got a conversion project in mind and I need the following bits:

prefer unpainted/unassembled but can work with most things

8x plastic sentinel legs (8 sets of two legs) feet must be undamaged!
8x plastic vibrocannon
6x metal sentinels (closed top version only)
6x plastic mole mortars
6x plastic battlewagon turrets, twin cannon variety only

have a few bits in trade, but mostly ££

can anyone help?

I definitely have some mole mortars, and likely have the sentinel legs and vibrocannons. I'll look, let me know if you don't find anyone local.

Have you seen the vanguard cybershaddow gun crabs? Might save some work...

On another note - is every player in epicuk building a knight army at the moment ? ;-)

I can't speak for anyone else but my next project is definitely going to be knights

Fair enough. I haven't seen them next to any vehicles so didn't know the scale. I really like them, but now even more confused what to use them as...

I think at least 6 people at the GT were talking about knights as their next army (inc myself). Of course talk is talk (but planning to get good at playing against knights just in case! :-))

I'm planning a kind of Admech catch-all army that covers AMTL, Skitarii, Knights, Krieg and siegemasters, but initially the focus will be on the knights bit :)

and scale wise, these dudes are a 2-man vehicle, a perfect admech-style light tank :)

The guncrab isn't that big height about 18mm it would make a great two man walking tank. I believe it was originally design to fit such a roll.

Ha! Im likewise trying to work out what to do with my small but growing collection of odds and sods, all painted red, which i started about 5 years ago. Skitarii was the original plan but don't seem all that fun. Knights, iron warriors (defiler heavy) or perhaps even emperor's children (daemon knights) are my current best "counts as" choices - but none quite allow me to use all my preferred proxies (inc the gun crab) in one army. Interested to see what you come up with.

I'll stop derailing your thread now! :-)
