An expansion on my Stalker Class rough rider concept model.

I haven't put together the leg unit for the second suit yet, but I felt like fiddling about with special weapons so the squad Sarge is now modelling the modular backpack.

The Rough Rider entry states that a trooper can replace their hunting lance with special weapons. As my go-faster suit version uses assault launchers rather than a lance I reckoned that the special weapon should replace the launchers entirely. I have knocked up a couple of different Melta-gun possibilities and an easy grenade launcher mod. Thoughts? Preferences? Insane rage at my stupid idea?

Classic-ish

Balanced

Comparison

Classic looks better, imo.

**Aelyn**

Agreed - Classic feels more 40Kish to me.

Reflecting on it the Classic version does match the standard imperial melta better. I did the other one first by sticking bits together in the first way that seemed appropriate

Tempted to try and put a similar one together for my standard infantry, even though I don't have any in my army list... Another alternative PCS or CCS perhaps

**Commissar Agro**

WOW that looks good.
I prefer the classic version

And the second Stalker class suit is nearing completion. I only had one set of Valkyrie door guns for leg struts, so I might need to try something else for this one.

Very happy with the way the pose came out. Admittedly I had to modify every single Guardsman part and pin the hell out of it

Anyhoo... on with the pics with Cpl Dynamic Assaultypants! (He's supposed to be finishing a bound coming into an assault while gunning down a nearby target... I could potentially give him a victim on the base if I get around to it).

This guy can tote assault launchers (Hunting Lance counts-as), melta gun, grenade launcher or flamer mounted on the special weapon hardpoint.
