I've recently added a medical section and recce element to the Swamp Tigers. Also for scenario purposes only (far too overpowered to be part of a standing force in our scale of games) I've added a Rhino APC for the guardsmen. The Sentinel was converted by our very own Dieselmonkey and normally alrering a classic sculpt would have me in a fit but i genuinly think his conversion is far better than the original format so i dint try and retrofit it.
In contrast the Rhino was made out of three utterly destroyed kits, i managed to salvage enough parts to make one 'runner' out of the three (which is pretty much how i imagine the 'tigers' manage their vehicles on long campaigns).
Oh and the sentinel is such a light vehichle i thought it prudent to make a 'dismounted and mounted' crewman set.
Here we go then...
Medical section
Light AT Operator
"Raptor" Company Recce
APC
Great stuff mate.
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of those heavy weapons guys and I agree the Sentinel looks better converted.
The medic section looks to me like the medic's having a conversation with a medi-vac ship nearby, saying something like "no hurry, I'm pretty sure he's dead..." :-)
With the old medic i could never tell if he was using a communicator, tearing open a field dressing or eating a sanfwich.
ReplyDeleteI've seen him painted up to be doing all three in the past and it looked most convincing as a sandwich tbh...
I painted it as a dressing he's tearing the wrapping off.
Well done on salvaging the Rhino.
ReplyDeleteAs for disfiguring older models - I have no problem with it UNLESS you're introducing pieces from a newer generation of 40K. Then it just looks awful.
