They did have models... they were small single-barreled guns that plugged into the rear two holes on the plastic warlord titan (Where the banner poles normally go).

I'd snap a few pics of mine but unfortunately the titan that carries them is packed away ATM :(

I don't know if that's the low-res pic you mean, E&C.

No, the only pictures I've seen of them have been on ebay.

Yep, I mounted that on a couple of my titans and even on Rhinos as a Flak Tanks ... I posted pics in the 6mm modeling section ... ?:D

1/350th scale CIWS mounts?

(If only I could find a source for them that doesn't involve buying a $75 model ship!)

The Epic Assault-Cannons from dreadnougts would do it :)

As the design of a multi-laser has changed since those miniatures were made, all you need is a 40k-scale lasgun barrel & muzzel.

Multilasers look more like lascannons with several tightly bound barrels than a clear gatling system now. Lasguns, although not perfect, are pretty close.

Well, gatling system wouldn't really be needed for lasers (as I doubt that they heat the barrel on firing).

I was just wondering about this (with regard to Inquisitor rules for multilasers, actually): do they actually revolve?

I always assumed that they did. However you're right that the newer models don't seem to have that many barrels, rather one clover-shaped one. Anyone got one to hand - does it look like it revolves?

As for a "fluff" explanation, the laser capacitor might take an amount of time (perhaps only a fraction of a second), but a weapon with several laser barrels and capacitors could fire more frequently, perhaps. Uh, but that would still require the same amount of power...

Lord =I=

The Rapier light support weapons in SM1 and 2 are multilasers.  And both the Mk.1 and 2 have 4 barrels, stacked 2x2 ... So unlike a Gatling type weapon of today or even a multi-barreled Power Gun used on Hammer's AFVs (M9s main or M2s secondaries), the Epic Multilasers should not need to revolve ... But regardless the Titan Multilaser do look cool !  :cool:
