Thinking of using the new Elysian vehicle (link http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/taurven.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow"> http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/taurven.htm) with a trailer as a counts as Chimera.
Rough sketch

Thoughts?

I would get rid of one of the guns to replace with a heavy bolter to better fit the rules.

Was planning to mount a heavy bolter on one of the sides in place of a missile tube.

To be perfectly honest the idea of a gun buggy towing around a trailer full of guardsmen just seems silly and un-40k like. It would also result in a pretty huge/long tank. I would not do it.

Interesting idea, but I'm in agreement with ph34r. It looks dangerous for the guys stuck in the back... just think of a car towing a caravan over rough ground at high speed. Within meters the caravan will flip over and probably take the towing vehicle with it.

I like it. Your best bet would be to attach the trailer directly to the jeep, rather than with a towing arm. I'm thinking of Rodimus Prime when I type this:



That would look awesome!

Personally, seeing as the vehicle comes with multilasers (AFAIK), just clip one of them off and mount it centrally.

Good luck with this, with a little thought on the logistics of the actual vehicle, you could come up with a really cool vehicle. Even if Guard turning up in a Mini Winnie might look strange....

For my 2p you would be better off getting some 1/35th scale wheeled vehicles and 40king them up. The Fuchs 6x6 or Lav 8x8 could be good bases.

Alternatively Old Crow do some lovely vehicles http://www.oldcrowmodels.co.uk/25vehicles.htm and there is also these http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3_112_117 though they are a little short, but two with a coupling like a snow cat would look great.

I've looked around and I can't find anywhere that sell the hull I used for my 'Cowboy' Elysian Air Mobile force.

are those old crow the same scale as 40K

Old crow are not on the same scale they look pretty damn massive especally they 8 wheeler its bigger than a russ.
