Well, I have tried to think about this from the very start all over again. For example, will a WarHound with four legs look too Tyranid? (Kind of At-At.) Would this work? I think that sticking to two would be best. That being said, there are basically two types of bipedal legs that I have in mind, sprinters - which are like human legs with a high knee joint - and horse - which are reversed so that the knee bends the other way and is more like the new mini. I like the 'horse' leg joints, but I would put a segmented set of toes on the feet, but now it is starting to sound like a Revenant.
For the rest, at one point I considered using the prow of an Imperial Gothic cruiser, back to back, but I think that this would not look good. I did think of having the cockpit as an observation bubble on the top, instead of under-slung. So far, these are just thoughts, and I will concentrate on getting the legs sorted out. Anyone have any good ideas and references for possible leg sets?
I picked up an old, original Warhoud over the weekend, and was surprised by just how small the mini was, I wil lhave to be careful.
In general, I will go with the smallest minis with two weapons are Warhound, medium with three are Reavers (maybe a couple with two weapons) and largest with four are Warlords. I wont use anything larger than a Warlord. I was also thinking of a dark green colour scheme, with industrial yellow and black details, or white heraldry.
