I think that's an IG tank commander instead of a Speesh Marine one.

The idea to use termie launchers instead of organ launchers isn't bad by itself, I'd say.

I'm trying to think back on how expensive cyclone missile launcher bits were. I think this conversion costs more than a new Exorcist.

Russ mounted wrong way around, front end from a Rhino, and this is the turret:

plus "lots of different bits from a lot of different kits." It's not a completely offensive model, though the brass barrel extensions bother me too much because of how much smaller they are than the actual modeled barrel.

Those are the old metal cyclones which could be bits ordered for a buck or two each, they sure aren't the plastic parts from the newer terminator boxes.

I don't fault him for building his own version of something GW makes. After all, if I was still sucking on their teat, I'd be building my own tanks from the ground up.

Well, the maximini turret would be waaay too big for the Chimera hull, not that it isn't too large for a back-Russ.

As for the barrel extension, I think they were thinking about those protruding ends that gatling guns, Assault cannons and old timey water cooled MGs have at the end.

The only way to hams is to buy minis off eBay, get conversion bits from China and use any other ruleset. I have a stupid idea for a Five Men in Nocturne campaign LP that I will never carry out.

Well, if he were actually doing that it would be acceptable.

But he's not. He's used a minimum of a Leman Russ, Rhino and the third party turret. There's no way that is cheaper that just buying the Hydra.

"Unarmoured Amazon Warrior" - well, yeah.



"Unarmoured female fighter" - I'm starting to detect a theme tying this range together...



"Chaos warrior metal slotta citadel GW games workshop talisman alternative A"

muppetpasterian on ebay is apparently a great source for random old crap with eye popping paint jobs!

It's amazing how many old sculpts like those have absolutely zero effort on the faces. Like, they're barely faces at all. You can do your best with paint but you're still basically painting a muppet head.

Apparently stuff like this gets more interest on ebay if you imply that a clothed female might not be.
