I
bought a Leman Russ kit yesterday, for two reasons. The first was
because there are a couple of picture in the Astra Militarum Codex
where the tank commander seems to have a left-handed laspistol, which
I need because of a conversion I'm planning. As it turns out this
component is a conversion and therefore does not exist. Oh well, Plan
B is still viable.
Plan
B, the way I managed to con myself into spending £31 on a big kit
for a single component that doesn't exist, is to make a Looted Wagon
for my Orks.
I
love the idea of Looted Wagons, mainly because I remember the days
when not everything in a Codex would have a model. That those days
are gone is unequivocally a good thing but I do sort of miss it
nonetheless., especially since I'm planning a Renegades &
Heretics army so I need to get back into converting again. AS Looted
Wagon is the perfect project to get back on the horse with.
What's
great is it doesn't even have to look halfways sensible. I can come
up with any insane, over-busy creation and it will look perfectly in
character. I can reeeeealy go to town on this.
So
far I have the Leman Russ plus spare parts from the Meganobs, Mek
Gunz and Killa Kans kits. That's a lot of gubbins I can strap to the
Russ' chassis. I also, since you only need two to operate a Mek Gun,
have some spare Gretchin I didn't make for the second Zzap Gun who
can be clambering over the thing keeping it running.
This
is going to be fun.
