I am new to this site. This is in fact my first post.
I recently acquired this Leman Russ for next to nothing. It was assembled but in bad shape. All the guns were glued in place. No self-respecting IG player would use it. I am no self-respecting guard player. I converted it into a Death Skull Looted Wagon.
I was able to free one heavy bolter easily but the other one was more tricky. I cut off the side sponson and cut free the heavy bolter. It was caked in superglue which I scraped away. I also removed the lascannon on the front. I added a couple orks and an old night goblin which I gave a gun and wrench. I also used plastic card to create orky glyphs and paneling.

I cut off the tips of the heavy bolters and added shoota barrels to make the heavy bolters into big shootas. I also added a pennant on the back of the turret.

Finally I painted the tank red (of course) and added blue accents because after all it is a death skull looted tank.
