Rindaris Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Being the lover of mechanized SM list and templately goodness I had to start making a Helios... http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jeskasl/SANY0563.jpg I got the Land Raider chassis at GenCon out of a bits bin so don't bash for me for the poor assembly on the right side. I plan to fill that in once I get the stuff to do so. I also need to come up with some sponson optic targeters still and something to fill in the frontal section. I'm thinking of getting an Immolator cockpit and modifying it to fit there.

Snozz Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Spare gubbins from a razorback sprue and some plasticard could build a turret of sorts at the front. Maybe stick that piece for space marines from the tank command sprue in the front hatch section for the targetting device, and file and glue on a hatch else-where so you actually have a hatch. ;) Good luck with the project I want to see some painted piccies :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144231-land-raider-helios/#findComment-1671670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 yes to the immolator cockpit idea! You could really give this tank an ol' WW Anti-infantry gun ship look :lol: as for optical targeters, the imperial armor upgrade sprue from apocalypse had some bits that were good for such an idea-- they can be purchased on most bit selling web sites Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144231-land-raider-helios/#findComment-1671904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y24/jeskasl/SANY0568.jpg Partially painted to see how the cockpit would look. If I do stick with the gunner pod idea its gonna need some more work to make it look more refined.

The_Chaplain Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 oh man, consider that idea stolen for the redeemer kit LOL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/144231-land-raider-helios/#findComment-1672017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 There is a marine in that gunner pod as well. It took quite a bit of modifying to make it work. Alot more then I thought it would as well. Once I get it to the point that I'm really happy with it I'll take more closeup pictures of it. However this project is on hold while I paint up my Knight Paladin to submit it to BoLS.
