Kriegsmacht Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Ordered a Chimera yesterday as well as some other items in case a challenge does happen. Sounds like fun although my conversion skills aren't that great. duz_ and Warhead01 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calgar101 Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 I have an unbuilt chimera so I'm good on that front, just need to sort the extra bits. Going to look at a few sites first, my skills fint extend beyond gluing different bits together. Dont expect any green stuff or plasticard work from me Kriegsmacht and Warhead01 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Sounds like the challenge is picking pace Since there might be delays with acquiring the necessary components maybe we should give a 2 month window? We I can try and make the necessary requirements for the challenge this weekend :tu: Kriegsmacht and Warhead01 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicMike0708 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Might be ye ol’ closet of shame, (or its equally plastic-piled cousin shame cupboard) has 1 or 2 unbuilt chimeras. Certainly out of foresight anticipating just such an event, not at all resulting from poor impulse control. I’m in.

calgar101 Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yeah I think 2 months is perfect, shipping from US or EU bits companies can take 2-3 weeks in 'normal' times. I'm working all over this weekend and Monday but will keep an eye of here. Will be my first challenge on B&C and its nice to be an active part in its creation. Looking forward to what we all come up with. Exactly Mike! My Tower of Shame (a plastic drawers unit) is full of sprues and I have a chimera in there fortunately. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail the Valhallan Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Is it still acceptable to post for self motivation sake our own Chimera conversions? I don't want to take away from the challenge because mine is already built but I want to light a fire under myself to finish painting it. duz_, Warhead01 and Silas7 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longjohnsilver Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 So, what you're looking for is the Citadel Journal 11, from 1995? I can scan the whole article (called Assault Chimeras by James Funnell) and post it but is it legal to do so? There are guides on making them in the sidelines but it's all based on the old chimeras/ leman russ and the Chimerax has the old metal autocannons from the Mordian autocannon team for example, so you'd have to adapt with more available parts maybe.
