That's not a conversion.

It's an improvement.

He's not supposed to be :) .

He's more a physical manifestation of the spirit-ancesters... brought to life by a living rune-smith... and made of molten metal :) . He proxies for a Primarch but is more a War Golem than a Squat :) .

Glad you like him :) .

I've been working on some proxy Taurox lately. They are based on Meng "World War Toon", Tiger 1, tanks. I decided to take the fixed weapon option (The basic Taurox can have fixed weapons or weapons in a turret) to make them both different and not need a turret.

I knocked together a test vehicle, thought it looked all right so I repeated the idea. Only one has wheels/tracks fitted at the moment (the test vehicle) because they'll have to be off for painting. Anyway... four WIP, Proxy Taurox:



I still have some filling to do and a few small details to add but they are practically there :) .

That is so cool!  :o  :-*

To be honest, when I first looked at the picture, before reading the text, I thought it was some kind of cool double barrelled assault gun - like a Stug or Hetzer. I totally didn't think "battle taxi" or "IFV", but I kind of see it now. Maybe the gun barrels look a bit big for me...? My brain says the breach of guns that big would extend too far into what "should" be the engine compartment - there's me going and imposing "realism" on a future-magic-fantasy setting again... sorry about that... It looks wicked cool, regardless!

In all fairness, if they were big guns, you'd be spot on but these are just auto-cannons so the body of the weapon wouldn't even go back as far as the back of the top hatch. The muzzle-breaks are a bit big but they match the ones on my Hydra so they are themes and I couldn't really get away from them :) .

No :) ...

... in other news, I suddenly decided that I needed to have a Stormlord in my Squat army but I didn't think that the existing Stormlord looked like it could house 40 troops so I thought... "I know, I'll build a Leviathan that counts as a Stormlord".

To cut a long story short, here's where I am at the moment. Most of the structure is finished but I need to add the drivetrain, track guards, side sponsons, weapons and details:



So much more to do... but it's getting there :) .

Mind = Blown!

That is AMAZING!!!

Can't wait to see how it ends up!

"counts as Stormlord" is brilliant. I may have to steal this idea!

Cheers :) .

In order to carry on with the build, it was necessary to attach the wheels and tracks so that I could work out dimensions:



Now that they are fitted, I can start thinking about the track guards and side sponsons. With the side sponsons in mind, I decided it would be easier to just order the Baneblade sponsons because it would give me all the weapons and a means of fitting them (even if I converted things a bit) so I have ordered one of these and am waiting for its arrival:

In the meantime, I can start filling and sanding if I need to :) .

What model did you use for the chassis?
