OK - I\'ve got to starting on the turret and outfitting it with weapons...
Here are my choices (Unless anyone can offer something else)
Multimelta
Stormbolter
Original kit\'s .50 cal HMG - Autocannon
And here\'s some pictures of them mounted on the pintle (Yes, I\'d fit them properly lol)
MultiMelta (Needs pinning and Trigger mounts)
Stormbolter (My favourite option so far)
.50 Cal (With annoying wonky thin plastic bits)
What are your thoughts?
...
ALSO - I found I had these in my bits box;
Old style Rhino bolters
Not sure I like them myself, but I thought I\'d show you anyway

i like the storm bolter
Barrel drilling goes without saying
Not sure about the grenade launcher as I dunno whether there\'d be an IG equivalent (Plus I imagine it\'d be too bulky)
But yeah, I\'ve seen those on Future weapons (With Mac \"Did I mention I was in the Navy SEALS?\" Machowicz) and they kick ass
I was thinking about possibly finding some sort of minigun or multibarelled MG, but I\'m not sure if IG can use assault cannons?
EDIT: I need arms! :/ Anyone got any spare Cadian style arms? I\'m popping into town tomorrow, so I might be able to nab some if anyone in GW has any spare...

That certainly is an old dark elf shield add-on. I don\'t particularly care for the way it pokes over the edge. Perhaps two in a V shape?
OK guys - I really would appreciate some feedback here...
I\'ve angled the left arm a little off - I wanted it resting flat on the edge of the turret, but at the angle it\'s at now I need to find something else for it to be doing...
I\'ve never quite understood why a tank commander would be pointing, and the arm\'s too low anyway...
Any suggestions?
Incidentally, the right arm is going to be holding a pair of Binos.
Also - here is what the stormbolter looks like on the pintle
