Hey all just finished the two buggies and wanted some opinions and also im working on this tank conversion to be used as a "Count as Vanquisher" so let me know what you guys think, its still a WIP. Also check out my Blog CC welcome and wanted.

Nice Tauros Venators

very nice, what model tank is the vanquisher?

Is that a range finder or ecm suite you've put onto the front of the Tauros? Either way, I'm sorta thinking that's a bad position given that sits right smack in the turret's primary field of fire.

I was thinking exactly the same. Nice trucks, but the bit of kit in front would get blown off (or just badly burned) very very fast, once they´re in combat..

Other than that, it´s cool to see that these vehicels paint up nicely. Did you get many flaws in the pieces they sent you?

The jeeps are really nice, good to see more use for wheels.

Although I do believe the wheels should be enhanced in some way. Are you meaning to tell me in the 41st millenium they're still using air filled tires? I don't think so.

They just look too "commercial".



The tanks body is a little simplistic [unless it's supposed to be lightly armored].

Nice conversion of a M10 or M18 kit to the Vanquisher.

I really like the buggies. The Rhinos on the front are a nice touch. Any plans on making a buggie with a Rhino down or do they fold down? And how did you make them anyways?

Soooooooooooooooooooooo jealous of your buggies. They look really nicely done and I will have to get one when my many projects are done.

Me too, seems rather a silly place to put them

Actually the kit in fron is a rhino to detect IEDs. They do fold down and the site on the turret is an LRAS thermal site and range finder. The trucks are modelled after my 2 trucks in Iraq. Believe it or not the LRAS really does block alot of site when your a gunner in a humvee.

So where did those buggies come from? Those are pretty damn neat.

Nice work on the buggies.

The vanquisher needs a little work to make it feel like it belongs on a 40k battlefield.

A mystical site known as Forge World.

The Vanquisher is only about 50% done.
