Working with manufacturers JTTF Industries, they removed the turrets from three surplus C4H6 Hog artillery vehicles and, after modifying and reinforcing the turret rings, paired them with turrets taken from a trio of damaged Rheinmetall RA16A2 Helheims, dubiously obtained through the grey market. As well as a pair of massive gatling coil guns, these are also armed with twin launchers for the Heliodorus&#8217; <em>Gerakiou<\/em> variant of the ubiquitous Kestrel anti-tank missile. The resulting variant is known as the C4G6 <em>Gorgon<\/em>, and the three vehicles (now named Stheno, Euryale, and Medusa by the crews) have proved to be very effective in urban actions supporting the regiment&#8217;s infantry. After the success of the conversions, JTTF are now rumoured to be marketing other heavily armed versions of the Centurion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15091\" style=\"width: 860px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/HS6-2218.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15091\" data-attachment-id=\"15091\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/2024\/08\/the-monstrous-sisters\/hs6-2218\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/HS6-2218.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1024,771\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"HS6-2218\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;6mm Centurion Gorgon&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/HS6-2218-1024x675.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/HS6-2218-850x478.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"850\" height=\"478\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-15091\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/HS6-2218-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.brigademodels.co.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/HS6-2218-250x141.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">6mm Centurion Gorgon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Gorgon is available in both 6mm and 15mm.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brigademodels.co.uk\/product\/centurion-c4g6-gorgon\/\">HS15-2218<\/a> &#8211; Centurion C4G6 Gorgon &#8211; \u00a320.00<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/brigademodels.co.uk\/product\/centurion-c4g6-gorgon-2\/\">HS6-2218<\/a> &#8211; Centurion C4G6 Gorgon &#8211; \u00a32.50<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we have a new addition to the stable of Centurions, the multi-wheeled campaign vehicles used by many mercenary forces in the Hammerverse.
