Neat idea on the Wheeled conversion kit. The giant wheels make it look a little 'kiddy' but I think that's a result of the model being a little stubby to begin with...

Working on someting you'll either love or hate. Hopefully to be revealed by November.

Dangit now i gotta save up for a few more vulvapods, two wheeled chimeras for my necromunda stuff, some not eldar jetbikers, and a not the DoM. ChapterHouse is going to bankrupt my hobby fund with these releases.

I'm not crazy about the helmets, I think they'll look a little out of place with my cadians, any chance of getting the heads without the helms that would fit in the empty plastic cadian helmet?

Nice, the wheeled rapid response kit for Chimeras makes it great to make also Adeptes Arbites Paddy wagons!

Hey There Chapterhouse. I came across your stuff searching for inspirational images for my salamander army. I have to say that if I wasn't into sculpting and modeling my own stuff I would be a huge customer of yours for Salamander specific kits. Really brilliant and I like the Space Wolf kits you have better than FW. Yours are much more "Tribal" for lack of a better word and fit in better with Space Wolf iconography. Your Chimera is a fantastic idea and while I can see how it would look in a more finished state, it does seem a little tacked on. Take it back to the prototype stage and get it to fit a little more seamlessly into the hull (specifically along the top of the hull) and this would be a stellar kit. Fantastic stuff nonetheless and its very inspiring.

As far as more Eldar kits go it would be nice to have a Falcon/Wave Serpent hull that, instead of a cockpit with an eldar driver and gunner there was a giant spirit stone. I tried this with an OOP wraithlord head but it didn't work and seemed far to obvious. I think you'd be able to accomplish this successfully. I also created my own jetbike, and while it looked pretty cool as a prototype/conversion again it required a little more sculpting ability that my current skill set provides.


Someone else was also remarking on putting road wheels on a rhino. Its not too hard to do. I used the Chaos Dwarf Hellcannon wheels and put them in place of the tracks for a Death Guard rhino. It was successful, but a hell of a lot of work surprisingly. Can see my gallery if interested as I don't want to hijack this thread.

I think you are the first person to ever say that CHS's stuff fits better with GW's iconography than kits that were made by GW (or a subsidiary). LOL

The Wheeled kit is excellent. It has so much potential for Cult Limo's, paddy wagons ect. Fitting the kit with other Chimera variants seems possible so you can have wheeled armored Bassies!! The wheels look big in the picture (they do not have a lot of clearance around the wheel well) and though they stick out past the fenders/body the effect is not over done, just makes it look more aggressive. The sides themselves are a little thiner than even the new Chimera sides. While the dry fit picture looks stubby, the view from above looks like a slimmer Chimera. Good Job Chapterhouse! I had not planned on buying another FW armored Basilisk, but I have to wheel one out!

I think I'm going to have to get the wheeled kit, as I have the bitz for the chimera hull pieces, but not the tank sides.

That price was such a disappointment. The CAD mock ups for the CH ones have me really looking forward to getting them (provided they stay within a good price point), even if it is a few months yet before we can expect them. It's never been a better time to build a Pre Heresy army.

Make an APC body to go with the kit/wheels and I'll have five or so.

CH, I'd like to say that I very much like and approve of this kit. It's well executed, requires little extra work, and adds a noticeable difference to the 40K forces. You'll want to get aka_mythos to do other stuff for you if you can, thumbs up to the chap himself there.

A suggestion for the female cadians. Whilst standard plastic Cadian arms do not fit very well, Forgeworld Renegade arms are much slimmer, and would no doubt complement the build. Failing using those, I would recommend designing weapon arms just for them.

I reckon Elysian arms would work even better for female guard as well.

Will have to get about 10 of those chimera kits for my elysians! Coupled with your TS kits, im going to be sending a lot of money your way soon! On the shipping to England note, is it better to buy in small lots, or one big one, particularly regarding customs?

Btw, when is the TS Techmarine stuff going to be released?

The molding company is working on it. We have some more new kits coming out that will be ready to "tease" about by the time I come back from vacation next weekend.

Helmetless heads are in the work. I am also pretty sure I will have weaponless arms coming up soon (in position to hold weapons of course). I cringe at the thought of people having to put weapons in empty arms, but that seems what people want, rather then bulky GW arms with weapons

My personal preference with arms is right arm with gun, left arm with open hand. One thing I hate about the current cadian arms is the molded left hand on the barrel.

How about some arms with guns, but have the gun look more like the ones from Aliens
