This sorta topic was posted about a month ago in using the Leviathan as a suitable proxy for the Warhound. If you would've read that thread you would know not to post a topic like that on here. It went on for 3+ pages or some such nonsense. I bought a Leviathan because I wanted a REAL model to work with as I think its a much better quality model than basically anything Forgeworld puts out. If you don't have a problem with your opponent asking you 2 or 3 times per round what weapons it has on it, I say go for it. If they're legal in your local group, I'd ask those players what weapons they think would be suitable replacements/proxies, not the dakka world, and roll on. I bought mine, not to spam d weapons like most of the anti-Leviathan people think is the reason for buying one, but to run dual vulcan mega bolters on it. Gotta love a heavy 30 anything in a game!!! Assemble it and put an imperial looking paint job on it. Done.

The op asked what weapons would/could be used as suitable proxies. It turned into an anti-leviathan thread. If you don't have any constructive criticism then put it in one of the other threads asking if it's acceptable as a proxy or keep your negative opinions to yourself.

Does anyone who has one of those things have any idea if it would make a good basis for a stompa? Would it be easy to remove the armour and build a plasticard shell over the basic structure?

If you loot one and make it orky, you have to post pics! But I agree with the above comment. It's about the same cost but I understand to have something custom looking.
