The big hole in my SM army at the moment is Hunters to supply AA. I keep an eye on eBay but they seem very expensive!

Anyone done conversions of rhinos? Those I have heaps of, and am happy to modify some!

I've got some Old Crow missile turrets I plan to basically smack onto rhinos and call them chaos Hunters - but then my army is going to include a fair number of more out there proxies ..

I seem to recall someone sculpted a range of addon turrents designed for rhinos but I can't find it - anyone? Did I make this up?

Try shapeways. there's a guy who makes pred/razorback/hunter conversion kits that are top notch.

You could try MK I Whirlwinds, assuming you don't already use them for Whirlwinds.

These could be used with minimal effort. You could add a small piece of sprue to beef up the turret part a bit or use a somple turret like this one, for the base:

Alternatively, combine it with some of the small hatches/turrets from EW, like the radar dome:

This could work too:

I need to get a picture of my Hunter up. It was pretty poor, but I did it before the mini was released, and consists mostly of the plastic tube you get with a paint brush, cut in half lengthways and added to a turret section.

the conversion using the bastion kit parts is smart!

I may go for the shapeways kit, but then I just saw the delivery price and nearly fainted!
