Trying to find WD feature

Recommended Posts

Ahoy!

 

So I'm trying to find an old White Dwarf feature, and I'm coming up with nothing. I would check my old WD stash but I don't have access to it at the moment. It would be WD UK 232 onwards, as that was my first issue, and I want to say it was in the 200's but I could be wrong. Tried searching online, including uploaded pdf's, but there's big gaps and lots of US issues so I've had no luck.

 

The feature in question was of a heavily converted marine army that I believe was owned by Tony Cottrell. There was a scratch built titan, a desert recovery vehicle and various other converted units/vehicles. I think it was just a single page, but it may have covered two.

 

I don't suppose anybody happens to remember it, and if so knows what issue it was in?

The one with the converted AT-ST?

Not off hand sorry, if I get a chance later I'll try and take a look. Sadly it's a lotta magazines to go through. Glad it's the right one at least!

If I could I would look myself, but lockdown in the UK has kinda gotten in the way!

I might even be able to reverse image search it, will have a go when I get chance.

 

Edit: yeah, no joy!

Issue number 235 July (UK) with the free Codex Assassins in, cover art shows "waaagh! da orks are 'ere!".

 

Is there something specific you wanted, I have the issue here on my desk?

You're a legend!

Typically the pdf I found was a Canadian edition and doesn't have it, and I can't find a uk one.

Also I got the Tony right, but at some point in the last 25 years got his surname wrong according to a YouTube review I found.

Anyway. I seem to recall that the guy had converted bikes into quadbikes using (I think) old plastic terminator torsos. I wanted to know if that was the case, and if they still look as cool as I thought they did at 9 years old! Hoping I can steal his technique at some point in the future, after seeing a quadbike elsewhere that I wasn't so keen on.

(to be fair all the conversions in his army looked awesome back when I was young!)

In case you haven't been able to find the issue/pictures in question since your last post, I've managed to track down a copy and got some pictures of the army in question:

I hope that helps. :tu:

Massively, thankyou! I'd not managed to find pictures online, and can't get my copy until the lockdown is over. I do hope you didn't buy one?!

 

It looks very much to me like he was using the old plastic terminators, with a second floorplate at the back. As and when I'm able to get hold of parts I really want to give it a go, just to please the 9 year old me that never could!
