http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Disclaimer: I hate resin.

Other Disclaimer: I have an unreasonable obsession with finding and making an old Eldar superheavy tank...like the ugly resin Armorcast ones.

I mean the Eldar Tempest. Precursor (more or less) to the current Scorpion.

NOT MINE - JUST A PHOTO SAMPLE


In all its awful glory. However, I'm just jonesing to take a crack at a mega-rescue. Bringing this old resin beast up to date with some heavy surgery. Luckily the cheapest one I see is $80+ which is more than I'm willing to drop on an evening's whim. Talk me out of it. More importantly, does anyone have a 2nd edition datafax for this bad boy? I have one, but it doesn't look legit. If I don't run it as a Scorpion I'll make up my own stats for the actual Tempest itself (should be easy, a few weapon swaps, etc.).

Anyone have experience with it? It's literally like four pieces so I think even I could handle it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10042030.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10042030.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043020.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043020.page GMT
Depends on your Grognard Factor, really.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043120.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043120.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043127.page GMT
I am looking at stuff like creating or molding new laser barrels - perhaps using a new current turret (the Fire Prism turret is surprisingly large). I'd be adding shuriken catapults to the actual nubs on the front (they're supposed to be shuriken catapult ports). I'd probably add random modern engine bits and various bits from the Eldar vehicle line.

I admit I'm a bit dubious...but the grognard/rescuer in me is really leaning.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043174.page GMT Really love it, looks very goofy though lol. I am big on 90s models so I am very happy to finally have one after dreaming about it from childhood times.

Eldar next!
You wont stumble upon it cheap, because I will be there to bid moahahahhah.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043409.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043409.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043426.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10043426.page GMT
On the other hand, mine were ORK vehicles, so being clunky and charmless is expected. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10045903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10045903.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10045976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10045976.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10046102.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/759522/10046102.page GMT
