http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net I'm new to all wargaming. My friend ( ) introduced me to W40k universe.

I want to play an Imperial Guard based on fictional planet Equilibrium, somewhere in Segmentum Pacificus.

Because I'm just a poor student, most of "original" models are just too expensive for me, so here's my first question:
What is community's opinion to conversions of vehicles, based on real ones and converted to W40k universe?

For example, Here is my WIP Panther Vanquisher wich is based on WW2 Panther tank.

(Inspiration for gun came from Stygies VIII pattern + I made an Atlas recovery vehicle from remanis of LRBT)

My friend told me the reactions are mostly negative (but I don't fully trust him) so I came here.
I plan to do more complex conversions of IG vehicles and airplanes.
(For example: Convert this little beauty into a Thunderbolt Fighter.)
