So, I finally got all of my tanks from ebay. I've got about half the full Force Organization chart filled up right now. Let's see what we have to work with, shall we?
Not a bad start so far. Keep in mind I'm using Leman Russ Conquerors instead of the standard battle cannon. The turrets will come later. Let's get a closer look at each of these beasts.
Ouch! Those of you who were around last night saw my rant about the WARPED Leman Russ Demolisher. I'm still angry, but hopefully I can fix the damage. That's why this is a work in progress, right?
This one had a decent looking paint job to start, but it just wasn't what I wanted. One thing I want to point out: look at where the smoke launchers are. Who the hell fires smoke to the sides and behind?
This one cracked me up. I have never ever ever in my life seen a tank painted in this particular shade of green. I suppose he expected it to be ceremonial...:grin:
I'll need to order some heavy bolters from GW to add some sponsons to this one. Otherwise it is pretty much ready to paint.
This one is also just about ready to paint. I have to just glue the dozer blade back into place.
Now I realize that some people may make rookie mistakes, but I still had to laugh when I got this one. The turret and the hull heavy bolter are glued into place. It also has lichen glued all over the tracks. Still, it's in better shape than some of the others.
I was actually pretty happy that the earthshaker was not glued onto the chassis. I wasn't sure what type of artillery piece I wanted, be it Basilisk, Manticore, or Hydra. Maybe I'll use all three...:so_happy:
Just your average run of the mill chimera. I'll have to buy two heavy bolter turrets for the other two chimeras though.
