    Converting Razorbacks?

    Hi people, I'm currently working on a small Space Marines army and I was wondering if anyone of you had good suggestions for making Razorbacks? The whole army is to be done as cheaply as possible, I'm using all second hand stuff and so on (at least for now, not sure what to do about fliers, or, much worse this lander thing. 50€ from GW!?). I saw some nicely done ones made from Rhinos and Ork battlewagon gun turrets. Any other suggestions?

    thanks.

    I used binoculars from the 40K Cadian/Catachan heavy weapon teams for the turrets (on old style hulls), which seemed to work out pretty well.

    That's a great idea! I used old autopistols and laspistols with the bottom shaved off myself... now I'm thinking about a retrofit.

    That looks much better than my solution.

    Love the binoculars!

    I made a Razorback for my Commander out of a plastic Whirlwind that happened to have a broken missile pod. I chopped off the missile 'wings' and added a gun to the turret. (Twin heavy bolters from a Thunderhawk in this case, since I randomly had it spare, but the other suggestions here are probably a bit more affordable...)
