I
recently finished up some city guards for Gelida. The base models for
these are Wargames Atlantic 'Grognards'. I used GW weapons since I already had a
bunch of extras. I also replaced the leader's mask with one from the
Necromunda Goliaths kit just to make him stand out a bit more. The comms guy received a greenstuff mask.
I particularly like the bodies and heads in this set- the bearskins are super cool and I'm sure I'll use them on some other projects as well. The kit has a straight-up insane variety of head types.
Naturally, I wanted them to have a ride but all of the many tanks and walkers in my pile of shame are destined for other projects. I hopped on Thingiverse and found a couple different models I could combine to make a wheeled Repressor/Rhino looking APC.

Very nice indeed. I like the vehicle though I imagine tracks would be better in snow (?? no idea personally I have never seen snow except in movies, photos, etc).
ReplyDeleteThat's a good point, I thought about it for a bit because my impression is also that tracks would be better for a tank. I did a bit of research on Russian and Soviet APCs and other wheeled snow vehicles and there are some neat wheeled examples. I live in an area that gets a fair amount of snow and tires are certainly not the best :)
DeleteAs far as my project goes, one faction has a tracked vehicle, one has a half-track, and this one has wheels :)
Factional identification is always a good reason to choose something different!
DeleteWhat a glorious rhino conversion, you added so much the base chassis is hardly recognisable anymore.
ReplyDeleteYour really made the theme your own and every picture is a real treat.
Sensational work all over.
Thank you sir, high praise!
DeleteThe grognard guards are excellent. You have an extensive bit box...
