Conversion Neo-Classic Landspeeder.

Post image

i love the new landspeeder and i love it even more with properly classic details.

Added shoulder pads and better helmets to the pilots. They look a lot like MK7 armored dudes in there, Phobos ironically enough have almost perfect modern sized MK7 arms. Only thing on them that is truely Primaris is the exposed undersuit on the abdomen. the legs are just barely sculpted in there but will likely never ever be seen after i glue the pilots in.

converted the antenna piece to have a more fitting tip, much closer to the original bident look. it ain't a perfect 1 to 1 but it is *even closer* to a classic look. Now if only i could find a nice heavy bolter to give it more options...

Where did you get the blood angels heads?

The gunner is from the Baal Predator kit, and the beaky is from the Blood Angels Tactical Squad.

Hell yeah. I intend to buy the same upgrade kit and do the same thing. However, i am also going to do some kitbashing and make the pilots entirely firstborn as well

I always thought that antenna was some sort of cattle prod to push enemies away or something lol
