Caught this in Priests of Mars and thought it sounded neat. The Iron Fist: an open-topped variant of the Rhino chassis with a quad-mounted battery of heavy bolters fitted to its glacis. Developed from a scrap of STC data uncovered on forgeworld Porphetus prior to its loss to the Tyranids. It has yet to receive full Mechanicus ratification. Maybe a 6+ save instead of 5+ to denote the open-top (like how Griffon/Salamander are AVs but with one worse save than Chimera). For weapons, 2x AP4+ at 30cm or maybe just an AP3+? |

Interesting Indeed.....But it would need to go into a Rhino Chassis list......atm AM is Chimera based. Maybe the Explore Fleet would be Rhino Based? |

The Stenberg Explorator list uses Rhinos. It sounds like something the Mechanicus would build and use, but I'm not sure of its utility in a list - there is no shortage of short-ranged AP firepower as it is. Perhaps if it had FF4+/CC6+, it could add some engagement punch to mounted Skitarii? The skitarii usually wants to get into CC, it would be nice with a unit that wants to hang back. |
