Ok, i was just wondering how i could convert rough terrain modifcations for a sentinel

Any ideas welcome but i'm not willing to sped much money...cos im cheap

**glowgos**

The way i would do it would be a very rough but functional look, just bulk up the feet a little so they cover more surface area.

And then with some thin plastacard just bulk up the legs kinda like armour plates, the thinking behind this is the plates would deflect anything off that could damage the vehicles hydrolics.

Make a plasticard dozer blade and attach it to the front.

A dozer blade on a walker????

The chainsaw that comes with the Catachan Sentinel is there to represent something for dealing with "rough terrain". You could convert something like this fairly easily with some chainswords.

Alternately, you could put your Sentinel on Ork Bike tracks, though that's definitely a more expensive prospect.

Nice thoughts but i do like glowgos most i seems the most realistic thanks all

**SamG123**

i have done it....alrightish. I have decided to just use larger feet cos if it had protection of the hydralics i think it should have av + if you know what i mean.. have a look

pls comment

**Werdes**

Really looks like it could crush terrain with those feet

wouldn't the chainsaw piece from the "Catachan" sentinel count as a RTM?
i'd say you could probably find them cheap.

Positioning the models on more heavily terrained bases than the rest of the army would help.
Any additional gear such as winches, bouyancy aids, snorkels, shovels etc could help too.

captain.gordino, you are totally lacking of ambition. Dozerblades are for wusses, give it a deathrolla!

**spacewolflord**

Look at what this guy did to bulk out the Sentinel's legs.

You will have to scroll down to half way down the page.

i'd say it would generally be in the feet. either make the pads bigger/bulkier or add an extra leg or two.

**Commissar Agro**

yes go with the feet but also add the chainsaw for things missed by the stompy feet plus the chain saw is cool!

**SamG123**
