"which look better for Autocannon's?" Topic

for 37mm Cannon, I can get them, they look nice but problem is it takes me a 2 hour drive(1 hour up 1 hour back) to go pick them up, and while they are not expensive ($7.99 per 37mm) they will ship, but I have to be there to pay beforehand(won't pay overphone) and ebay isn't an option either(no card).

OR

for 75mm Cannon, easier to get, looks nice and same price, and only is 15 minutes away(that store can't order 37's, already asked.

so, which do you think looks better? I love the 37mm, but it's hard to get, I am willing to trade also, so if you want to trade like set up a post, we could discuss details there.

Are we talking for 40k?
If so, go with the 75mm… I suspect the 37mm will look way too small next to GW figs. Model on a magazine feed, similar to the one found on the old Catachan metal Heavy Bolter and I'd say you're in business :)

Yes I'm talking 40K, these are going to be mounted on a 60mm base.

guess I should have mentioned that, lol but oh well.

Definitely the 75mm. As Splod says, the 37mm will be way too petite.

As for everyone else, alright, will do that, thanks for opinions.

Well's, you's could's order's some's barrels's from's combat's wombat's

combatwombatminiatures.com

The's turned's barrels's really's are's nice's!

Had to make a second post because I simply could not keep up with the "'s" stuff.

Anyway, an autocannon is supposed to be a relatively small caliber barrel that has a high sustained rate of fire. I would suggest that you group some of the combat wombat barrels around a round piece of stock (like a small dowel) you can get the look of a massive fire rate weapon.

Well, the IG autocannon is about the same barrel diameter as a 1/35 scale 5cm gun. (I've got a PaK40 somewhere, it's a lot bigger than the IG autocannon).

I'd honestly consider buying a 28mm scale Gatling gun (or bits-order a Privateer Press 'chain gun') instead.

That's "Grammar Nazi."

no, that Grammer Pirate, GrammARGH, say it with me, GrammARGH

I spell things how they are pronounced and never once heard a GrammARGH Pirate.

The 1/35th scale gun you are looking at will be about four inches long and about 1/4" near the breach, I don't know how much of the kit you are planning on using aside from the barrel.

the 7.5cm guns actually looks quite good(I think) now that I've seen it.

Oh, I agree that a Pak40 looks awesome for either an IG autocannon or 'lascannon'.

But!

It's about twice the size of the GW model.

(Pak40 barrels make great replacements for the autocannon in a Predator tank, by the way)

my autocannon team.

I am a grammar ninja. I see the flaw in your grammar. I wait. I do nothing. No one sees me. Then I steal the shogun's war plans and escape into the night.

The " ' " wasn't a plural but an abreviation, much like won't or can't. It just replaced "mm".

Right, now I'm off to find a life.

@ PaintedMetal: lol, then "go find one" I ask for opinion and I get no lifer's haha, oh well, at least a couple people had a life(the ones who commented on the actual question) rather then derail it.

@ Sindri: I like your autocannon team. What models are they, and what faction/game is it for?

Well, the gun looks like a Dragon 1/35 PAK40, but with the barrel in the recoil position.

I'm not sure what the crew are, unless they're Warzone plastics… Bauhaus?

I'm guessing it's for an Imperial Guard army in Warhammer 40k because of the large round base.

they are Bauhaus Heavy Gunner troops(the one with minigun's) and they are for my new Imperial Guard Army "Abwehr Defender's" I even have their codex all written out.
