Procrastination: Officer of the fleet/master of ordnance and melta gunner.

 Yeah, 3rd post today. Procrastinating homework like a bitch.

Master of the Ordnance/Officer of the Fleet, made with Valkryie door gunners body and shoulder pads, tank commander head, pistol and left arm , Death Korp superheavy tank commanders right arm and binoculars and regular infantry vox set. lol.

Made from the end of a kroot rifle, some wire, and a tau grenade pack. Fits stylistically to the Steel Legion smaller/more sophisticated weapon style.

I prefer the other meltagun. The nozzle on this one is as big as the legionnaire's head.

I just realised the conversions are not painted :S

Sniper conversion

Yeah I don't paint eyes. no-one sees them anyway on the table top :P he looks kind of sleepy

Nothing special.

I made this by cutting in half the binoculars from the old IG tank accessory frame. don't know if the new ones have it. 

I decided to include a sniper in each of my static veteran squads. They hold objectives and provide fire support. I thought occasionally a sniper may pin a squad or wound a monster. They are aesthetically pleasing too.

I'll let you know how effective they once I have finished a local club tournament. It starts next Monday :)

cheers.

Medusa assault gun Idea

 

Going to make a Medusa using the far cheaper chimera and perhaps a pen or similar object for the barrel of the gun. Any ideas what would be a good barrel?

My Medusa will look like this, but it won't have the extra armour and will have a longer barrel. I'll give it a pintle mounted heavy flamer and bastion breacher shells and an enclosed crew compartment. This will be one of my anti tank units. Additional benefits from this cheap conversion will be a nice low profile.

I have wanted to do this since the latest codex, and having seen some other assault gun Medusa's, I think it's the way to go! Please excuse the blurry picture, still trying to work out my camera (besides auto mode).

Converted Leman Russ Demolisher/MBT/Vanquisher

Hey! thought I would show you some pics of my most unique unit.

I got it when I was a kid, probably 10 years ago. It begun life as an awesome matchbox brand transforming tank. I think it's based on the M1 Abrams tank.

 

Anyway, all I had to do was use a Land raider gun mount to attach a co-axial lascannon to the turret. I used my Valkryie lascannon to do this, and added a bit of sprue and plasticard to fill in the gaps. Bluetac will affix it, leaving me able to have the hull mounted gun as a hull heavy bolter, or count the lascannon as the hull weapon, and the actually hull mounted gun as a pintle heavy stubber :)

Also, the actual gun barrel end is a replacement. I put a bunger in the original barrel years ago. I wanted to see what would happen. Turns out gunpowder breaks things.

So, I had to cut a texta up and affix that. I can remove it, and count the tank as a demolisher now, as well as being able to draw with green texta.

Here are pics. I also painted a variation of my camo scheme, just to vary my infantry a bit. 

I had a Death Korps tank commander and cupola to glue onto it. But I can't find them :/

 

PS I can put a missile in the tank barrel. See that circle in the middle of the turret? I only have to press that, and your infantry squad will be on the ground.
