So as I am prepping for a Sisters army coming in I am thinking I need at least 3 repressors, but Forgeworld is currently out of stock.

Are there currently any 3rd party either rhino add-ons, or full models that would be a decent alternative?

I built one. plasticard and bits of strip and leftovers from different kits.




The cupola storm bolter is magnetised - there is a flamer I can swap it out for.

It was easier to make it fit by building the extension from scratch than using the FW pieces (because they just won't fit. They are a tad too small anyway).

I've been thinking of that. I've plascard work before, but as the army coming in is the Raging Heroes Sisters line, with some other third party additions, I wanted to make sure it looked as clean as possible.

The carni head is a nice touch.

Ramshackle do some good ones:

Gnu Armoured Transport

Rhebok Transport Vehicles (also available wheeled, with a dozer instead of the bumper and with a cupola or flamer turret)


Basic: http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=461

Wheeled: http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=473

Flamer: http://shop.ramshacklegames.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=474

All substantially cheaper to boot!

Ohhh I'm liking that second one. A bit more IG then I was hoping, but so far better then the ones I'v been searching for.

You could alway use the money you save on those to buy a few packs of these:

Still comes out £10 cheaper than an actual Repressor.

Oh I've got plenty doors and add-on's. I was more looking for the additions on the top, looks like right now it's either the Ramshakle or plasticard

You can see my conversions here:


Those are the new ones with LR dozers instead of rhino.

And here's the original with rhino dozers (since replaced):


Basically, the immo kit with a PE driver magnetized to the front. I use the cupola SB with Heavy Flamer glued on (again magnetized for swap)

I use the side little white windows for the fire ports (on the immolator top plate).

Check out Grgobart's Repressor

Interesting, seems like a complex kit bashing of parts. I'll have to see if I can replicate this as it does look fine.

I made one with plasticard and various other bits as well.
If I had to make 3 I'd note all my measurements and do all 3 at the same time.

Loving the conversions

Keep it coming.

Here is my take on raised rhino tops, Thousand sons style. (Because they have those big ornaments on their helmets )



I also have 2 more rhinos that have a raised top, you can check them out in this thread, for more angles:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/641973.page

Ive made 5 additional repressors from rhinos and a few little bits.

I initially bought a FW repressor, took measurements from the resin parts and made plasticard templates:



I then worked out what bits i could use from other kits to add the detail and the specific weapons. So a cupola from a rhino for the top of the Storm bolter turret, a storm bolted from the rhino pintle, the other rhino cupola for the heavy flamer pintle, a heavy flamer from the ironclad dreadnought kit, and a scope from the razorback turret kit.



I made a big dozer blade using plasticard and a forumla i sorted a while ago: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/418405.page

and then stuck all the bits together:


and the final products painted up looking like this:

FW repressor on left, mine on right


(ive built another two since this photo)

Wow. Very nice!

Thanks! Im very happy with how they all came out. I have all the templates still and if it could help someone else i might be able to scan all of them and produce a template sheet.

This would be a wonderful help

To those that have posted pics. Can I get pics of the back sides of the repressers? I'd like to see how you match up with the ramp.

Would love to oblige but I no longer have the model.

I stopped playing the game 3 years ago and got rid of most of the models from my marines.

The ramp on the FW repressor and the ramp on my versions is the same. It is just the Rhino ramp, the extra height is made with an additional piece attached above it. On my version there is an extra thin layer on top to add detail more in line with the FW model.

Some very nice examples here lads.

I scratch built a couple for my arbites army. Sorry for the long distance shot.

Here are a couple more photos of my repressor from different angles, and also a photo(with scale) of all the templates used:
