Did a little conversion work on a stalker.

Excellent work - raises the weapon much higher than the original kit for excellent LOS!

Which is known as "modelling for advantage."

I added guns. It looked plain to me before.

Or as I like to call it "oh **** I put the chassis on upside down and now the weapon mount is on the wrong side so I have to convert out of necessity or throw out an otherwise perfectly good model and waste hard earned money which will incure the wrath of my wife."

Keep in mind that when you say the quote it has to be said fast and in one breath.

Don't worry bout it chris, if anyone ever makes an issue of it then just agree to measure LOS from where the weapon would normally be mounted. Other than that looks pretty cool.

I like the idea that it is a giant, spiderlike necron, rather than a robot riding in a bigger robot.

I am desperately trying to not let my natural hatred of Stalkers colour my opinion of this model :P

I... l-l-like... it. Phew, that was hard work. I'd say more but the rage is consuming me!

Lol thanks. I'm glad we made a breakthrough in your anger management classes today!

I should clarify, Chris: I actually like your model. It was just Maelstorm praising it on the merits of its in-game bonuses that triggered the Black Rage.

I understand the argument, but any advantage to raising up the body like that is counteracted by making it more difficult to obscure the vehicle. Modelling for advantage usually takes something more ridiculous, like putting a weapon on a stick so it can fire and also be completely hidden.

P.S. - I like the conversion. Makes it match somewhat with the destroyer silhouette but with a walker body.
