Using high technology I have come up with 3x variants based on a modified Aquarius chassis, if you beat me to this conversion, good on you I want to see a ton of pics, actual picture is a pices but I'd use an Aquarius, a regular taurox turret should suffice for most roles, but a predator in the fire support version would look mint

Spoiler:
IFV infantry carrier
IFV fire support (probably a taurox cannon or something of a similar size)
IFV ATGM system

The missile launcher variant looks very nice to me (not really surprising, if you know me). But I guess it has to wait a bit, until my heap of unpainted models shrunk a bit
Well this is not a stryker either, but it is the stryker's source design the Ratel
was a completely indigenously developed vehicle for South Africa's enviroment,
But that is beside the point. I have here is a suggestion to fellow modellers for an alternate vehicle, which also provides their model 2x additional exit points and a sensible design. This is not a request of Macinator, just a heads up to anyone thinking of making cool chimeras/taurox/razorbacks

I would like a weapon comparable to the conquer cannon, taurox battle cannon or any other battle cannon type weapon that is essentially the same thing.

That's some beautiful work there!
I have plans for mortar versions of my Bullfrog and Barmkin kits after the hard top version is done. Your conversion is a good indication of how awesome it's going to be

"Elysians: For when you absolutely, positively, must have 100% casualties"
New stuff today! First off we start with the Hard-top version of our Bullfrog chassis. This kit comes with the turret shown and four weapons that are all easily swappable. The chassis also has a fully detailed interior and is fully compatible with our Aquarius 6x6 & Half-track and the Picses 8x8.
Next we have the Hard-top version of our popular Barmkin kit, which also comes with the same turret shown above. This hull is also fully compatible with the GW Chimera kit.

At this point no. The Bullfrog front is a different width than the Chimera hull so it's not really compatible by itself. But if you're looking for one send me a PM and we can work something out
Thanks Machinator. I fear I won't be getting anything for a while. But I do like the glass driver's vision on the Bullfrog. Very much suits a light/medium armoured vehicle. Like the chimera/taurox.
Some new additions to our missile line of products. Now you can mount two or three of our Small and Medium Missiles on wing mounted pylons! A great addition to your flyers
Never thought I needed both kinds of weapons options mounted twin linked for my baneblade...
Needless to say, move over hammerhead, there's a new railgunner in town.

A couple of new items to fill out our product line. First up is the Yak 4x4 Wheeled Kit, the perfect option for turning your Taurox into a Monster Truck! (Huge Tires available separately too)
Then we finally have track armor for the Leman Russ!
A couple of big releases today to give you guys a few more options with the Chimera chassis. Introducing the Scorpio Hull and Side Armor, both with and without sponsons!
The hull finally gives you the option to use our Dual Weapon Turrets on the chimera chassis and with the addition of the Side Armor you can now customize it into a full battle tank.
