The Imperial Guard Tread-head thread

[Necros]

Finally have something new to add Here's my new manticore for my army, the Stormguard. Wadaya think?

[lazy.sarge]

DROP must be the British version of PLS (Palletized Loading System), I take it? In the US, we use the HEMTT series of vehicle for PLS prime movers.

Yeah Demountable Rack Offload and Pickup System. Brits have MAN, us kiwis are still trying to sort out what we want

[old guard]

Only recently do we have the MAN fleet. the greater majority are medium mobility Leyland DAF chassis, and the high mobility Foden's which have HUGE wheels and are predominantly attached to Arty units for ammo resupply.

very nice manticore with a suitably worn look to it

[Vex]

That Manticore is exceptional! neat tow hooks on the back. Great colors and weathering.

[iPaint]

Mort's tanks are excellent. I just had to get some paint on this one asap. Still WIP.







I have two more that need to be assembled.

[Vex]

WIP? Pshaw! Looks great! Looks done.
Excellent.

[ice]

what is that tank? it look like a smaller macharius.

[Borsil]

That would be a Mortain HBT ---> http://www.heavy-support.com/

Really does look great!

[Penguin of Death]

Still very Wip, but the addition of Land Raider Tracks and Magnets make for a far more imposing and versatile Demolisher kit

[Xepher]

That does look more imposing, slap on a mars style hull and makes the LR look far more plausable. Nice kit bash penguin o' death

[Vaktathi]

I like the LR tracks, it looks much less flimsy and a lot more capable as a battle tank like that.

[Deamon-forge]

i love land raider tracks on a russ or even a Chimers (used FW chaos ones for a comand chimera) make it look a lot more meaner

[imcdonnell]

Griffon

Griffon crew...

[Putty]

1/3 of my manticores with magnetized storm eagle rockets. (i am too lazy to remember how many times i shoot them)

[Vex]

Since I wasn't going to ever build this:

I instead built this command track:



And updated this:

To a Salamander reconnaissance vehicle:



Now to paint...

[Putty]

the chain saws on the dozer blade had me in stitches!

[sovietred]

First finished Sciuridae - DreamClouds

[commissarbob]

Looks nice, it is a very clean conversion.

[SDKFZ]

@ sovietred: Conversion looks very nice !
Just love those rounded hatches and doors !
Not sure about that drivershatch though
Looks like it needs some rivets or something....

@ Vex: Nice 250/salamander Nice upgrade for that old Predator.

/ SDKFZ

[imcdonnell]

I have to agree with SDKFZ - I love the feel of the conversion - very nicely done - but not so keen on the drivers hatch / view port - sorry.

Great work on the casting too.
