A couple of years ago, we had a campaign going and one of the factions involved was a Renegades force. So I put together some oddball equipment as fit the story line. Then I sold them.

But they were fun to put together, paint, and play with while it lasted. The paint schemes were based on examples from the Siege of Vraks books.

Chimera with Autocannon turret

Will you add spikes and trophies (severed heads, mutilated corpses, etc.)?

 

 

Alas, the new owner will have to decide that. :)

 

In general, I'm not a big fan of the spikes thing, it just seems very impractical, though I can definitely see bodies and whatnot as decorations. 

 

However, that's not really my jam, which is why I unloaded them. It was a fun modeling exercise though.

 

After all, I'm more of a "leaves piles of burned bones from witches in my wake" kind of guy. :)

Salamander "counts as"

Base model - 1:35 Italeri Staghound Mk. 1 - Late version (No. 6552)

Anvil industry boxes (light grey)

GW parts (vehicle crewman, Autocannon, Smoke dischargers, Stubber, IG radio pack, Aquila, hull mounted HB, tow hook)

Guitar wire antenna

Based in Tamiya TS-61 Nato green spray and sponged on shades of sand. The equipment is in Chocochip camouflage to match up with the rest of the 711th Cadian Combined Arms Brigade.

Impressive work on the Command Rhino, captain_magpie. Are those antenna towers removed when the Rhino needs to be transported between an orbiting starship and a planetary surface, or do the Techmarines retract them towers into the crew compartment (meaning the rooftop hatch is just for show, and there's no space to sit beside the Driver), or fold the towers flat against the hull?

It was my intention to have them similar to a periscope system on a sub, so that they retract into the Rhino beside the driver. I did not actually measure them out and went on plus/minus when setting them up, so yeah, likely not "exact" but I am ok with it.

 

Oh, and the reason I gave it a hatch was to give it a feeling of molecularity, where the antenna area could be removed and replaced with a self-defense system. Based on need of course.

I'm stealing that twin AC idea for something. I don't know what just yet, but that's a steal. And the rest of the tank, I'm stealing that too.

 

You got anything else you're just going to leave laying out?

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Yes, I can see OCP trying to sell this design to the US Army and Marine Corps. Do you think RoboCop is best portrayed as a Skitarii, or as a Space Marine of the Iron Hands Legion/Chapter?

Mhm.

 

Patience.

The dual AC idea could perhaps be used for any number of other weapons in the same way. Could potentially let you forgo sponsons if you wanted to slap some decorated doors onto your predators. At any rate I really do like the innovation! :thumbsup:
