Predator Executioner Turret


Recommended Posts

Not a great photo but this is my conversion, using the Leman Russ plasma cannon:

Going to try this but with the old metal round turret. Good to see it works with the plastic kit. :)

Thats a great conversion, I have see a few of these on google.

 

SW1 - post a pic when you've done it.

 

I am doing mine with the SR PC as they are spare bits I already have. I will post pics when I have cut n shut it.

Will do and likewise post a pic once your done. :D

I have used the Turret from the SR kit and the 2 Plas Cannons from the Land Speeder Vengeance - I liked the over size look and the DA iconography.  (My latest version that is)

 

Can you post a pic of this, it sounds awsome.

I think it's a solid idea, what about using the housing from a Baal predator kit? It should cover up most of the cuts and joins while also looking like a 40k take on the Deimos pattern.

Maybe a side by side size comparison will help you decide on your design.

I found a TLLC from forgeworld, on ebay, If I win that I will convert that instead. It looks like the turret from the executioner, but with TLLC.

 

Just looked, its the forgeworld deimos pattern predator.

 

I did think of the baal turret, it would be much easier, no need for plasticard.

 

After doing a play around with the pic of the scale PC and turrets, I now have a much better idea of where to cut and file the cannons and the turrets. Thanks.

Is it the turret and gun? Or just the gun alone? The turret piece itself fits the IVb predator with a tiny bit of pushing.

Like so. I will say it does either sit too far forward or back compared to a full Deimos kit and with a small gap due to the turret mounting lip on the hatch, but it's nothing too bad, also given the shorter length of your main gun it should line up about right.

Nice tanks, very nice.

 

Its just the gun, so will need some adjustments to fit the standard predator turret. I might not win it, not going to go crazy, my original plan will suffice.

 

Thanks for all pics they will help a great deal.

Well I'm currently working on converting some old metal turrets using the plastic IG executioner weapon. Here's where I'm up to ...

I'm working on a conversion right now, and I haven't got to the turret yet, but I've got the leman russ bits for the plasma destroyer. I don't want to use the modern turret because I want something round like the kit, but I have no idea what to use for a hemispherical base. If anybody has any ideas for what to use as a base, I'd like to hear them.

Sure - Sorry only just noticed you asked - Still WIP:

Sorry if the image is quite large / over exposed I only had the iPad to hand to take the pics.

SW1, that predator turret conversion is flippin' brilliant.

Cheers mate. Now trimmed off the bit that sticks out the back. Think it won't need much more tweaking. There will be many of these appearing shortly as reinforcements. Just tweaking the propagation protocols. Just need to get all the metal turrets cleaned up to accept the weapon upgrades.

 

Lol ... I'll then need to 'fix' all the oop old school rhino tanks to fit them on.

Here's where the turret ended up ...

Think it's looking alright. Just need to decide if I should stick some power cells on the back of the turret.
