Stormseer,

They look great. I would not have thought to do such a light color myself, but they do not look bad in that color.

I look forward to seeing the army all together. As an army I am sure it will look awsome.  :;):

Tas, if Markconz can not spare them, I can. Let me know either way. ?:;):

dafrca - ?thanks matey, most apprecaited!

And yes back OT S/Seer... ?:L
Nice work! ?I've just done a heap of tanks using a similar method, but in a darker grey. ?The lighter colour looks good though and en mass would be very impressive...or scary, depending which side of the table you are standing on! :D

Hi!

The "polar white" is an effective scheme, especially with the extra color for unit marking and such.

Nice job Stormseer!

Anyone have any idea how to make normal Russ into Vanquishers (yes i know - extend the barrel!! :p ... but how?)??? I don't want flimsy barrels which might break off.

P.S. Tas I will try and check the Mk of these LR tonight.

Those tanks look great.  

The first line form Hunt for Red October comes to mind.

"Yes...very cold."

It just sounds so much cooler when a scotsmans says it in Russian.  :;):

One person I saw made his from Brass Rods. He cut the old barrel off and then drilled a hole, placed a brass rod and then finished it with a brass tube on the end to make the break.

I made a Vanq (before I bought one!) by taking the barrel off a L/R Mk.3. And fitting and gluing it on another L/R Mk.3 !  I made an Executioner by gluing a small plasma gun on the turret I took the barrel off of !  They don't look too bad ! :D

Aha! That sounds like just way to do it! ?Nice and tough. Down to the hobby store for brass rod and tube when I have time!

I did think about L4's idea (tho maybe heaps of expoxy glue around the join filed down as a break would be strong enough)...

I am bit of a stickler for having nice strong minis, going as far as replacing every spear/pike etc on all my historical miniatures with wire. It's one reason I've avoided the FW IG variants so far...

Cheers guys ?:D

P.S. Sorry for interupting your thread again Stormseer  :blush: stream of conciousness and all that... I've got 3 LR tank companies needing vanquisher conversions!!

I did the same, using some spare 40k plasma pistols which fit nicely.

of course they were out of a friend's bitz box.  I dont play 40k... :L

I'd recommend metal tube of the right thickness. Hypodermic needles are excellent but be prepared to receive some strange looks when buying them...  :;):  Then it's just the matter of adding the "bumps" (thermal sleeves and muzzle brakes) to the barrel with green stuff.
