I had an excess of razorbacks and rhinos, and wanted to try something new. A saw, some pipe and glue and bam big gun counts as Vindi. Thoughts?

That is extremely neat

Could you build up the base of the turret a bit more to make it look more like a shell could be lifted up through it? Otherwise, nice.

I like it but build it up a little more, as is it looks like a rhino with a gun strapped on the top. If your going for a looted wagon, looks good as is

I like it, but as mentioned I think it needs more details. Currently it just looks like a rhino with a sort of big gun strapped on top, which is cool, but I'd like to see it taken further.

That way, when you have your crazy looking rhino chassis with an unidentified gun thing strapped on top and people ask about it, you can say "it's a counts-as vindicator, you see this part here is XYZ" etc etc and people are more likely to be comfortable with it. As it stands, you could be accused of being lazy and just creating it because you wanted the vindi rules. As I said I still think it looks cool as-is but it's relatively simplistic and simplistic conversions tend to raise powergaming suspicion whether the model in question is competitive or not, unfortunately.

What about taking and putting a dozerblade blade on it? Also, any ideas of good parts to add to build it up ? Was thinking possibly the vindi kit side panels or something similar
