Weapon placement question
I am in the process of building a cadian air cavalry, think black hawk down. I have used landspeeders and heavily modified them.
I have 2 that I have extended to proxy as chimera transports. 2 that have been adapted that will proxy salamander scouts and 1 land speeder storm that is going to proxy a salamander command vehicle.
Originally my plan was to have all the weapons man operated on swivel mounts, but I changed my mind and opted to hull mount the heavy bolters to each and have the turret weapons man operated.
Now I have got that far with the first chimera, I'm in two minds. If I hull mount it, it seems more realistic because there would be space for 12 men on the deck. But I think the manned swivel mounts would look good too.
Because how small the salamanders are, (not extended land speeders and the fact I need to fit an auto cannon, I will have to hull mount the heavy bolters.
What are people's thoughts?
