Yo check this dave, better wheeled taurox imo:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer/comments/22tr8j/taurox_conversion_cc_appreciated/

Still looks like a 40k bank armored car to move the golden thrones about(In Inquitor, the RPG, they pay with thrones as the coins are called), Even has vault door in the back! Looked good in the link with triple axles

6 Wheels does look nice! I'd like to see Zinge's wheels on it. It's the first thing I thought of when I first saw the Taurox. It sees like everyone universally hates the treads on that thing.

You got that right! it is ugly enough with the wheels, but many trucks are like that. The all treads just looked like they were appealing to little timmies"

Armored cars aren't supposed to be pretty, and Marine stuff is ALL ugly anyways.

Zinge wheeled options...

Zinges wheels rock.

I know this sounds stupid but I think I might have a go at this, but low rider it, drop it to the floor, drop the roof even more or take it off, maybe stretch it a bit. And give it to me orkssess of course.

But at least all our stuff looks similar. The taurox looks nothing like the other stuff.

You keep YOURS and I'll keep MINE then

I think it's fair to say that the financial investment warrants a certain group possessiveness.

There's this one too, pretty sweet

Now that is a beauty...

Found these as alternate shots with Zinge wheels ...

Problem I see is that the maker did not make the tires clear the fenders of the Taurox

I think the tires are just holding up the taurox, nothing is glued together as that same model was shown with multiple setups of tires. I think he just removed one set and added another to show what they'd look like.

Ah, so once they decide what they want to do with it, the finished model should have clearance, and I do like the tires more than the kiddy-treads

Lego kickstarter for spaceship combat......you know you want to

Omg. Theo, you are evil, and have just sorted birthday presents for the forseeable!

Badass Theo!

Welp...I just spent the first money with GW in well over a year

And now to place a Zinge order....

The following pictures are for all the curmudgeonly old farts out there who wailed and moaned about the name change and how it would ruin something


You may now take your blood pressure meds and relax
From my initial flip-through so far, not too much seems to have changed.
Sly Marbo is gone, Rough Riders are still there. Maybe I'll finally bust open the metal box of them I have
Plenty of pics of the new Plastic Ratlings and Ogryns
Some interesting new wargear and vehicle options to take too

Plastic ratlings??? I stopped looking at the other thread and missed out on those. They aren't a com I kit with the Ogryn are they .

No, not out yet. But they are different sculpts, so I just assume they will be plastic.

I could be wrong though...

Are those new sculpts? I recognise the last three......

Old sculpts....just found them in a 2010 blog.....

Really? hmm. I don't remember seeing them. oh well..new to me

Well, damn. I had you down as the font of all knowledge concerning hobbits....including hobbits in space Gonna have to move you from the top of the list now.....

well... dave... I expect to help keep the honour of all that love the imperial guard to make something that doesn´t hurt the eye out of the taurox... maybe you get even an additional rush of creativity and come up with a better name

the scions package I probably get myself too... I think there is plenty of use for a guy like me that works with plate armor for guardsmen all the time...

Were they Finecast or something? The Space Hobbits I have are all metal.

They switched any metals to finecrapst

Just had an idea for the taurox . Everyone hates the fender mounted guns, why not fender mount magnetized hobbits in space . That way your shots an pivot .

It's easy, just don't mount them there

I just had an idea for Marines, Any Marine not wearing a helmet loses his armor save

SM heads have that reinforced skeleton, which includes the skull. Make of that what you will Dave

I own SM, but I find too many new codecii are influenced by the whines and cries of jealous baby marine players.

They were jealous the IG got the Hydra, so, they get 2 new tanks that shoot down planes. Really? just couldn't include a new missile for the Whirlwind? FW Makes such the Hyperion class Whirlwind.

SM got the Centurion, gives biggert toughness, and extra wound, and allows 2 weapons to be fired if they have more than one system on them, Oh and with a device that allows split fire,,,,,Centurion=SM crisis suit sans jet-pack.

IG could use twinlinking more than SM as they have the worse Ballistic skill, but SM have almost twinlinked everything!

SM are given something that mimics other codex entries in effects when the baby mariney players cry loud enough.

@Vik. I'm just going through the Scion sprus now....there are a TON of options!! I mean..this is a great direction that GW is going with the separate shoulder/upper arm and knee/shin combos as far a I'm concerned. I still have a lot to play with, but these two sprues really look like a converters dream so far. OF course, when they are wearing armor I suppose it's easier to cut and reform limbs than when they are wearing bare skin or cloth.

@Shas..Marines have everything. Playing guard rewards strategic playing and requires more painting/modeling effort as far as I'm concerned. More grown up..I dunno. I suppose I should keep my Marine opinions to myself.

Bring your marine opinions dave, it's all good . I play marines, but they all wear helmets. My favorite part of a black library book was a traitor marine smiling as he pot shot these inferior new marines who were so stupid that they went around without wearing their helmets .

I like guard, just hated painting all those models that came off the table as fast as they were put out there. As it stands right now if someone made me a decent offer on all my marine stuff I'd take it. That's how tired I am of GW and their hit and miss system, marketing and price gouging.
