since my regiment has a general sci-fi look i wanted to make my leman russ battle tanks grav vehicles but i dont know how to accomplish this.
i was personally thinking about using a tau devilfish body and putting the turret on the body of the devilfish.
but mayby you guys have better ideas for making a grav-leman russ since i'm only doing ''conversions'' for about half a year.

I got a more modern/Hi tech look for my russes by combining chimeras chassis with a predator turret. If you want to to make it grav look at how the repulsor does it for the land raiders.



You could.even use the repulsor turret as a high tech option for the Russ.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758480/10017797.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758480/10017797.page GMT leman russ (tank) conversion ideas 40K or go to a resin manufacturer or use model kits from another IP entirely. It'll always be immediately identifiable as a Tau vehicle and that'll make for a poor conversion.

If you look at something like Dream Forge's new resin flug-stug, that's a cool hover tank option which is more techy than a Leman Russ and people woudln't recognize it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758480/10017846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/758480/10017846.page GMT leman russ (tank) conversion ideas

One route you may consider going is combining IG infantry and another imperial faction as allies for vehicles. I personally considered getting a force of imperial knights painted in IG gree supported by a platoon of basic troops. This way you can skip the WW1 looking tanks and go for a "walker sci-fi" aesthetic. People have done wonders with that:

Spoiler:


I too don't think it's worth converting Tau vehicles, as the dimensions are otally wrong and many people would not play against them if they are meant to represent a Leman Russ tank. (Mostly due to issues of cover etc) Now if you are looking to do a purely artistic conversion I don't see why you couldn't.

The other option is you can create a human manned Tau army if you like the hover technology. Read up on Gue'vesa (human auxiliaries in Tau armies)

It might be a fun conversion project but it would require a bit more labor to put Tau guns in the hands of humans.
