Owl-S Self-Propelled Gun, long range artillery, great count as Imperial Guard Basilisk.

or

Owl-M Heavy Mortar, indirect support weapon, great cout as Imperial Guard Griffon.

This set is 48$, shipping to the worldwide, you can contact me with suvietrat@gmail.com.

Looks nice, might wanna tone down on the IP terms a lil bit.

no need, he's selling from China

Looks pretty cool, although seems like you might want to do kits for the tanks that don't have official GW kits instead of the basilisk.

BOOM, Roasted!

Oh wow, just saw the price. $48 for a turret is a bit steep, even by GW standards.

Like all of the other Ratguard stuff, this look pretty darn cool and a good way to turn your IG more "modern"

However imo just like the other Ratguard stuff, a bit too expensive for my tastes. I'm sure others may disagree though

I admit defeat

Those are very awesome...shame on the price, that will be a big turn off to many potential customers.

Those look awesome!

I bought a couple of the Soviet style BMP upgrades and found the quality of the castings and the fit to be first class. Speaking also as the local "go to repair guy" for mates who have suffered poor quality FW castings (especally Basilisks) I would rather spend a few dollars more than waste hours fixing a kit that never looks 100% regardless. There's even a machined aluminum barrel that will never warp or sag.
Top Job.

What nice looking parts. I'm not overfond of the price or the inverted teacup styling of the turret, but the build quality looks really good and an aluminum barrel - pimp.

I think you might actually do better with this kit at $30. $48 is a tough sell to convert a $30 Chimera into a $49 Basilisk. I think a lot of people would rather just buy a Basilisk. $30 though... I think people might see that as a good deal.

if it was like... 25 dollars, I would buy a few to make into something like a demolisher or main battle tank. Looks better than the leman russ

Yeah... nice kit. But $48? For a little bit more I can get a complete superheavy from China.

Nice but overpriced. Plenty of other places with nice looking resin vehicle parts and addons that offer better bang/buck.

Looks nice, but somewhat expensive. I don't feel it fits in all that well with the IG aesthetic, if that's what it was designed for.

Looks kind of like Metal Slug tanks.

I'll buy one and just because of that I will even resort to buy a GW Chimera kit too!

Way too expensive for what you get. $48?!?!?!?!?

As everyone else said, waaaayyyyy over priced. I think it looks alright.

As others have mentioned yes, the copyright clearly doesn't matter here. They openly sell fake kits (which considering you can get stuff that is only in metal molded in plastic instead is pretty awesome) here on the Chinese version of eBay/Amazon.
