Count as Eldar Vyper

[imp]

I've built two of these count as Vypers. What do you think?

nice job mate. i actually prefer these to the real vypers. are you going to make more magnetised weapons for them?

[Beta_Ray_Bill]

When I saw these, I was speechless for a moment. THAT'S creativity! I love conversions and I love these things!

thats one slick model there
and a grat idea for using a turret I feel is oversized for the Prism I like alot

[Porty1119]

what the-
DOUBLE TAKE!!!
Those are hands-down AWESOME!!!! Looks like a mini Nightwing or something cool like that! Assuming it's a Prism turret, guns and plasticard grilles?

I'm not usually a fan of kit-bashed Eldar vehicles, but these look great! You did a great job keeping their aesthetic but coming up with something new.

Great work. Can't wait to see it painted!

Tutorial please! With a little alteration, this might be a great way to make a count-as Venom transport for the Dark Eldar until an actual model comes out (if it comes out... I hope it doesn't go the way of the Tervigon)

Very nice. Always thought the turret would make a nice mini tank by itself

Thanks :)


... are you going to make more magnetised weapons for them?

Yes, when I feel the need.

It’s actually really easy. I don’t have pictures of the building process, but I hope this will suffice.

-Assemble the top and bottom of the Fire Prism Turret.
-Assemble the bottom of a Vyper, ignore the part with the seat, and cut the wings of.
-You need to cut some of the ribbes (the parts meant to be cooling ducts on an engine), if you want the bottom to be flat. You’ll get a bulkier appearance if you don’t.
-Use green stuff (or similar) to fuse the part together.
-More GS to make the joint look better.
-The grilles are made from the night spinner turret parts, with the bulbous parts cut off, and plasticcard (1mm thick, 1/25”), and some GS.
-The weapon mount is made from the part that goes around the gunner, the one with the normal weapon mount on, and the gunner seat. And GS.
-The shuricen catapult is also magnetized.


…Can't wait to see it painted!

Halfway done, it’s supposed to be in a tournament in November…

Those are fantastic!

The only possible criticism would be that Vypers are open-topped, and your conversions aren't.

But hey, those things freakin' rock.

Well done!

Well, they’re probably made from very thin glass and tin foile :D

[fuzzbuket]

cool :D

[Night System]

WOW!!!! they look amazing, totally alien, and MUCH prefered to the regular vypers.

[rbryce]

Dude! those look like proper(aka NOT stephen Spielberg) martian craft from war of the worlds, and i heartily approve, you should do a diarama of one with a mexican-american, priest and labourer being vapourised with DEW-NEW-DEW-NEW!!! sounds coming from the base.

[falcon]

I love this idea!!! These are really awesome!!!!

[Firebird]

Amazing simply amazing...can you go into detail how you made them? I kinda want some of my own :P

[2ORE2]

Those are sweet! The backs remind me of Alien or Predator for some reason. Would love to see one painted!
