So I'm converting my old Armorcast Shadowsword to be a Chaos Shadowsword as well as a Khorne Tower of Skulls for Apocalypse. I've got Thunderfire cannons to be the Doomfire Cannons, but I'm unsatisfied with the ideas I've gotten for the Skullfire cannons mounted in the tower. Just using plastic tubing is one answer, but didn't know if some of you out there had more creative (and much more interesting) ideas.

Chaos Hellcannon
I'm 99.9% sure that's what they used for the main cannon. I, however, am working with a smaller chassis and a much smaller bits bin, of course. I ended up using the smokestack bit from the Manufactorum building set, and that's where the tower segments are coming from, too.
That's the Balemaw cannon, though. I'm talking about the 6-shot guns that are up in the 2nd story of the tower, if you're looking at the pic from Apoc: Reload. I can't get a good idea of what GW used there.

Nah, they're six-shot, anti-power armor infantry guns.

So instead of Blood for the Blood God, you are looking for Khorne for the Khorne Dog? Just kidding, you traitorous scum...

I'm fairly certain that the Apocalypse Reload Skullreaper Cannons are cut down [URL="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300282&prodId=prod7808 81"]Dwarf Organ Gun[/URL] barrels; they're normally 4-in-a-row but have been cut down to three, and then two glued together to give a 6-barrelled weapon.

A catapult, from fantasy. lobing piles of flaming skulls counting as ordnance with no cover saves.
