Daft question, buying my first Rhino tommorow but I was wondering. In it's current form does the boxed Rhino allow you to have a Space Marine opertating the Pintle mounted Storm Bolter ontop, on the pictures of the assembled model you can see the Bolter but I haven't seen any with a Marine operating it from the hatch.

Apologies for the seemingly stupid question!

(PS I owned a Rhino ages ago and it just had two fixed roof mounted Bolters so I'm assuming it was an older model)

Not daft, we've all gotta start somewhere.

To answer your question: yes it does include an operator, two different variants if i recall correctly.

Excellent thanks alot!

Personally, I think they look a bit goofy sticking out the hatches. The rhino model isn't to correct scale and it ends up looking like a clown car when a marine is sticking out the top. Before you glue anything, test fit the pieces and see if you like it. Chances are, you will see what I mean and opt to not have a marine out the top.

Either way, enjoy building the model.

I wouldn't even bother with weapons because the Rhinos are just going to die anyway.

dont buy a rhino buy the razor back then you can use it as either and they cost the same

 

[Dawnstar]

good point actually. I would buy the razor back and just use it as either a rhino or razor back depending on what's in your list as it gives you more options

Does the Rhino box have anything the razorback's doesn't?

 

[Vaz]

Nothing. Even the price tag is the same, for some moronic reason.

No need to glue that piece at all really. If you follow the other advice and pick up a Razorback kit you'll want to have the Stormbolter there when it's a Rhino and swap it for the plain hatch doors when it's a Razorback. Obviously you don't want to glue the doors/turret collar part on top either.

Regarding the original question; an easy way to find out what bits come with a kit you're interested in is to just do a google image search for "(unit name) sprue".
