I was tempted to do some thread necromancy and bring a thread I started over a year and a bit ago back to life, asking for alternative ideas for making hunters out of whirlwinds but figured it'd be better to start fresh.. I had a quick mess about at the time with a whirlwind chassis, the box mag from a terminator storm bolter and a chunk of plasticard tube but too lazy to ever get around to making them and instead perpetually using unmodified whirlwinds as 'counts as'... with FSA round the corner and with the subject of proxies cropping up in the EA sub-forum, I figured it was about time I tackled the hunter shaped hole in my army and gave them a suitable proxy..
ended up with... *drum roll*... two of these!
Just chopped a set of the whirlwind missiles from their stalks, making sure to cut at a slight angle and/or angle what was left of the stump.. then the circular lump beneath them is simply what was left of an old mk6 space marine after I'd removed said space marine
(i.e. just a standard base)
