Salamander or some kind artillery tractor/utility hauler/open bedded troop transport, like a chimera based centaur-type vehicle. Not sure what it would count-as though.

Armoured Might! The Temurian CXII project log
Sometimes I actually do stuff and occasionally even take pictures of the result.
Use it as a forward observer? AKA 'counts as griffon', 'counts as basilisk', 'counts as other artillery piece'.
How about a mobile workshop? Or a Trojan type support vehicle - maybe an open-topped one for use on a jungle/desert/stupidly hot climate world? Maybe a wrecker for towing disabled vehicles of Chimera size and smaller (similar to the Warrior based recovery vehicle the British army uses) Or some type of Engineering support vehicle - bridgelayer/cablelayer/excavator/trencher... Etc, etc...Originally Posted by CommanderSamirus

I'd go for the Salamander, it is the easiest to convert, infact you could probably get away without even doing anything to it at all and just mounting the right heavy/support weapon.
However an artillary tractor similar to trojan or atlas would be good for a little extra work.
Modular is the way to go! Salamander/Griffon/Hellhound/Basilisk/Medusa...
Barring that, I keep thinking that a high-tech command post would be a nice conversion, plus give you an objective to fight over. Something along the lines of an M577 variant.
noice work everyone
My IG and SM Project log:Mr Kibbles' Random log of Australian IG and Aboriginal SMs - now with finished Vaggu
My Stories so far:
The Garras War-A Story of Imperial Guardsmen and their trials in combat - now up to Chapter 4!
I'd make an artillery spotter with a place to mount a magnetized autocannon.
Forward observers and scouts would both carry around sensor equipment, so minimal alteration is needed. Just put a scope or radar dish in the cannon's place when using it as artillery.
I really like Daissmith leman russ turned out great good work!
"We are going to have to use the bodies of the 233rd as cover!" "But sir! Aren't we the 233rd?"
For every Guardsman in the world, there are fifty Space Marines. If you are one of the few and the proud - copy and paste this in to your signature.
Not Ig, but I put a sword on my Vindicator's gunner. Looks sort of like that "DRIVE ME CLOSER, I WANT TO HIT HIM WITH MY SWORD!" picture.
Well then post it!

That is one huge bike. Nice job.
Here's an ebay salvage, just stowage and newer mk H/Bolters really.
For my latest tank, I'm trying to make a Chimera version of the Brem 2 ARV.

Does anyone have an idea about the function of the open "box" thing on the back? I can't decide whether it's for crane controls, storage, or something else entirely, and the purpose determines what bits/minis I'll put there, so...
DangerousBrian: Great bike
Spaced: Paint it!
From what I have seen from photos and other models, that box is typically used for storage of spare fuel cans, packs, blankets, etc.
Thanks, that helps a lot
Back to work then
WIP - progress made.
I'm not sure which looks better:
Short barrel:
Long barrel:
Of course the ubiquitous Sentinal pilot as gunner:
I suppose the question is "what it it supposed to be?"
If it's meant to be a salamander scout, I'd say the long barrel.
Power Armour is for Wimps! Real men go into battle out of the back of a Valkyrie at 500 feet.
Renegades and Heretics Project Log. Last updated 16/3/08Getz for Lord Solar!
That is gorgeous.
I'm with Getz on the barrel, though I would love the shorter one, but something looks odd with the telescoping barrel.

Purely on aesthetics, I like the shorter barrel.
Hi,WIP - progress made.
Where did you get the wheels from?
The USS Orinoco (NCC-72905) is a Federation Danube-class runabout in service during the 24th century. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.
