you ESL? I don't mean to offend if you are, I just want to know where the communication breakdown is happening.

This goes without saying, but you're doing this on purpose for whatever purpose. I look forward to when you scurry back to the 40k thread to discuss how lovely the 30k grogs are.

In other news, my coworker snagged SW:A so I'll be playing that in the short term. I swear I'm close to getting him into 30k. I'm wearing him down.

Not sure why you're talking about the 40k thread? I barely use it, my army is intended for 30k primarily. It's just convenient that bolter marines are bolter marines, and my models can be repurposed for a 40k game if it's easier to get games that way. I mainly just check it for SWA stuff lately.

Sorry, I meant to reply to this. I think questoris is just the ingame name for all knights based on the plastic ones. I suspect the weapons are the same as the rapid fire battle cannon etc from 40k

Only way can tell is to roll the mini around and try to spot the more matte black primer. What lighting are you using? I've got twin 6500k lamps on my desk in IKEA tertials

I bought them for a cheap lightbox actually. A lamp on either side with some tissue paper to diffuse the light, plus the ceiling light overhead. Painting is a secondary job for them.

Serious cupolatalk, I do wish that kit come with more than one cupola set for rhinos. That said, you can use the rest of the guns on the sets to add pintle weapons to other tanks, too - things like sicarans, land raiders, predators (and drat near anything else based on the land raider/spartan/sicaran/rhino chassis) can also accept an extra pintle-mounted gun.

I just took a silicone mold out of the cupola bits, so I can cast extras. Best of both worlds.

I found them ok to straighten out, but I force myself to unsee that sort of thing now. The spear shown here is from a terminator before fw released them for power armour. It was not fun to convert.

Yeah, mine are definitely in the range of "Good enough" for the most part. I assume the reason the Custodes got a plastic kit was to prevent Loyalist players from knowing the sadness of a resin spear.

Thanks! It seemed strange that they can also take Rapid Fire BC instead of the Questoris, I wasn't sure if there was some dumb OOP resin variant I'd missed.

Also those EC look delightful. In the fluff they started individually customizing their wargear, so there's no "wrong purple" from an historical perspective.

Thanks man. I thought hard about the purple I wanted and went for a really bright royal, I'm really pleased with how they came out. I'm using Kromlech bits and I'm going to add some laser lines to them plus some hot pink plates here and there. They're basically traitors early into the heresy so they're not all hosed up looking, but they're definitely doing a lot of coke and having a good time.
