40k Manticore Speeder Conversion

[aircav]

Over the Christmas Holiday I started a Manticore for my Imperial Guard Army!
 I've not touched this Army for years (It was featured in White Dwarf 266 in its earliest incarnation) & my mate Craig is going to use it at The Caledonian Uprising event.
As all the vehicles in my Army are based on Landspeeders,
I have used a Sace Marine Scout Landspeeder Storm as the basis,
which makes life much easier as i dont have to cut a speeder in half. 

Anyway here's the a wip's, the picture's are not a great though.







Finished:





Now just to start painting

Nice

[Mason]

Looking good so far!

I must thank you, rather belatedly, of course.
It was your IG army that gave me so much inspiration all those years ago that made me want to do a Catachan-based force.
I didnt steal ALL your ideas, though. I opted for a walker themed army.

That was such a fantastic looking army, I remember it fondly.

So....now that I have the chance, I can say;
Many thanks aircav!

boss scratchbuilding skills. Any pics of the army from WD266 and it's current incarnation?

There's a few pictures in my gallery page:

but not many, I need to get new pictures of the army & I dont have a copy of the white dwarf anymore 

[OSHIROmodels]

Aha, that one, I remember it now 

The chances are slim but I might have an extra copy, if so do you want it?

cheers

That would be great James or a scan of the article would be better 

[OSHIROmodels]

That shouldn't be a problem as I'm getting hold of works old scanner and will need something to practise on 

Send me a pm at the weekend as a reminder.

cheers

I still chuckle when I imagine that Basilisk actually firing!
