Hi!

I agree with Tuff in that the arms from the dreadnought model makes a pretty cool gatling cannon.

Greetings all -

For my Hunters/Hyperios, I modified a whirlwind to only have one missile 'pod' and paint it in a scheme that contrasts with my WWs.

Take a peek: Hunters

They aren't quite finished...but you get the idea... :)

Later,
Larry.

I love your work. It looks fabulous. I've seen several single WW rocket packs converted into Hunters and I really like your take on it.

What did you use as the base of the Hunter missile launcher?

Your magnetization project on the Wraithlord is great. I've already converted quite a few of my Titans to magnetic interchangeable weapons and hope to eventually convert them all to that standard.

Andy Skinner and I once tried to get other interested in the magnetic weapons idea for Epic Titans, but there wasn't much interest at the time.

By the way, welcome to the forum. I only remember seeing you post once or twice before.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Nice take on the Hunter. Looks very nice.

Isn't that the base of the Whirlwind "turret"?

I believe it is.

Larry?

Hey all -

Sorry for the delay in reply... work is busy!

Yes - That's the normal WW turret base, with a single rocket 'pod' glued directly onto it. Simple but effective.

Maksim,

Thanks for the praise on the magnetized WraithLord - it was a fun project and I'm very pleased with the end result. I've started buying Warlord bitz from GW and will be looking them over with an eye towards making some swap-able weapons kits. I'll post concepts and photos as they become available. :)

You're right! - I haven't posted much (maybe once or twice)... but I've been lurking here for months, taking notes... :)

Lastly, if you're interested, I have a couple more small photos of some of my (mostly finished) SM BA Epic minis...

Dreadnaught ??

...and...

LRs & Dread

The photos came out a little bright, but they give you a pretty idea of what they look like...

Later,
Larry.

Very good job with the Wraithlord...

Fantastic painting and modelling with the magnetics...

Epic stuff looks great too! :D

FarSeerElandrieth,

Have you made any more progress on your minis since your last post?

I'm working on some Jopalli infantry companies.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Once I get those Titan Carapace Multi-laser Turrets from Doug, I'm going to mount them on Rhino/Pred hulls and make another version of a "flak tank"... :cool:

- Imperial VULTURE GUNSHIP
- A gunship to cover the air cav.


My latest idea is to make a Vulture gunship to accompnay my Valkyrie transport flyers.

-------------------------

Here's the plan:

- Use the old Silent Death Salamander as the base fuselage.
- Mold and cast some Squat Gyrocopter turbines to mount on the back of the chassis.
- Chop off the booms from some old Scotia P-38s in my bitz box and mount under the wings.
- Add a BFG turret to the nose.
- Add random ordinance to the wings.

-------------------------

Here's another idea:

Why not use the Reaper 07070: Mark IV Ghast (2) as a good VULTURE GUNSHIP proxy?

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

- 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.


It just dawned on me:

These missile wings would work great for a LAND SPEEDER TYPHOON using the Epic-40k LAND SPEEDER chassis:

http://www.reapermini.com/store....page=15

They are the wings off of the Reaper 07058: KODA Works Badger.

The product is called 007058b: Badger Sprue.

To see a full photo of the Reaper 07058: KODA Works Badger, use this link (It has a photo of a Badger with the missile wings extended):

http://www.reapermini.com/store....&page=1

Happy converting!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Legion-4,

Did you make your "carapace laser" flak tanks yet?

Shalom,

Not yet, I have not received them from Doug yet.

And I'm not sure which hull I want to use. Rhino, Predator or something else? ?

I'll have to see which hull they look "best" on...

I saw some of these Badgers at CONQUEST and they would work great for LAND SPEEDER TYPHOON conversions. I also though of possibly adding the canrds from the SM Thunderhawk to balance the missile launchers.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Has anybody made a Russ Executioner with the Plasma Gun? ?

I've seen the FW ones and don't like them too much; they are much smaller and not in scale with the E-50k era metal minis.

I was thinking of ripping a plasma barrel off a HW Ork or something and glueing it to a filed down Russ barrel. ?

Has anyone already done this? ???
