WH40K - Baneblade Conversion - Stormhammer

... or as Mr Bean once said, "look at all those guns!"

Seeing as Project Bull Grox will have given me some much coveted extra sponsons for my second Baneblade, the easy part of constructing the Stormhammer will be giving it four twinlinked heavy bolters and four lascannon turrets. It probably won't have the forward twinlinked heavy bolter turret, as there won't be enough room with the battle cannon turrets.
The higher, rear turret will have the two long barrelled battle cannon - one from this kit and one from the Grox.
I bought a third from The War Store, but I will place that on the turret of a Leman Russ, making into a Vanquisher. The shorter forward turret will receive the short battle cannon from the Leman Russ, and the one I used a couple of years back to convert a Chaos Defiler into an Imperial Sanctifier (long story - I blamed some unemployed Squats and a deranged Tech Priest). The forward turret will have access hatches but no extra weaponry. The rear turret will have hatches and stub guns or storm bolters.
The main challenge will be making all the spare Baneblade turret bits into two convincing double-gunned turrets. I may look at some WWI and WWII battleship pictures for reference.
