Post subject:  Skitarii Chimedons proxy?

Hey.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am making a Skitarii force and am looking for Chimedons.
I know a chimedons is just a Chimera with a larger gun, but I want something that looks more... Admech-ish than just a chimera... a chimera with more armor, or whatever. Anyone know where to find anything good? I have a3d printer, so I am up for both stl files and physical minis.

Any help is appreciated!

really like them, HLS have the steel crown productions casts now, so i don't think they are in full supply, but some really nice proxies there.

mine;

It's a shame Vanguard don't yet sell a proxy for the Skorpius Dunerider (the hover transport the Skitarii use in modern 40k) as this could make a good model to use for one.

Vanguard have released a great looking Admech Gorgon proxy and a couple of mainly 30k era Admech tanks but that are a bit big and tough to be a Chimera proxy. I asked Vanguard before and they said they might make a small 10 man size transport eventually. If more of us ask them for it he might be more likely to do so and sooner?

One of the most clever kitbashes I've seen was to take a chimera chassis and then a leman russ conqueror turret. I believe Khan did one here using some forumware tanks but should work fine with any official and printed stuff just as easily.

Like a similar but much smaller version of that? The tank you link to is a bit large for a Chimera at 6.5cm long?

It's a great looking model but think it would be more suitable for the Epic UK Admech Gorgon (or the transport Minoris with Corvus that is the equivalent in the Net-EA Skitarii list).

Well, the Vanguard Warrior II with Light Cannon is a Chimedon for all intents, but it's built on the Warrior II/Chimera chassis, so doesn't meet the OPs "not a chimera chassis" stipulation.

Thanks for the help.
I'm a bit unsure of what to choose. I actually both like the HLS Exodus models, especially due to their low profile, which fits well with my heavy tanks, but I also really like the Vanguard Warriors II... They look enough Admech-ish to different heavily from my normal chimeras for my IG army. Vanguard also got a flak version which is something I'm going to need.
I will be waiting a bit though. Brexit makes it expensive to "just" buy a few models, so I will wait til I got a bulk to order :D

I used these for mine, left off the dozer blades and was happy with the result.
No confusion from any opponents as they are sufficiently different from other chassis on the table.

You've actually inspired me to do a little kitbashing in tinkercad. Just need to put some finishing touches on them and they'll be ready to rock
