I'm... not sure. The Bombard is a Leman Russ chassis, but the Colossus is supposed to have a Chimera chassis. I could try and work to convert it? Think that will be nessaccary?

Yes. The codex art clearly shows the same gun as the Bombard, just mounted on a Chimera hull. Until an official Colossus model is released the best option is to use a Bombard and make it clear to your opponent what it is. Fortunately the Bombard is a pretty bad unit and rarely seen so there shouldn't be much confusion.

As for converting it, it might be possible, but it would probably take a lot of work to make everything fit. The only way to find out is to buy a Bombard and a Chimera and try putting it together.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.
