Looking on GW's Specialist Games site, I can find miniatures for normal Land Speeders but not Typhoon or Tornado variants. Does anyone know if they are/have been available?

The Tornado is a fairly simple weapons swap so could be managed with some plastic rod, etc., but if I need to go making Typhoons, anybody know of a suitable source of missile pods for a Typhoon?

The blister comes with enough pieces to make 5 Land Speeders, or 3 Land Speeders, 1 Typhoon and 1 Tornado, IIRC.

There may be enough pieces to make more than one Tornado I can't remember.

Just phoned them, apparently they only do the normal Land Speeder. Oh well, out with the plasticard.

That's a miscommunication between Phone Sales and Packaging department then.

It would be *more* difficult for them to package with just standard Land Speeders, as the casting sprues contain all the parts for the various Speeder types... I highly doubt they've got a guy "snipping off the extras" so they can package them just a Speeders.

Realize that *most* GW sales trolls don't have *any* experience with EPIC.

I recently bought 6 packs. You get 5 Speeders, 3 Multi-meltas, 1 set of Typhoon launchers, 2 Heavy Bolters, an Assault Cannon and a Heavy Flamer in each.

IIRC there's actually a different hull for the Land Speeder Typhoon that has attachment points for the missile pods.


The mail order troll has no idea what he's talking about.

Yep, 3 regular hulls, 1 hull for the Tornado with a hole on the bottom. and 1 hull for the Typhoon with a hole on the bottom and mounting points for the missile pods.

Well if anyone has any Typhoon missile pods going spare let me know. It looks like I need 4 pairs. Otherwise it's LOTS of cocktail sticks getting their ends chopped off and glued on. (MY EYES, MY EYES!)

This came up few months aho when store staff told us it was just 5 land speeders per blister - I bought a pack anyway and its still 3 LS, 1 typhoon, 1 tornado and a spare flamer per pack. (as of 2 weeks ago anyway)

I think it's a mail order staffer just looking it up on their website and repeating what's listed there.

Wasn't there a proxy suggestion for a skimmer that looked almost exactly like the Typhoon?  Cav or something?
