Could someone give me advice on a Warhammer 40k Tank?
I am getting one of those Space Marine Strike Forces next week, and it comes with a Whirlwind. My army could do without such a tank, but a Predator Tank could be invaluable.
How could I convert a Whirlwind into a predator?
-NOTE: Sponsons already acquired
Well, there’s no specific way to convert a whirlwind in to a predator using only the parts in the whirlwind kit. Obviously, if you buy the predator kit you can get the turret off that, but this approach rather defeats the object – if you buy the predator kit you might as well build the Whirlwind and have two tanks!
You can look on eBay for a cheap Pred and rip off its turret.
You could try to scratchbuild a turret from plasticard (styrene sheet), tubing and lots of superglue and putty. But this is a time-consuming and demanding task even for the most experienced modeller.
Finally, you could track down a 1/72 scale tank, such as a Challenger, Abrams or Leopard. Nick the turret off that, assemble it and stick it onto the top of your Predator for something unique and distinctive.
Mind you, tank kits aren’t much cheaper than Predator kits, so it’s your call…
Frankly, I’d say “go with the Whirlwind”. They can do direct fire under the 5th edition rules and their multiple blast markers can be devastating even at short range.
