Decoy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 All right. As I've been perusing how to best create a fast-assault/Wheeled-assault Wolf force, I came across this little conversion on ... A well-known auction site (I'm not certain I can say the name without risking Mod intervention.) ON EDIT: I can't seem to post the picture itself, so... I guess I have to offer up a link. Space Wolf Buggy-style Speeder While I think the front cab is a bit too far forward and would need some bulking up, how do people feel about this particular model or type of conversion? More importantly, how would you, my fellow Wolves, accept seeing such a model on the board instead of a genuine Land Speeder? (I tend to take "Fight with their feet on the ground" fairly strictly in terms of Skimmers, et cetera. To me, Speeders just don't seem... Wolfy.) In terms of rules, I have no problem about giving up certain "Speeder" benefits, like ignoring intervening terrain, as a houserule. I guess my question is; Would you allow this as a Counts As, or is it too far gone in terms of Conversions (as speeders must be mounted on their base for determining LOS, et cetera)?

Grey Mage Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I love me some landspeeders. I like their fluff, and I think the 'feet on the ground' bit is overdone. We have a space fleet that would make a segmentum fleet flinch, so whats the problem? Anyways... I like it. Its a cool conversion. Ive seen similar things thrown down before and not once a complaint.... as long as it was obvious it was NOT an attack bike. LOS isnt an issue here- it goes both ways, and I have a pair of speeders on short bases from 4rth ed- theyre probly only about 3mm higher than that puppy. Nor should you give up any rules- its a counts-as model, the rules dont chance just the package got prettier *in the eye of the beholder anyways*. So have fun, enjoy.

Niiai Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Yeah. If you are in a Halo x-box game. Good conversions, I just thinks it is a pitty they are on wheels. Perhaps in he cut them of and used them like hoower plates like the wheel ins back to the future 2.

wolfpack Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Actually, the original buggy conversion was done for the VDR rules when they first came out ...many moons ago...IIRC...will have to get out my CA set and check them...for a date but am pretty sure that conversion has been around for quite a few years...

Schertenleib Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I have some of the Warthogs that I will convert (someday), but I do like the speeder conversion better. Anyone know how it was done?

Schertenleib Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Well, you got me moving on this for the first time in a year. Here's a Warthog converion. Just did it today so I hope to get it painted soon. (or at least within the next 12 months) -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221276-alternative-land-speeder-model/#findComment-2649470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 They all look great! and I use to love working/converting minis and using many parts outside of GW range. I changed that train of thought/habit after.. just didn't want to run across certain people who have issues with non GW product on tournaments. Since then, I tried to keep most of my work within the GW range. That said, those worthogs are awesome! I've always wanted to do it. Anyway, here are a few ideas that may be good for alternative land speeders. - http://the-lost-and-the-damned.664610.n2.n...-td5008228.html (I love the old WWII jeep look) - http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/user/30889-easytiger.html (I might do something similar for my land speeders! I love helicopters as one of my good mates is a chopper pilot) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221276-alternative-land-speeder-model/#findComment-2649511 Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivepointedstar Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I thought about using these as land speeders once. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...LT_VEHICLE.html of one of these. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...OS-VENATOR.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221276-alternative-land-speeder-model/#findComment-2660438 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I've actually seen those used once. They look quite nice when the crew are replaced with Space Marines, especially after suitable conversions. I've never seen it used with Space Wolves, though.
