yaxet Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi, I used to play 40k way back in 3rd ed, and recently some friends got me back into it. I decided to play Imperial Guard, and thought to save money I'd try and scratch build some of the vehicles. Not knowing the first thing about how to build something like a chimera i sat down with some plasticard and foam board and came up with a wheeled chimera idea (basically a cross between a chimera and a stryker afv) I was rather pleased with the result, and even airbrushed it to test the color scheme I had in mind for my Guard (The front panel got messed up and needs to be repainted and the wheels aren't done.) All was looking up but then I got a great deal on the marine half of 4 black reach box sets and suddenly became a marine player. Luckily i had not purchased anything for IG and only had this tank, but now I don't know what to do with it, I don't really want to save it for a Inquisitional transport, and I had thought of putting a rhino type view port on the front and using it as a razorback but then I wouldn't know how to put side doors on it (the panels on the side are much to small to be easily turned into a ramp) any suggestions on this would greatly be appreciated Also I thought I'd share a photo of some Landspeeders I'm working on (they have a long way to go) and this is my first post on this site, and I thought id mention how great of a community you guys have here, its the best 40k site I have found so far. http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/0630091411.jpg?t=1246390354 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/0630091413a.jpg?t=1246391408 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/0630091418a.jpg?t=1246391500 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/0630091413.jpg?t=1246391575 http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/yaxet/0630091420.jpg?t=1246391647 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmetor Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi there, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news (and i feel especially guilty for telling you this since you're returning to the game) but this is a power armour only board, so will very likely get locked by the mods. You've some great work there, and I hope you visit us with your SMs/SoBs/etc Try this forum for guard - http://s4.invisionfree.com/Boot_Camp Best of luck ~D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Actually it's not all bad. The Chimera isn't allowed, the Landspeeders are ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaxet Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 Sorry didn't mean to break the rules, the funny thing is I'm trying to make it into a marine vehicle. Oh well I'm sure i will figure out what to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiplash Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Actually it's not all bad. The Chimera isn't allowed, the Landspeeders are :D techniacally if the chimera is for your SM force then it is legal here nice conversion, the landspeeders look cool too, they are tempest speeders aren't they?

yaxet Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 They are going to be run as regular landspeeders, I just really like the tempest's design, and a closed cockpit made them much easier to create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmetor Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Sorry if i seemed abit sharp then. You mentioned you wanted to start guard so i guess i jumped the gun abit. The tank looks kindof like a razorback. Maybe add some more armour to the sides (it looks alittle vunerable) and whack on some imperial eagles.

yaxet Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 No worries, honestly its my fault if i had read the forum rules i would have titled it differently. Its not necessarily wrong to assume that a post that is titled Chimera Help!, is about guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naysmith Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Well the Tempests look like they are are made of paper and you used some plans i did see some time ago. There are some plans for Paper Rhinos somewhere to find in the www and they do look great. Some one will know the link where to find it or the keyword for google, i forgot sorry. Keep up the good work. cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Zach Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Those look great!!!!!! I love the idea of a wheel based chimara instead of the tracked ones. Those would go great with my airborne units!!!! Also, there are Inquisitor posts in this forum. Inquistor armies use the chimeras so i don't think its too forbidden lol.

Aidoneus Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Some one will know the link where to find it or the keyword for google, i forgot sorry. Google "paperhammer 40k" I think it's the first link. There are tons of templates to download at the bottom of the page. I mean, TONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
