Renault Pattern Thump Gun
Options: Several different options for Main gun (firing, idle) Two types of magazine (normal and open-side) Gun Shield is optional Hull armor is optional Ammunition and Accessories Crew NOT included Lore: During the centennial clearing of the STC archives on Renault, an ancient template was found date from the '80s (40,080s). Records are partially destroyed, but it seems this STC had originally been acquired by Renault from an ab-human race known as the squirts. An intense minok infestation had destroyed the portion of the STC describing the self-propelled gun carriage, but instruction for the weapon itself, called Thump Gun, was able to be recovered. Fortunately, the factory-world of Renault produced its own semi-autonomous self-propelled gun carriage! Design Notes: This was inspired by the old-school Thudd gun from the Rouge Trader days. It always bothered me that there were only two magazines that load into the top. Seems like there should be four, amiright? The design was also influenced by the German Whirblewind AA tank's turret. I couldn't choose between the two magazine styles so I made all poses of the main gun with both. My only complaint is that the recoil mechanism keeps the gun from elevating more than 25 degrees. However, this is similar to the original RT-miniature. This should be a suitable stand-in for a Thudd Gun/Heavy Quad Launcher, Rapier Quad Launcher, or maybe even a Thunder-fire cannon. I'm planning on releasing several version of this with different loadouts (Quad Gatling laser, quad mortar, quad heavy banger, gravity cannon) I've decided to list them separately because certain factions may only find one or two of the variants useful. If you want to catch them all and are patient, you may want to wait for the final compilation to get a discount. grimdark 30k 40k warhammer thudd gun heavy quad launcher imperial guard astra militarum rapier renault miniatures sci fi sci fi
