mr_lee_ Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 The New UK-WD Has an interesting conversion of a Vindicator for Cities of Death. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89723-vindicator-conversions/#findComment-1032117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artimis Vergadin Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v432/Art...nt=IMG_0033.jpg There's my vindi, but mind you, that's not how it looks right now, I weathered it and some other goodies. But it's an idea. If you want to know how I made it lemme know.

madscuzzy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Page 31 UKWD 318. Also available in the other codexes with the main article of COD. It's with the pic of the red scouts and imperial guard snipers, with the feature writeups of the buildings.

asmodai650 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 The US white Dwarf has a very simple one. Just order the top hatch, front plate and gun assembly and put them on the new rhino. Done. Looks good, and a whole lot easier. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89723-vindicator-conversions/#findComment-1032227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Antio Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 nice ST-Shadow. how did you make that one? it looks kinda like the forgeworld model but without that big old dozer on the front. like it Artimis. :tu: made from a rhino and basalisk by any chance? thanks guys. was hoping it'd be 318. was gonna get it for the reference sheet, now gives me another reason. havent bought a wd since about 301! has really gone down hill recently, but this is not a "Gripe-about-how-bad-WD-has-gone" thread. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89723-vindicator-conversions/#findComment-1032259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST-Shadow Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I useed a 1/35 scale German WWII Sturmtiger for the gun and some parts. Here is a link to some pics of its WIP.

Callas Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 made from a rhino and basalisk by any chance? It looks more like one of the big German WW2 siege mortars to me - possibly 1:35 scale.

Strikerkc Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I've done two myself. My loyalist one looks a little more normal. It's basically all the old parts put onto the new rhino kit. If I recall, all you have to do is put a small plasticard spacer in the back top hatch (since the old metal one doesn't cover the whole thing). That and put some spacers on either side of the front cannon assembly (since the new rhino is wider) Front: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/Str...FVindicator.jpg Rear: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/Str...dicatorback.jpg And this is my Traitor Vindicator for my Iron Warriors. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v306/Strikerkc/IWVindicatorsmall.jpg It's the center portion of the old vindicator built normally, but uses reversed double width Leman Russ tracks. Dozer blade is the new IG dozer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89723-vindicator-conversions/#findComment-1032440 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronophague Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Well, here's my conversion. Just a rhino with some extra armor, and a gun taken from a sturmtiger kit http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h289/kronork/Iron%20Warriors/Vindicator.jpg Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/89723-vindicator-conversions/#findComment-1032460 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artimis Vergadin Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 made from a rhino and basalisk by any chance? It looks more like one of the big German WW2 siege mortars to me - possibly 1:35 scale. Yes it is a siege mortar, though honestly, I don't know where it's from as I got it for a gift. Prepainted though, and I don't know the name of it either :devil: Been looking and I haven't found anything remotly close.

rat of vengence Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Here's one I did a while ago. In play it usually suffers a glancing hit, and for some reason the only results are ever 'weapon destroyed' or 'BOOM!'. Sigh. It seriously underperforms in killing the other team, but more than makes up for this by scaring the daylights out of them and making them rethink their whole plan from deployment onwards. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/ratofvengence/vindicator2.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/ratofvengence/vindicator.jpg I used an old predator kit to make this. A great big cookie if anyone can figure out what the gunbarrel is made of.

Barakiel Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 made from a rhino and basalisk by any chance? It looks more like one of the big German WW2 siege mortars to me - possibly 1:35 scale. The Gun is from the German WW2 Siege Mortar named "Karl". A huge "mobile" (6 mp/h) Mortar on Tracks. They have been used during the Siege on Sevastopol/Russia in 1942 an the Battle of Warsaw in 1944.

Brother Antio Posted June 18, 2006 Author Share Posted June 18, 2006 Amazing free hand there OMG. St shadow, love your conversions! the Thunderhawk is awesome.

Kuroneko Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I was so inspired by this thread, I decided to make my own: Shown on the rhino hull: Shown alone: Not the best, but perhaps the cheapest? I can put it on top of any rhino without the topdoors glued on, thus increasing my options without buying too much.
