If you want to play a certain way be it tanks, mechanised infantry, artillery or flyers then that’s your limiting factor, rather than cost. Playstyle has gone out the window on this one. So I’ll aim for some variation to produce a legal and a fun list. But that won’t produce a legal, or fun, list. The simplest and most obvious way to go about this is to determine the cheapest unit per point and just take that unit as much as you can. Before I dive into this I should set out some aims and limitations. Never miss an article? Subscribe!

The Forgeworld mars versions are much better and concentrate on fixing these problem areas while maintaining the familiar silhouette of the leman russ tank.Īlso, a set of those russian style smoke launchers for my Sciuridae chimeras would be welcome. The short rear and turret are the largest downfalls of the leman russ design. Perhaps something were i can fit it over the existing leman russ rear, like your armored side skirts, or where i can cut off the rear with a bone saw and replace it with yours. Ditch one side of the exhaust pipes to give it an asymmetric look and i think you would have something much better. I would scrap the body, which is too curvaceous for a guard vehicle and concentrate on the rear engine deck extension you have there. However, i think a "total conversion" is the wrong way to go with this. I really appreciate the Russian aesthetic with the imperial guard you go after.

Is it a BMP-3 turret? I converted all my chimeras to the Sciuridae Infantry Fighting Vehicles for my death korps.
