I'm continuing work on my morally ambiguous eldar project, and I'm getting stuck on vehicles. Has anyone kitbashed a Wave Serpent and a Raider? Bikes will be no prob for me, and the flyers are practically the same already. Just can't figure out the transports....

I believe he means combining the two kits.

Correct.

I'm not exactly sure how you'd go about combining the two kits -- they look so very different. Unlike the jetbikes, they have nothing in common in terms of shape or aesthetic.

If anyone does come up with something, I'm very curious to see!

Maybe try something more akin to the old style wave serpents?

I am currently working on converting a Star weaver into a Corsair Raider. When I have pics, I'll post them

I suggest doing something like I am doing. The Starwaever is larger than a Venom and comes with a closed canaopy, similar to the serpent. Then it would be a simple matter of extending the rear to make it larger. For my conversion, I am using 2 Raider sails on either side of the rear. You could even convert a large canopy cover that is magnetized to come off when representing a Raider

Using this as a base, and magnetizing the turrent would be a good start. You could have a TL turrent when using Serpent rules, and a single gun turrent when using Raider rules

Spoiler:

OoooOOooooh... That has given me some thoughts. I wasn't thinking about the old style.

Specifically the center model. I am working on this as my Corsair Raider for my Eldar/DE alliance. It is as large as a Raider, but wider.
