Tank Conversions

[Deleted]

Here are a couple tanks I made recently. First is the M117 Lancer:

And this one is the M25 Girzzly. I made two of them. As you can see, one has a standard battle cannon and one is set up as an exterminator. I'll make more turrets later so I can use two of either.

The Lancer is scratch built from random GW parts, plasticard, and card stock (the stuff GW boxes are made of). The Grizzlys are leman russ chassis with new track set ups made from plasticard. I had a template for the tracks, but it got lost when my family moved this summer. Thanks for the compliments!

These are some of my home-brewed conversions for my Armoured Company. My three Vanquishers, King, Kong and Kaylie; two of my Salamander Scouts (the third is identical to the other open topped one); the recce troop commander in a Conqueror; and my hard luck callsign, LowBlow, the Destroyer Tank Hunter.

They are all in various states of painting, but they're fun to break out to add spice and firepower to the battle.

These look awesome! I like how you're using bits and pieces at hand, like the barrels you used to make... barrels haha. If you look at some of the pictures in my gallery (see my signature thingy) I have a GW russ with an up armored turret and my own chimera turret design as well.

props to you colonel mcarthur for some really original looking chasis. you're quite the hand with the plasticard!

That's so weird, it only last night I started making my own vanqusher turret out of old barrels, Pens work good too, I've made a vanquisher battle cannon with a battel longer than the tank! might have to saw it down a bit........

[Rolling Thunder]

Easiest way to make a vanquisher turret (apparently, this is just randomised caffine induced hallucinations talking here) is to invest in a regular Russ and a demolisher. Build the demolisher, but keep the regular LRBT barrel. saw through the barrel at a point of your choice, glue it onto your regular Russ barrel and voila! You have a rather pointless 30pts+ tank.
