Where's the missile truck from? Is it that Russian missile truck I see from time to time?

Also where did you get all those spare rounds, I love them!

Kid K,

That was made by Ratgard Mins who did some great after market stuff and versions of GW tanks. He did this version of a transporter tracked vehicle and I modified it to take the GW Death Strike Missile. He used to be on Dakka, went by the name of "suvietrat". Not sure if the his company is still around I can't seem to find him any more. I still have one of these vehicles not built yet if your interested.

Mate unfortunately the shells were from Forge Would and they don't make them any more. I stocked up on about sixty of different types when I was building my Artillery Company.

Ah I though that truck looked familiar.

I think I've seen WWII ordinance sets out there with shells, and definitely remember some folks using .22 rounds as 40k shells too.

This plan may not work outside of 'Merica.

Hmm, .22 rds not sure about that Kid K. Ratgard did some very good after market. Most of my Artillery Company uses his side Armour. That was until the blood and skulls stuff came along. Hmm, might upgrade Jacka's Chimera soon.

Well I have now completed 38 Inso's Squats and five Rattling Snipers. That said I have not completed a full Squad or Platoon yet. I have done two half Squads being 1st and 3rd Squad with 1st Troop Comd Squad done. So three Snipers are complete now plus the "Old Sgt" has a Green Beret and a Mud Brown Coy marking. Some photos me thinks!

Their is nothing better then seeing Squats in command of Tanks!

A lovely display of progress .

Just for info, Ratgard stopped selling their cool vehicles a while ago and have disappeared online so that tank/truck/crawler will be starting to get expensive now so if you have a new one... it may be worth a bit. I'd just build it and get it painted but that's just me !

Great work on the troops and vehicles .

He did do some great after market and new stuff. To bad he has gone. Not sure what I will do with the crawler left over as I was going to use it as a luncher for my Imperial Moles. That got over taking by the Manic Models I built and it is to small for that role.

Love the Deathstrike carrier- really neat piece of mobility enhancer there!

And very much like the planetary casemented artillery- a woefully under-appreciated branch of the Red Legs, in everyone's estimation.
