Having worked as a farmer and woodcutter for most of my life i became determined to do something that would leave my mark after i was gone. Since then i got back to studies, and i have now a master degree in Electrotecnical Engineering as well as a degree on Electromechanical Engineering. On my free time i like playing and so i became interested in creating my own games or, in the shorter term, modding games to get something closer to what i would like games to be.
I was honestly a bit disappointed at the fact that the FoK/PoK inquisition razorback only had a main weapon (psycannon) which considering the possible weapon choices for razorbacks (even the ones used by the inquisition in 40k) was a shame.Simply using the Space Marine razorback would not be adequate as it would be a waste of the inquisition related decorations of the FoK/PoK Inquisition Razorback/Rhino.
With all that in mind I decided to convert the regular SM razorback with the parts from the inquisition one, thus creating a variant with Inquisition looks but a greater variaty of weapons.
What remains to be decided is wether I keep both versions as different units (the psycannon one useful against daemons and the regular one useful for other enemies) or if I should replace the heavy bolter with the psycannons and use just the converted version.
Now this is something useful. I might add that it could be nice to add a Heavy Flamer as yet another weapon option.
This thing has heavy bolters, lascannons, heavy flamers and assault cannons as possible main weapons. Additionally it has the storm bolter near the front. Just like the original space marine razorback has.

As I said in the description pretty much the Inquisition version in FoK/PoK has the good looks but lacks the weapon variety.
The SM version has the weapon variety and could be made to have the Inquisition good looks.
Don't be hard on 'em man...
It is codex after all and they get screwed over big time, because of the codex psychosis.
Psycannon is GK Allies?
"Grey Knight Ally Razorback","Psyback"?
Good adaption. Long after the models development.
It was meant to be simply an observation of the differences between the 2 models. FoK/PoK assets are pretty good for FFE work the last thing I would want to do would be complaining if I am not completely satisfied with the wargear of one particular model.
After all, if they both had the same weapons available I would have no reason to make these experiments :D
On the psycannon I am not sure the origin of the weapon (in what relates to razorbacks), most of the times the wargear options include psybolts to replace normal bolts but no mention of psycannons. I've checked different versions of GK rules and Inquisition rules but the wargear is mostly the expected from an SM razorback but with the option to acquire psybolt ammunition and psyflame ammunition (?).
If I were to mix the wargear of the original inquisition razorback in FoK with the SM one, i would likely replace the default heavy bolter with the psycannon object and change the fx and possibly sounds to that of psybolts used by some grey knight's units.
That way instead of a pretty common anti-infantry wargear option that can be easily covered by the storm bolter, players could have anti-daemon weapons.
The FoK Inquisition related units reveal a bit of an incomplete masterwork, something that is easily explained by the lack of people for 3d work as many have their own projects or left in the meantime. I suppose someone meant to expand those assets but time ran out and things were left as they were. Luckily they included those assets in the releases even if not completely used as that allows other people like myself to do some FFE work.
Origin of psyback is here:

Around the time of the release of the Dameonunters, FW released this.
I do not think there was any rules for it besides the fluff of FW.
As with most things FW it is all fluff. Consent, Consent, Consent...
I think through these hazy eyes that was what you were looking for.
I've got to wake up soon after enough coke. :P
Pretty much the only thing I could find around is the psybolts.
There are lots of psycannons being used by grey knights but nothing directly related with the razorback.
I suppose the rules FW made should be in one of those Imperial Armour books.
Regardless of that, for me the psycannons are just an excuse to have powerful anti-daemon weapons :P

Thanks for the info!
As expected it comes in one of the Imperial Armour books.
That is all I could find about the model. :P
I went through all my IA. :P
There would have been a datasheet years ago, but I no have it...
I thought I would have nothing for you. :P
Don't worry, i like to have the rules for inspiration but since in this case the weapon was already used in the razorback it is just a matter of making it similar to infantry psycannons but likely higher damage due to two cannons firing simultaneously.
When I saw the suggestion of the 2nd edition of that particular IA book at forgeworld below the description I supposed that book had the rules.
