More Taurox candy

What the hell, order placed. I was going to wait for other stuff to pop up, but I've been waiting for this to appear since wot? April now?

Another awesome product!

Now that's seriously cool looking.

Say if you wanted to create Taurox half tracks could you use the rear set of wheels on the front? I can see that aesthetically they're different but what about attachment wise? Could you just plonk the rear wheels up front and call it a day or would you need to do some work?

Very lovely! Looks like a proper vehicle now.

Ok, so now I'm thinking this: new apc wheel & suspension kit (+taurox), riot shields, custodian heads and that single handed shotgun/club coming soon and that's a pretty damn cool riot squad , for all your clubbed seal/tau needs.

I've been trying to find a good Taurox alternative for a while now.. lots of nice kits out there but the best ones are really designed to stand in for the Chimera. But now I don't need to bother hunting around! I shall definitely be ordering a set come pay day!

That's what my first Taurox was made for!

Makes the Taurox look one hell of a lot better IMO! If I ever want a Taurox, it will be with these wheels for sure.

18 USD is a little pricey. It does look great though. I am glad I waited. I ended up buying three,

APC Wheel and Suspension kit by Jake Schneider now in store. We had a bit of a printing stuff up with this one, but really pleases with the look of the finished kit.

Outstanding!
Order placed!

I'm impressed, you've rectified the Taurox- I didn't think that was possible.

No one referenced Hellboy's revolver yet?

It has a lovely chunky feel that would convey bolt pistol to me.

Spoiler:

It's a really cool weapon to be sure, but we've already had revolvers just as big in Necromunda, Gorkamorka, etc. and they didn't convey Bolt Pistol, either, it conveyed Stub gun. Not that folks can't nominate it as a bolt pistol, las pistol or whatever they want, and I do agree that a revolver is a cool weapon for IG. However, it's just not a weapon that is going to read "bolt Pistol" to most 40k players.

VERY impressive kit! I'm in the minority in thinking the Taurox looked alright as it was, I think but the tweaks shown here improve the model 100% for me, I quite like the idea of modifying it further to make the vehicle suspension look as though it's going over something substantial... like an Ork!

So much better with those wheels.
What does it look like as a half-track?

Great looking wheels upgrade. Egg on GW's face for not doing something similar themselves in the first place, but they can't complain - this will sell quite a few Taurox kits for them...

You could them use the tracks to make you're own rapier carriages!

Or orky contraptions, that's what happened to my sets of tracks.

Finally, the Games Workshop Canyonero looks like it should have when it was released.

I will say, though, you should really include some truck nutz with the kit.

Use a spare toxin sac from a Nid kit?

Damn those wheels are awesome what a transformation to that vehicle ! I may get one now with these on the market hot damn !

Thanks for all the great feedback

I have not tried it. I believe there is a slight difference in height between the wheels and track. I'm sure Jake will jump in and let you know if it will work.

Yes, I should have them back late next week.

Hey, so a while back you showed some Ushanka heads. What's the progress on them?

New stuff!

Latest releases, a little bit of everything: http://victoriaminiatures.highwire.com/products/vehicle-and-mech-conversion-bits

Biggest release, wheels for the Taurox!





Plasma gun for Imperial Knights, this replaces the shoulder-mounted heavy stubber.



Stowage for bikes, expect those to pop up on her site as well in the coming months, right?



Ammo crates, jerry cans, mortar shells and tools.

Awwwww shiiiiiiieeeet.


Gotta love an offering like that.

Exactly this. It takes an awkward kit and makes it useful. Very cool.

Right, back home from PAX Australia - and not for more than an hour, mind you!

You can use the track units on the back if you want, however, you will need to shim it as my suspension makes the vehicle a bit taller over all - namely because I didn't go with one set of wheels being smaller than the other set (the tracks on the Taurox are of two different heights).

So yes, but you'll need to do some work.

I'd also venture to say that one could use that cased autogun for more than just a bike... I know I'll be throwing some on to my Chaos Marauders that I'm using as Rough Riders in my traitor guard army.

Can't wait til my copies of the knight plasma gun rock up - that 'nipple stubber' just looks dicky. Speaking of replacement parts for the Knight, maybe I should lock myself into the lab for the next few days and bodge up some more, what do you folks reckon?

Make some sets of five for those holstered weapons. Make a lasgun version. That would be nice.

I really like the Knight plasma gun. Looks really nice. I think one of the FW Knight variants has a shoulder mount plasma weapon too, so it will be pretty straight-forward to convert it now.
I'm thinking it could also be good for some conversions involving Myrmidons too... tbh, mechanicus plasma weaponry in general

Well, just now I bought another Taurox kit, so the wait for the new wheels can begin good and proper.
