Brother_Dan'l Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 So what have been your most radical or even obvious conversions? I'm always kind of disappointed when I see a really nice army with straight from the box, bog standard tanks. Guys who spend hours converting "Marine with Bolter #4" but don't spend the same effort on their Predator really confuse me. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb219/Brother_Daniel/VindiMk2D.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb219/Brother_Daniel/Whirl2.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb219/Brother_Daniel/Whirl1.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb219/Brother_Daniel/Vindi1.jpg http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb219/Brother_Daniel/Vindi2.jpg I'll post additional pics as I get better with the camera. :P So what do your tanks look like?

Brother Corvus Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 My tanks don'y look as good as yours, that's for sure ;) On one of my rhino's i have the driver popping out of top hatch to say 'hello' to some orks.... with a bolter! But the rest remain unconverted :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=Dan=- Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 i love the panzerwerfer (i think thats how its spelt) anywayz, there cool. i just stick em, and paint em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Attaching those Wurfrahmen to a Rhino is a cool idea — I might steal that if I ever decide to add a Whirlwind to my army … Here's some photos of my conversions: Stats for this war machine were created using the vehicle design rules. Yes, this looks like an IG tank, but it's actually for my Lost & Damned army, so I suppose that makes it legal for this forum :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onisuzume Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Well, I guess that my Mk. I Pre-Great Crusade era Land Raider would count. ^^ (using an 1/35 scale brittish mark 4 tank as basis) My other Land Raider will be pretty basic. My rhino(s) will all be upgraded to Mk. IIIa Mars Pattern. (pretty easy to say since it's all in bitz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belchuil Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 I'm liking the vindicator! Front of the traks seem a little exposed for such an up close and in your face tank, but no matter. :ot: It's not a nebelwerfer, nebelwerfers are 6-barrel rocket launchers (artillery kind) on a field-gun like chassis.

Gurth Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 THAT MAUS IS PINK!!!! :angry: That's just so it fits the rest of the army … I think its called a Nebelwerfer. Wirbelvind is the AA gun mounted on a half track. No, they're Wurfrahmen (a more or less literal translation would be something like "Launch Frames"), which held, off the top of my head, 28- or 32-cm rockets. They were either set up on the ground or attached in sets of three to the sides of Sd.Kfz. 251 halftracks — which is probably where those on Brother_Dan'l's vehicle came from: a Tamiya 1/35th scale kit of such an Sd.Kfz. 251. The Nebelwerfer used 12-cm rockets IIRC, and came as a six-shot weapon on a two-wheeled carriage or a ten-shot weapon on the back of an armoured Maultier halftrack. Both launchers could be used to convert 40K vehicles, I think, but might look a little small to represent a Whirlwind. You could call it a rack of hunter-killer missiles, though.

Brother_Dan'l Posted July 28, 2007 Author Share Posted July 28, 2007 Gurth is dead on. The 251 hull got turned into a Griffon for my IG. I used the old EPIC Deathstrike Missiles in place of the giant bottle rockets that came in the kit. A little trimming, a little greenstuff and in they went. So come on folks, who else has conversions they want the world to see? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StratoKhan Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Gurth, your LatD tank looks really good. What's that stuff on the hull? And is it still WIP? The tracks don't look like they're supported by anything yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurth Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 What's that stuff on the hull? Model putty. It's supposed to represent Zimmerit, since the tank is converted to look as much like a WWII Panzer IV as you can make a Leman Russ look like that :D And is it still WIP? It is inasfar as it still hasn't been painted, about a year after I finished the conversion :P The tracks don't look like they're supported by anything yet. What do you mean, "yet"? :P The tracks look exactly like I want them to — as close to Panzer IV tracks as I could get them. That's to say, the entire running gear is from an Italeri Panzer IV kit (minus two road wheels and a return roller each side) while the tracks are separate-link Panzer III or IV tracks by Dragon. @Beef: I like your Challenger 2s, but IMHO modern MBTs are too big and sleek to use as 40K tanks — else I'd have several of them as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
