Kayesh Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 there was a thread on here where someone used the halo 3 quad vehicle as a land speeder duplicate - looked quite good, i think if anything that would be more fitting for a scout transport, or how about something like mini jet or jump packs like the elysians have, maybe bulk out a bit or something like the rocketeer or boba/jang fett uses ? or theres the quad vehicle they use at the start of star trek nemesis - cant remember the name though ! rocketeer - http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/0/3/103...tPack_thumb.jpg boba fett - http://media.photobucket.com/image/boba%20...edi_boba007.jpg jango fett - http://www.r2ro.com/images/arenajetpackcolors.jpg was never a fan of the big missile on boba fetts jump pack - preferred jangos to be honest also found this - clone trooper jetpack ! - http://images.entertainmentearth.com/%5CAU...5CHS91369lg.jpg http://rpggamer.org/shippics/cloneskytrooper.jpg or this http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/c/...operCaptain.jpg something like this may work better - sleek enough for personal scout use and not too bulky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShinyRhino Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 cool stuff there brother . i was thinking of a skinnier rhino without the back roof on and gun emplacements instead Like...a Chimera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Sounds more like a scout-variant salamander to me... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yeah maybe a mix of the 2 rhino and a salamander . ive seen a conversion somewhere but i cant think who done it or where i saw it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoby Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I've seen something similar to what you're after, can't remember where, but someone had a rhino with the roof hatch modelled as open with an armoured shield modelled on the front (similar to in the salamander scout vehicle) and a raised platform below the hatch, about the same width as the hatch allowing marines to fire from the top. If I ever think where I saw it I'll get you the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NemFX Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The Star Trek Nemesis vehicle is the Argo. There's a similar vehicle from Mechwarrior Dark Age. There's also the Hellbender from Unreal Tournament. Warthog from Halo. The jeep from Resistance fall of man. etc. I suggest you make the very old Imperial Skimmer. Aka the deodorant flyer. The Kite tank from Mechwarrior, basically.

Tinus Maximus Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 What about a transport variant of a skimmer? Like with an extended loading bay for troops in the rear. I think there was a very good conversion used with scouts on the B&C a while ago.... Don't remember where.. Anyway, it had a little 'Black Hawk Down' Little Bird feeling to it. I think if I had to choose I'd go for something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Dan'l Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Or you could just wait a couple of months till the new Land Speeder comes out. :) But if you want a track, take a look at using the old Rhino. It's smaller in every dimension and the kit design is better suited to conversion (thinner plastic with fewer interlinked parts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 oooh another scout army, these puppies are growing in popularity.. As for vehicles im not sure what your direction is, if your using anything other than the LSS then your going into the realms of homegrown rules! This is ok, i was just wondering what rules you were going to use for this 'scout salamander-esque thing-me-bob' GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 scout salamander sounds about right i was thinking of a sort of razor back but open topped with gun placements maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinus Maximus Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Perhaps something Bren Carrier like? (if it's to be open topped) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drazz Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I have a couple of converted Land Speeders that have been brought to ground. Add wheels, take off the wings, and you have a light scout vehicle (think jeep). Need to swap out the marine bodies, too, if you truly want them to be look like scouts though. If interested, I'll take a couple pics and post them this weekend. edit: Not mine, but a quick search brings up something pretty close: http://coolminiornot.com/80006 http://coolminiornot.com/46859 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 not bad pics there from cmon . the bren carrier is more to what im thinking but sort of rhino size . maybe wih no back just a sort of flat platform with a hand rail in the middle . id draw what im thinking if i could draw lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Check this site out, they've got a lot of cool vehicles, many would be great for scout transport. http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/25vehicles.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 i found this pic this is the sort of thing i was thinking of http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll160/maddog7558/large1.jpg http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll160/maddog7558/large.jpg this dude has done some awesome work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 That honestly looks like its supposed to be represent a Predator to me. Main weapon Autocannon and two side heavy bolters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Eight Posted May 18, 2009 Author Share Posted May 18, 2009 yeah i see what u mean but it is the sort of thing i have in mind for a scout transport / support vehicle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindaris Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Its not a bad idea, but if you wanted transport ability just use the Razorback as a template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
