Deathwatch Land Speeder Storm

I managed to finish my homage to Special Forces vehicles yesterday from a rescued ebay Land Speeder Storm:



So the weapon pay load is 2 Twin Heavy Bolters, Twin Assault Cannons and 2 side pintle mounted single Heavy Bolters. I decided to crew the vehicle with Deathwatch Veterans from less common Chapters (from Shapeways):

Storm Warriors piloting
Imperial Castellan co-pilot
Halo Dragons Pintle mounted turret
Dark Hands Left side operator
Knights of Eternity Right side operator.

Each of them have a holstered Bolt Pistol and the standing Veterans all have a slung Bolter. The compulsory Deathwatch Icon was added to the front glacis. The Twin Heavy Bolters and Assault Cannons were taken from the Master of the Ravenwing kit. The side pintle mounts were from Zinge Industries with the single Heavy Bolters from the Attack Bike kits. The turret cupola was taken from the rear Taurox hatch.



This shows the front right side. Everything was edge highlighted - painful, but looks good! The base was made up of my compulsory dead swarm of Genestealers and Hormogaunts!



The right side Heavy Bolter was converted to have the ammo box on the right side. I really like the Chapter Badges on these Deathwatch Veterans.



This shows the left side. Luckily the side gunners have magnetised boots to stop them falling out!

I had great fun making this and painted it in record time for me!

Please feel free to comment and ask any questions.

Regards, Phil.

It's pretty awesome, if not a bit OTT in typical Marine fashion. My only critique would be to add some definition to the gribblies on the base, perhaps a wash and matt varnish to tone down the gloss a bit.
