Well I've been working on my armored company and I'd finished 14 of the russes before I realized that a couple of exterminators would be handy. 
So i carved off the mounting plates on the side, slapped some predator sponsons on, carved open the turret opening a bit and glued an  Academy 1/35 50cal. on top for a stubber.



I still need to paint and wash the turret and sponsons. 

When its finished it'll look like my steel legion tanks:

Oooo. I like the Exterminator turret. Nice work. From a reality point of view it would be impractical for the crew to reload the drum magazines since they are outside the turret, but it looks good none-the-less. I also like the sponson idea you have used. Are they securely attached to the hull, because I would be afraid they might get broken off during transport/play. I guess that they are pretty much the same as when they are attached to Preds though...

Sweet.

I agree with Beast, the drum magazines would be pretty hard to load.  Maybe it would be better to cut off the autocannons at the rectangular plate, and attach that to the turret. A manlet would not be amiss either.  I am not sure that the targeter box is needed with autocannons, so in my own version of the tank, I mounted two, and call them ammo storage boxes.

The heavy bolters look nice as well, although you should tie the sponson support into the hull of the tank.  The gap between the supports and the hull is a bit disconcerting.

Looks cool, I like the predator style sponsons too, they just look cooler than the boxy ones

the box on the left side of a russ turret is how you get the shells inside of it =-)

the hull hvy bolter needs to be shorter, and i also think the drums belong on the inside. it would be suicide to go out of your armored interior to reload your main weapon afterall yeah?

Suicide?

THIS...IS...THE IMPERIUM!
*kicks Kaine down a blast crater*

but they all got a point,except maybe I'd just move one drum to the opposite side of the cannon to balance it.Oh and shorten the Hvy Bolter on the hull,cause that just doesnt look right

Nice auto cannons.

I like the conversion. Is the main body already painted silver?
