The sniper tank is a mix of Necron Lychguard and Immortal parts and will get filled with a small amount of green-stuff.  The surfers are made from the same boxed sets but with a small amount of sprue and plasticard added.

The tank is one of the rear parts of a torso, the cage bit that goes over the top (split down the middle to make two sides of legs) and a rifle from the Immortal box trimmed down.

Easy peasy :)Very interesting, i doubt easy peasy covers it even if i can get some bits, but thanks for the info!

The sculpting may be a bit tricky (if you aren't used to it) but all the rest is just a case of trimming in the right areas and pinning/gluing bits together.  It can't be that hard to do because I can manage it  :D .

I will sort out a few updates to my original How-To guide that I did so that I can show the simplified steps that I now take.  Here are the old ones for the bots:

If I decide to make any more of the sniper-bots, I'll put together a How-to for those as well.
