Hi fellow Guard,
Very nice armour conversions, I will follow your thread.
Nice to see that someone shares my theme anyway! I feel like we're playing the same regiment (you can see mine in my signature)
Keep going with your good work !

Hey, I have just seen your response going back to your thread.
It would be a pleasure to have someone to share and improve my work on my Rhayians. I have written plenty of material on them but only in French. For example, I have my own codex! We could discuss about a common army with special rules and wargear we could playtest in our own games.
Perhaps a common blog on dakka we could update?
Long live and glory to the 25th Rhayé Armoured Division then !

As i'm more or less up and running with my grand plan i feel its time to set some meandering goals for my army...
Guard goals:
1) Build 3 more russ's - giving me a total of 2 executioners, 1 exterminator and one pask punisher (probably using the freya until if and when i want to replace it) bringing my playable points up to 1000.
2) Buy a mil - 35 'hind' kit and whack some punisher cannons on it making a mean vulture gunship.
3) Allied detachment of 1 Vanquisher, 1 Thunderer siege tank, 1 Destroyer lazer tank hunter, 1 medusa sige cannon on a russ chassis.
4) Make use of my Malacor templates and build some mean battle tanks.
5) Generally piss around with russ chassis's until i run out, thinking mini Dracosan, auxilia basalisk, conquers etc

The house is a state flux I.e. serious renovations so i have no room to hobby for a week or so. I'm thinking i will try do FW mars pattern alpha pattern style rear, but tweak it a bit and get rid of the engine block.

Finally carved out some modelling space in amongst the chaos!
So started on the russ hulls, going to do a few different rears. also striped of the the hull from my old scratch built russ so i can use that. I think the sneaky mek boy lootas will steal the tracks off the scrap heaps and use them on a bigg trakk.

Was writing this post as you posted haha! Thanks for the encouragement!
More or less finished the hull now, but will show all the pics so i can explain things.
First of all i drilled and cut the hole for the turret to fit into, a little time consuming but i think worth it as the turret fits into it and can move! As i'l be using exact copys of the turrets they will all be able to do this.
Went for an elongated vision slit to change things up abit, looked too bare so i added some rivets to spice it up.
With the rear i didn't really know what to do as i got the shapes wrong and couldn't be bothered to cut an engine block. Had some rivet material around so i made a giant exhaust, which took up some of the space. However because its lacking the front box too, it looks a little small; so i may add some ammo storage wear the jerry can is, just to bulk it up.

So to bulk up the model i would like to use the space behind the hull. hear are my ideas what do you think, external storage? or internal ammo?
Would have more detail on the ammo, like hatches and 'AMMO' written in beg letters.

Cheers! Added an ammo box to the storage and some more detail on the front of the hull as i thought it was still looking a bit sparse. Quite happy with the result, looksa bit lighter than a slandered Russ like a dessert rat, will have double auto cannons on the turret which will keep with the light theme. Also finally added the tracks and it looks pretty slick, not to far of the real deal. Also started on the turret and gun moulds, while i wait for them to dryi will do another run of tracks and another hull.

Good putting that Jerry Can in the stowage hopper, now for boxes and other stuff for the crew, pack packs, ammo boxes, canisters, etc. If you can afford it, Zinge Industries has all of that and they are crisp and clean pieces.
Great work on the tank!

Cheers shasolenzabi, i don't have money but have been rummaging the depths of my bitz and found a few odds and end as you suggested, does look better.
Started on the next chassis, this one will probably be an executioner twin to my other but with a double size engine block.

Rebuilt this can, chucked some bad casts on it, will use it as a proxy if I have any games soon. Really like the low front, makes it look like a slab of tank, sort of the Russ feal. Think I will use that sort of bottom in the next one.

Progress! put the turret holder on(not sure what you call that bit) & added the tracks, needs greenstuff and the front details, possibly some stuff on the back to ass it looks rather chunky. Oh, and turrets, but made the moulds for them so just need to get casting. However i now have enough models to have a 1000pts army! (even if they are lacking parts  ).

Sounds good to me mate! A couple of them will have to be Medusa siege cannons though.
