Those I cannot crush with words I will crush with the tanks of the IMPERIAL GUARD

by | Jun 20, 2014

Lolz cuz replacing Imperial Guard with Astra Millipede just doesn't sound as epic.

Sup all,

I promised pics of painting an' stuff, but that hasn't happened yet (exam tomorrow morning). It will soon although in the mean time, here's Leman Russ tanks 5, 6 and 7 of 8 (LR Vanquisher tank Cmdr saved for last~). This brings the total to 8 LR chassis and ~11 chimera chassis (I snag ebay deals, don't you judge me, they're $55-83 a pop here) and one Taurox. Yes I bought a taurox- fer the guns I swear. You can judge me for that.

Anyhow, pics~

A LR exterminator and eradicator
 I made these two through a combination of old LR chassis and turrets (with the base cast in resin...shhhh!) and modern LR sides. They don't fit together quite well, so there's a 3mm gap at the rear that'll be plugged with plasticard.

5 shots of anti-vehicle death...mmmm
 I think I may leave sponsons off the exterminator (or Leman Russ Dalek? ;P) as there's no lascannon sponson (sad face).

I totally may have cast a few other pieces that I needed for the Russes. Personal use, blah blah blah. The Leman Russ Eradicator is a favourite variant. Nothing says "I love you" more than firing a mini-nuke at your enemies...unless there's additional 36" death...

E.coli, not to be confused with E.coli

I may or may not be studying whilst writing this post and taking the photos...
(E.coli - Entamoba coli, a protozoal parasite and E.coli- Escherichia coli, a bacteria)

A heavy flamer on an old Russ as battle cannons are ordnance :/
 Again, unsure about sponsons on a generic LRBT...the battle cannon makes everything else snap fire and that kinda sucks unless you do volume of fire- but why?



Sexy tank is sexy.

This is a simple conversion to do with the old Russes, provided you have an old heavy flamer piece, you just cut off the lascannon bit and glue. Viola. Simples.

Now for the Vanquisher turret with tank commander. I used some Tempestening Scone bits from the Taurox to make this guy as if he's gonna be BS4, he may as well look the part. Plus screaming Cadian heads are scary.
 
Because someone needs to compensate

 Same stats as a battle cannon but not ordnance? Hells yeah

That's right ladies, I pack some dangerous long-range weaponry


LOOK AT ME I'M IN AN INSPIRATIONAL POSE
And that's it for now, I should probs get back to microbiology study. Tis fun and the exam is in 12 hours...
