Default "RhinoCycle"???

Ok I dont have a name so I will simpley call it a Rhino Cycle until you all help me come up with a better name.

Basically Hobbes posted about me making the unicycle from Star Wars.
So I thought Dang It! why does he do that to me?! Darn I hate whe things that sound cool get stuck in my head because then I need to build them.

Ok not to look like or be like the Star Wars version I wanted a 40K version that was both high armored and fast moving with a good amount of fire power.

So I made this.
It has magnetic side sponsons and the single driver would climb in and out behind the guns into the side access points.
I have magnetized both the bolters and lascannons so you get a nice swivel out of the magnets and can switch in and out for whatever you want.



Ok if you dont like it dont blame me its all Hobbes fault... Oh but if you do like it then its both mine and Hobbes idea....* ;D

The smurf wount fit.. well not in armor anyways.

I was thinking it would be better as a servitor and machine spirit controlling and driving shooting it.

But maybe no marine at all.
I just built it to build wasn't thinking of it for actual game terms.
But for guard shure have a leman russ to kit bash?

Theoretically it would never work well, you have to have 2 tracks for a tank to be able to turn, so that would just go forwards until it's told to stop or hits something. Nice idea though.

Ok here it is with the added and much needed improvements.
Here it is with the driver and side anti grav supports and thrusters to turn it attched and the HUDs inside all set.

Front




side with driver





and the hud and controls

LOL I love the marine crammed inside
Nice model, not such a great idea.
I still love it though.

But SubZ is right- how can it turn?

How does it turn? same way I turn when I am going over 100 on my street bike lean just a little and you will change hole lanes.
No turning involved.
But see the large anti grav stabalizers sticking out both sides I say they can cause enough force to turn it.

Thanks.

Well I also thought it was a little narrow and to lightly armored so after awhile of cutting down a set of Forge World extra armour for the Predator I was able to do this.

Front



side




back


Thanks again everyone for the feedback and advice to help me make this idea much better.

Heh, looks rather...anime like. Especially chaintinker's version. That one looks more like some insane Tau device than the SM one it's been made to be.
