I'm working on an IG regiment including african tribal elements and plan on including some animal models as "counts as" Vehicles. I bougt an armored War Elephant that was intended as Centaur Carrier to drive arround my Company Commander and his Command Squad in style, but he is just to small and will be a Sentinel instead.

Now I stumbled over the Stegadon from Age of Sigmar:
https://www.games-workshop.com/de-DE/Seraphon-Stegadon
and found his dimensions as being about 6” long, 1.75” wide, and 2” tall

It looks more as if it could fit as Centaur
(as a reminder, this thing here:
https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Centaur)
which seems to be around 4.4'' long and 2.8'' wide and somewhat above 3'' tall

My questions are:
1. Are there official rules regarding how much of size difference is OK for replacement vehicles? Or if not: would you personally be OK with a replacement being almost 50% longer?
2. Can anybody who has the model tell me if the platform on its back is large enough to place 5 x 25mm round infantry bases on top?
3. Can it stand stabile without a base/with a significantly smaller base (as the official120 x 92 mm base would be quite a stretch for a centaur)?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10658289.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10658289.page GMT Re:AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10658639.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10658639.page GMT AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier?
OR, you could magnetize the feet of the crew, so they can be removed from the bases and stuck onto the howdah without them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10659199.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10659199.page GMT Re:AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier?

If you really want to run Centaurs on a budget (and in plastic), look at the Achilles Ridgerunner. Not a creature, but you can dune buggy the hell out of it pretty readily.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10659206.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10659206.page GMT AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier?

I really like the idea. You could even use a smaller base to fit the centaur's size more.

Generally, it's only a problem if you take a big unit and make it smaller (so you can hide it behind stuff, modeling for advantage, etc)

I don't think anyone would ever mind if you made a unit a little bit bigger. Great plan, can't wait to see pictures.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10659247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10659247.page GMT Re:AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier?
@ Sterling: I already considered the Ridgerunner, but more as a "counts as" Tauros Venator as I like those but they seem hard to get.
Even if the Stegadon fits a Chimera better size wise, I find it hard to see him carry 12 guys + driver and sporting W11 T7. The Centaurs W7 T6 and 5 man capacity matches better.

@ ph34r: OK, so if larger size is less of a problem, I will try it. I will gladly share pictures, but it will be a while until I get around it. I would guess somewhere in the middle of 2020.

Sadly, taking a mini off an existing base is pretty much guaranteed to wreck the base, and even if you salvage the base you will wreck the work you put into the basing so you'll need to make new bases for them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10660489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10660489.page GMT Re:AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10660619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10660619.page GMT Re:AoS Seraphon Stegadon as "counts as" Centaur Carrier? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10731641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/783343/10731641.page GMT
