Reaver Titan Carapace Vulcan Mega Bolter

Hello Titanseers, welcome back, thanks for dropping by. Since the Reaver Titan was released around about 2006 by Forge World they have consistently failed to provide a number of options for the Titans, there was the Turbo Laser Redoubt which was a proto-Carapace design and abandoned and made into a Redoubt Bunker instead. Once Adeptus Titanicus was released with several carapace options for the Reaver, there was a glimmer of hope more carapace options would come available - alas none have come and some arm weapon options have been removed (Chainfist). So some people have retro-designed based on the AT variants and scaled up to produce 3D Prints. This is such a weapon which came with a recent 2nd-hand Reaver purchase - the mighty Vulcan Mega-Bolter (VMB).

This sculpt is slightly (10%) too small and the carapace plug is moderately (25%) to large for the Reaver and considerably (50%) too shallow to fit the FW Reaver, however it is passable and needs must. Once I get a 3D Printer up and running, maybe I will upscale the .STL files and adjust the fitting-plug.

I painted this to match the same as my converted Carapace Vulcan Mega Bolter

I quite like the low profile this one has with the side-slung ammo hoppers. The advantage of VMB over a Apocalypse Missile Launcher is six shots and possibility of more with sixes. So on a Close Combat orientated Engine this may be more appropriate, besides I like the 'dakka dakka' this represents! 

Here is a sneak preview of the 2nd-hand Reaver, was Legio Defensor, will obviously be re-painted to Legio Astorum!

Cheers, Siph
