Empire Steam Cruiser - preparations

Another project for WFB in preparation; this time a warmachine for Empire. Being little disappointed by (hefty)price-to-(puny)size ratio of new Steam Tank model, I bought a bunch of necessary bits and started Project Steam-Cruiser ;-).
The list is not yet complete, but I already went back and forth over my ideas and know what I need.
So, pray to Sigmar for some free time for me...

Inquisitorial Rhino and more

Not exactly what I've promised in one of the previous posts, but maybe nice ideas.
How to make interesting Rhino for your O. Malleus or O. Xenos Inquisitor? Just put a turret on it! Below is my first attempt to make such vehicle.

Not bad, IMO.

Blogger rotated next photo for unknown reason...


The turret can be shifted to the back, if you want alternative approach, but the result is much worse...


If it works for Rhino, so what about good old Leman Russ tank?


This needs more converting, maybe some passenger compartment at the back? But what this will be?My collection reaches four pieces which gives me many options to mix Rhinos, Chimeras, Baneblades (sponson turrets)... What to choose?

Kroot Heavy Support for sale (I want this!)

I decided to advertise this auction not having any personal profit, as it is quite special thing for sale. Such occasions are these sparse moments when I regret not living in USA :-)

Static firespots for Planetstrike

This is size comparison of GW turret base (coming with Imperial Bastion set) with a turret base produced by Old Crow Models:

GW product you have as a bonus stuff "for free". The other one cost much more (but will not make a hole in your pocket) but is also bigger and more sophisticated.
This is how do they look with their respective turrets (sold separately in case of Old Crow):

That's all, I'm sure both will find some proper use.
