There's this one:

Long Half Track is Long

And this incomplete one:

I like those! Are they yours?

GamesPoet · « **Reply #127 on:** February 12, 2010, 05:13:33 PM »

Cool conversions!

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #128 on:** February 12, 2010, 06:01:15 PM »

No, I was doing my daily looking at WW2 German Half Tracks (love them) and thought about modding a chimera to be like one, and so googled 40k chimera half track.

This is why I love Guard.

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #131 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:02:06 PM »

I love that big bad assault gunlooking Basilisk!
Still, I would rather go and buy a proper Jagdpanther kit and beef up the gun with some tube instead of doing all that fiddle just to only use GW parts that will get way more expensive.

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #132 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:49:07 PM »

Then do that.

That half track is a beauty. Playing too much Red Orchestra and Company of Heroes lately, go Kampfgruppe Lehr!

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #133 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:56:32 PM »

The Panzer Lehr kicked some serious butt in Normandy.

Regardless of my usual preferences, that first Chimera halftrack conversion gave me some ideas for converting my old Chimera into a proper ork battlewagon.

McKnight · « **Reply #134 on:** February 12, 2010, 10:16:11 PM »

Do people still play Red Orchestra, Mr D? Last time i checked there was only 10 or so severs.

Maybe we should hook up sometime.
Oh and whats your user in COH?

And you you do that Mathi ':p .. But its a valid point. But I think he did it for the conversion. It just isnt the same when buying a ww2 thing and using it, instead of creating the conversion yourself.

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #135 on:** February 12, 2010, 10:48:44 PM »

It's a shame that Half Track kits cost almost as much as a chimera. I need four of them for the WW2 game I'm writing!

McKnight, my steam ID is MrWhitey (I appear as MrWhitey [O.C. Reg]. I only got Red Orchestra recently, though I used to play it when it was "just" a mod. I've found it to still be played quite a bit, I frequent a pair of EU servers which during the afternoon/night time are often full with 50 players each. I have found the game to be lacking in vehicles though.

That and unless you're first on the server, literally, you wont get a chance to drive a panzer. Not that I want to -too much- considering I've driven the Half Track and good lord... The visibility...

Firing the mounted MG is just as hard as driving.

And I can't remember my CoH one, either SSWaffenWaffle or a variation on MrWhitey.

So far my experience with the Panzer Elite is 2 skirmish games and a 2v2 against computers with a friend playing the standard Wehrmacht. My cries of "I'm going tank destroyer, I can't build defences!" often fell on deaf ears.

Damn! This tread almost deserve a song.

Yes I know songs do you hear them?

Nice German Panzers.

Added you^^
Do you play CoH via steam as well?.
I saw some tank servers on RO some time ago but yea you had to be lucky, but its really a cool game. Its just so much more fun if your team is your friendsor clan, so you can actually put down a battleplan.

Panzer elite are cool but i still prefer werhmacht, but thats just because i havent mastered them yet.

I like that. Not keen on the thing next to it with a large fixed gun though.

McKnight · « **Reply #141 on:** February 13, 2010, 11:27:47 AM »

How can you NOT like it? Its a Jagdpanther conversion!

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #142 on:** February 13, 2010, 11:30:59 AM »

It looks like a stupid design to me. Which probably means it's based on a real one, or something. I don't know anything about tanks.

Mathi Alfblut · « **Reply #143 on:** February 13, 2010, 11:33:15 AM »

Rufus don´t like tank destroyers, maybe?

I bet he prefers everything styled as british Churchill tanks or similar. Nothing wrong with that, I love Churchills, but when Rufus do not like it, he is ready to spill his gall about it and accuse others for having poor taste.

So real designs are stupid? I can´t see how they are stupid when obviously non-working GW designs seems to be working designs in your eyes Rufus. You may be trying to joke, but I think it is easier still to assume that you say exactly what you mean all the time.

Oh, give it a rest. Stop projecting weird opinions onto everyone.

None of your post makes any sense or has anything to do with what I said!

On the contrary, your posts are quite similar in content.

Hahhaha

I love you, Slord

Now Rufus, instead of doing like mathi and rambling nonsense, im going to enlighten you a little.
The jagdpanther was a large tank hunter which used ambush tactics. It had a 25 degrees line of fire without moving the tracks so could still move the gun alittle. It had a large gun so could also should further than, say shermans.
Also a tank turret was time consuming and expensive to produce. So they where cheaper to manufacture.

I like that British tank destroyer where they'd put the gun facing backwards so they could hide in a bush and drive straight off in the opposite direction of the enemy after the first shot.

Fair enough, but I still don't like the way it looks. Which is all I was saying anyway. As I may or may not have said, I'm not interested in tanks.
