Like many geeks, I like robots and power suits. Dreadnoughts and Titans have always been a big 40k draw for me. As a result one of the earliest miniatures that I painted for my Sin Eaters Chaos Space Marine Nurgle army was Rhinox.
There was only one weapon fit appropriate for a Dreadnought in those days: Twin Lascannon & Power Fist/Claw (I have no idea what, if anything makes Dreadnoughts competitive in the current 40k tournament climate, nor do I wish to know). There wasnt a twin-lascannon model available for Chaos Dreads then so I chopped up the twin-autocannon in the box and replaced it with two weapons cut from a Space Crusade dreadnought (I think).
Possibly I should have added more detail to the muzzles of the cannon while I was adding the trim that had been removed when cutting the autocannon off. On the other hand it does give the gun a pretty primitive and brutal look that is very suitable.
Other than the Lascannon arm the figure is unconverted apart from the added scuffs and dents etc.
