GW would do a stowage/accessories sprue for vehicles - its one of the things missing, whenever you see photos of vehicles during war they are always covered in loads of spares, things they are carrying for troops etc.
Yes, I should have realised that Tamiya parts would be bigger.
I’ve always preferred to add stowage to
GW vehicles, but I have found it difficult to find items that seem to belong on Heresy vehicles. I don’t think Marines would have bedrolls, knapsacks and duffel bags. I ended up adding sandbags to my SoH tanks.
I am trying to restrict the force to MKII and MKIII only, and have had fun researching what things were more or less common during the Crusade (when compared to the Heresy era). These will hopefully build up to a playable force for HH, which was never really a prospect for the Sons of Horus (as it took me a weekend to do one marine!) I am restricting myself to weapon and head swaps, to cut down on build time.
Hopefully more to come soon (I am putting together some of the brilliant new MKII assault marines at the moment)
These are good colours. Is there something missing from the Sergeant’s volkite weapon?
