Hi everybody, well I finally managed to get hold of a camera, only to discover that I then took some really rubbish pics!!
Still at least we have signs of progress, albeit slow. Didn't get as much done as I should have done over the weekend, but that's mainly because the conversions I had in my head didn't quite turn out to be so easy in reality!
First up is the almost complete Bungaroo Pattern Chimera.
However for fluff sake I present:
Guilliman Pattern Chimera with Auto Cannon and Heavy Bolter
Then just because I get distracted so easily instead of assembling the Hardened Vets to go with this I started making the mock up Turret for my Guilliman Pattern Hellhound.
In the theme of the army this uses Marine Razorback Parts mounted on a Chimera chassis, in this case a modified Razorback turret with converted Land Raider Redeemer flamers.
This is one of those ideas that worked really well in my head, but now in practice I'm not so sure (although it's hard to tell with the quality of the photos).
It does look like a Guard Razorback which is sort of the point, but I think the combination of the Razorback Turret and the Bungaroo pattern Chimera make the profile a bit too high.
I am considering mounting the Inferno Cannon further forward above the driver section (it is a remote turret similar to the Graia pattern Hellhound), but I will wait and see.
This is still very, very WIP. I plan to make some modifications to the Chimera chassis too to include the fule bowser etc, but this was just to get a feel for the turret.
And then I also started some of my Vets, but obviously haven't got far.
Apart from the FW heads these are pretty much straight Cadians apart from the sergeant. I have shaved off some of his chest armour and added a Brass Etched FW Aquilla. This is to make him look more Ultramarine like, without going too far.
I have also shaved off the little lug things on the back of their armour to give a smoother more streamlined appearance.
Cheers for looking, I promise to take better photos next time!
