Does anyone have any ideas on how to convert a mockingbird. I am stumped as to how to fit three vibrocannons on a viper.

I think the problem is that you are trying to use the same cannons as on the suport weapon platforms. It is not, it just mimcs teh effect.
I suggest you get a brightlance, make a corkscrew-like structure all along the length fo the barrel (like the old Vibro-cannon) and proudly proclaim that this is your Sonic cannon.

IIRC the really old Eldar Titans used to have a VibroCannon arm. Not sure of the scale of these, but if you could scrounge three of them off eBay they might work...

You expect to fit three weapons from a Titan onto a Vyper ?

I like Rasmus's idea better. Or if nothing else, just scrounge together spare parts and try ti convert something that looks like a smaller version of the current Vibro-cannnons.
Considering my chosen armies are Vampire Counts and Night Lords, yes, I think "Back from the dead" is probably the most accurate description of my return.

I should have said, I meant Epic Titans!
