<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers DE for me.

So, I know their are lots of other companies out their that make 28mm vehicles (Ramshackle games... etc) but does anyone know of any that make 28mm skimmers? Hopefully with one the right size for a venon counts as.

Thanks

I'm going for something quite like this: http://www.legendgames.org/acatalog/Nikto_Gunner_on_Desert_Skiff.jpg
For my raiders and ravagers.

I'm going to achieve this by taking a Raider (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat540001a&prodId=prod900156a ) and cutting down it's shape loads. Off with the 'bridge' and the prow and the gun at the front. Removing the dark eldar railings and filling in the 'grooves' in the main body.

Then I'm going to add a big ramshackle engine in the middle, camo netting, kroot guns and rifles and hopefully make it look much more kroot like.

However the shape of the venom is too hard to disguise. At the moment I am considering just taking a raider, doing as I just said above, and then chopping out the middle section to make it shorter.

Does anyone have any other ideas? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3490188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3490188.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers
I can't think of a decent skimmer from another company.

I think Grass4hopper might have it


I've decided I'm going to go with my blasters and dark lances being represented by Crossbows (like Wookie crossbows). Finding infantry sized ones should be easy enough. Finding the 7 tank sized ones, much harder...

Does anyone know of a site that sells large bolt throwers at cheap prices? I'm thinking roman ballistas will open up the historical option.

What i really want is something like the bolt thrower here but not for £12.50 as spending £80 on dark lances alone isn't very appealing. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?prodId=prod1070137
I can 3d model. does anyone know if it's possible to make 3d models, then get them printed by a 3d printer and sent to me? Are 3d printed models good enough quality for warhammer?

Check ebay for WHFB stegadon bits, they have an option for a big bolt thrower. Quick search and I found one for $1.99 w/2.75 shipping... I didn't check for bits in the U.K. but I assume they're available as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492663.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492663.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers

Isn't this better?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492672.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers

Well, the OP didn't want to spend 12pounds on a bolt thrower so I doubt he'll want to spend 47pounds for the whole model.

Agreed that it'd probably make a great venom stand-in but not sure it'd mesh with the chopped raiders he'll be using. He could go all organic and get squigoths and gnarlocs to represent the different vehicles though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492690.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers

That would be awesome (although pretty expensive).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492777.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492777.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers apoc centrepieces or as a counts as Talos. You see, you just can't represent a skimmer with a walking beast That's a counts as too far.

A bolt thrower like that is exactly what I'm after. I'm hoping to either find one (hopefully for no more than £5 each) or 3d print them or make them out of matchsticks and string and greenstuff! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3492796.page GMT Re:Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3495586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3495586.page GMT Re:Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEAL-20101a-Ballista-25mm-miniature-CASTLE-Defense-/140164290163?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20a2715673#ht_500wt_1081

Personally I think this would fit the Kroot look well, and seems to be about the perfect size.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3495806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3495806.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3497496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3497496.page GMT Kroot Vehicles: Looking for skimmers ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3497585.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/406273/3497585.page GMT
