I'm updating my latest ideas:
--------------------------------------
- Damocles Command Rhino
A Rhino with command antennas, satellite uplink, etc.
- This shouldn't be too hard since all I have to do is to add comms equipment until I get a "command" version.
- HELIOS LAND RAIDER
A special Landraider with a missile launcher on top of the hull.
- Most people have suggested using Whirlwind missiles, but I want something that better approximates the squarish missile box on the HELIOS.
- LAND RAIDER - CRUSADER
A special Landraider that trades out its side lasers for x6 heavy bolters, adds gatling cannons up top, and has fragmentation charges on the hull.
- I have had two ideas how to do this:
- 1. Cut up three Leman Russ Bolter sponsons to approximate the heavy bolters and don't worry about the gatling cannons..
- 2. Use BFG Imperial weapons turrets to approximate the heavy bolters and the assault gun off of a Landspeeder.
- LAND RAIDER PROMETHEUS COMMAND TANK
A special Landraider with command capability.
- This shouldn't be too hard since all I have to do is to add comms equipment until I get a "command" version.l Landraider with command capability.
- LAND SPEEDER TEMPEST
A Landspeeder with a one-man armoured cockpit, larger wings, missiles, and a souped-up engine.
- I'm thinking that Brigade's SF300-506 Giap Grav scout vehicle makes an excellent Landspeeder Tempest.

- Whirlwind Hyperios
A SAM Rhino for the SMs.
- I'm looking at adding a small missile launcher to the Rhino frame. I don't want to use regular Rhino - Whirlwinds.
----------------------------------------------
- How about the following FW IG vehicles:
- ATLAS RECOVERY TANK
It looks like a Leman Russ chassis with an A-frame towing jig and other recovery equipment.
- I'll add an A-frame towing jig and a crane to an ATLAS frame.
- Chimera (Gryphonne IV pattern) with autocannon turret
A Chimera with an autocannon turret.
- I think that if I add a Mk.I metal Leman Russ turret that it would do the job!
- CYCLOPS DEMOLITION VEHICLE
It looks similar to the German WWII remote control demolition tank. It's essentially a tankette packed with explosives.
- NAVWAR - WWII German Vehicles
- NT147 GOLIATH DEMOLITION VEHICLE - x 3 - 30p

- Irregular also has a WWII German Goliath version, but the casting is very poor.
- Imperial Valkyrie Airborne Assault Carrier
Air cav for the IG.
- I'll use the CAV Fenri for this.
- Imperial Vulture Gunship
A gunship to cover the air cav.
- I have no idea how to do this. It's looking like it'll take a lot of conversion!
- SENTINEL POWERLIFTER
A sentinel with two load carrying claws / cargo arms. Anyone have recall from "Aliens 2?"
- I still don't have any good ideas how to do this.
- TARANTULA SENTRY GUN WITH HEAVY BOLTERS
A Tarantula variant with twin linked heavy bolters instead of the standard twin linked heavy lasers.
- I have no idea.
- TARANTULA SENTRY GUN WITH LASCANNONS
A Tarantula variant with the standard twin linked heavy lasers.
- I'm going to use the old lead versions or the Brigade piece for this.
----------------------------------------------
How about the following E-A SM units:
- HUNTER (use a Whirlwind to represent Hunters for the moment)
Another SM SAM Rhino. How does this compare to the Whirlwind Hyperios?
- This vehicle and the Whirlwind - HYPERIOS are the same thing in my book.
- I'm looking at adding a small missile launcher to the Rhino frame. I don't want to use regular Rhino - Whirlwinds.
- LAND SPEEDER - Standard (No models yet, use whatever you have to hand!)
It's the same as the Epic-40k metal Landspeeder except without the heavy support weapon mounted under the chassis.
- I'll just cut off the gatling cannon mounted underneath the Land Speeder. I can use that gatling cannon for my Crusaders.
- LAND SPEEDER TYPHOON (No models yet, use whatever you have to hand!)
It's a standard Landspeeder with two AP missile launchers mounted on either side of the rear fuselage.
- I think that I'll have to make the missile launchers out of plasticard.
- SPACE MARINE COMMANDER
- I'm going to mount special characters on pennies and build them a little mount to stand on. Painting regular plastic figures differently should be enough to distinguish them.
- I'll use some proxy infantry where I can.

Shalom,
