I took a new LR, shaved the sponson pins off, took the grabby claws from
the battlewagon sprue, cut them so they are mounted on the front side if
the tracks vertically, then I added spikey ram bars to the front, a little
ork commander sitting in the hatch, and for the shooty bits I added a
scorcher turret from a great gargant, and put a little spikey bit on top.
Finally I added two banner poles in the exhaust pipes, and painted it up
deathskulls colours. I think it looks awesome, if anyone is interested
I'll scan some sketches. It took about 1.5 hours and I wouldn't recommend
it to inexperienced converters, because it was really fiddly.
