I'm also using ork big gunner guns to replace the lascannons as I think the ones that come on them look a bit fragile.
On a related note, I'm looking for five plastic ork gunnerz.

I wanted to use the FW Leman Russ hulls for my cadian army, so I made a resin conversion 'kit' for them, consisting of a turret and two sponsons. |

Silly E&C! If you can make resin conversion kits, you can make plastic ork lascannon bitz. This was a project on my 'someday' list. I'm glad you beat me to it, so now I don't have to spend time on it. Job's a good 'un! |

Well done that man, those look great, how did you get such a good 'casting' result? |

Really great looking castings. I hope someday to be half as good. Laters |

Many years ago, there was a guy who posted occasionally that had a vacuum chamber. If my swiss cheese memory is to be trusted, he was a dentist and was able to do things like use his office equipment and get dental cement for cheap. He did some neat stuff and had a thread where he talked about using the vacuum with tips and such. I seem to recall him producing terrain pieces (lots of sandbag emplacements, iirc). That was before the Great Epicomms Meltdown, though. I doubt CS has the archives anywhere handy... |

Nice ! Upgrading your force ! And I agreed, the frakkin' F/W barrels are too frakkin' fragile ! Give that advice to your F/W Buddies !  And you can replace those Orky Hvy Wpns barrels with anything, they're Orks for crying out loud !  But again great conversions !

And I agreed, the frakkin' F/W barrels are too frakkin' fragile ! Give that advice to your F/W Buddies ! Aye they know, but they have this odd policy of having all their Epic sculpts exactly one fifth the size of the 40k sculpt, regardless of the practical considerations. Sometimes I think some of their stuff would be better done in metal! But again great conversions ! Cheers, I'm aiming to do a full 10 for a Leman Russ company, which is why I'm casting them rather than converting every one by hand. |

I agree, with that E&C ! Metal would be better ! The new resin they are using now, may make some difference. But got all my F/W Epic before that. However, even though I complain, I've had very few brake !

Sweet conversions! May be it?s just me, but I don?t like the FW Leman Russ! The turrets are great, but the tracks are way to small! |
