I'm jumping on board with the wheeled kit. That looks amazing. It would fit in well with many themes. I'd get one for a Salamander conversion kit. I'm imagining it with a Predator turret, and it looks good in my head.

I second the vote for a Half-track version.

Im hoping to have the Wheeled Chimera Conversion kit on the website the week of May 16th. Also the first variant of the Female Guard troopers as well (I sent both off to be painted up yesterday).

Is there a way to turn Kan's comments off? I don't know how many times I can stand reading that he is not going to buy it, nor care to read his trolling on any forum here on Dakka Dakka.

Chapterhouse is putting out a product. If you don't like it, you don't have to say it 30 different times in the same thread.

The alternative Chimera wheels look awesome. Much better than the tracks, and at 13 dollars, I will be buying them for all my Chimera's, current and any I buy in the future.

In the bottom right corner of a person's posts, you should see two buttons: Friend and Ignore. Ignore will hide that poster's...er, posts, from you.

Thanks Dreadnote. That will save me a lot of headaches.

I love the wheeled kit. I'm a sucker for wheeled AFV's though.

awsome,ill be buying a kit!

keep up the awsome work CH

Dear god please listen to LavuranGuard.

Your female infantry kits really excite me and I'd love to incorporate some into my Praetorian force.

Any chance you will make new helmet-less female heads to go with these new kits?

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

I love what I am reading. I eagerly await this release of the various female trooper kits.

Any pics from the front yet by chance ?

how much of the side track from the chimera is used ?

Or is the sides whole new replacments ?

No pictures from the front are available yet, im out of town and wont be back till next monday.

Our kit replaces the whole side tracks of the Chimera kit.

No it won't, because you'll still see people's replies to him, and you'll get confused what they're talking about without the context of having read his post. It's a lot easier to simply not read a person's posts rather than having them all just poof on you.

Agreed, specially when they are a poster that gets quoted ALOT. Just see the name/avatar, and skim past it

I love how giving input on a model kit, when the creator is asking for input and reactions, is now apparently "trolling".

He said in your post he doesn't want to read your Trolling anywhere on the forum, which would imply that he dislikes a lot more of your posts than are just in this thread.


EDIT: Clarification

I don't know how many times I can stand reading that he is not going to buy it, nor care to read his trolling on any forum here on Dakka Dakka

Just looks to me like he doesn't want to read anything else from you.

That makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

What's that quote from Mauleed? "When you can make complete strangers on the Internet hate you, you know you're doing something magical."?

Anyways, back on topic...
Chapterhouse: you want an untapped market? Armor plates that 'lock' over the pockets on Cadian legs so people can make more veteran-y looking Guardsmen.

Do them to a high enough standard, completely devoid of insignia etc, and I'll buy enough for 130 Guardsmen.

If that is true, then GW must be run by Gandalf and Nagash and Harry Potter and Tinker Bell, because this site alone is crapping rainbows worth of magical internet nerdrage.

Gotta say, I love that those were the 4 magical beings you chose. Too funny.

Back on topic, the wheel conversion kit looks great from the pictures, probably the coolest-looking thing you've made. Now it just needs an afv-style turret to complete the look.

Any chance of making those wheels with a different back hub so that they'd fit on a standard GW axle? Us vehicle converters would like to have more choices when replacing the standard GW wheels.

I love the look of the wheeled Chimera kit. Any chance we can see it on a chimera? I will be over the next few months purchasing some Chimera's would love to see the conversion on a kit so I can get a idea of how it will fit in my army. The other sculpts are coming along nicely.

Just a reminder that any member who doesn't like posts made by another user, can use the Ignore feature to blank out the posts of that other member.

Wouldn't the inverse also be true?

If you are gonna buy something then just do so, you don't need to post about it in a thread on the interwebz.

Funny that...

As for the kit. The quality/detail/casting is fine, but I prefer tracked chimeras. the wheels could be useful on other conversions (ork trukks and battle wagons perhaps), but I'm not sure if they fill a niche as wheels can be obtained from a number of sources...

Thanks!

Just wanted to assemble my chimeras and hold the side tracks on with rubber bands until i can buy these for all of my tanks.

Alot easier to test army builds when i can use a chimera instead of a rhino hull.

Like +1.

I'm glad everyone likes my wheeled conversion kit. At the beginning Nick was quite skeptical, so it almost didn't happen. Just a quick shout out to Steelspectre, inmygravenimage, and the others who chimed in on my blog and who's intrest helped sell it.

Indeed, being so offensive that numerous people consider the words that we type to be entirely without point or merit and full of nothing but arrogance is certainly a goal that we should all aspire towards. Of course, we could instead endeavor to couch our dialogue in civility and a sincere intention to discuss with one another, but that of course is the harder road to follow, and why attempt what is difficult when we can instead act like uncivilized children? I certainly can think of no valid reason...

I think the kit is wonderful to be quite honest. It is not perfect, but considering how you were limited by the core chimera hull I believe you did an excellent job. By the way, what originally inspired you to attempt this?

I liked your wheeled kit so much I pestered Chapterhouse into selling me some of the development prototypes. I'm working on three right now. I have always liked the Chimera, and the wheeled kit does it justice. I would also be interested in a half track version.

Kan,

If you can shoot me an email - nick@chapterhousestudios.com and show me what your talking about, ill consider the project.

PM'd you while I'm thinking of it.

I'll try to get better reference pictures and email them to you.

Does anyone produce cadian-scale motorbikes? If not, CHS should! I see a lot of people wanting to make biker rough riders, and using oversized marine bikes to do it. I think it could be really cool to have both dirtbike and sports bike versions available, with a number of different legs to fit different guard regiments (plain pants, cadian pants and greatcoat pants)

On topic: I really like the majority of the wheeled chimera kit, although my personal preference would be for smaller wheels and a little bit of shock-absorber detail visible behind them. Although the big wheels are still awesome for the odd Orky project.
