I have a fully assembly, stuck together and painted Leman Russ... but I would like to convert it so it represents a tank commander
I am looking for suggestions as currently I am a bit stuck how to do this... so if anyone could fire some ideas my way it would be most appriceiated!
My current potential ideas are:
1) I could do a reasonably neat job of cutting the turret apart and shoving in an officer-looking guy... but want to avoid that where possible in case I ruin a perfectly good turret.
2) Buy a full new turret... but he bitz suppliers I would normally use do not have any turrets in stock
3) Buy something from forge world... but I don’t like how the Forge World resin Russ turrets fit on to the chassis (unless they have changed recently)
Which kind of leaves:
Getting a suitably officer looking model, and have him standing on somewhere on the tank...
This is my fall-back plan; and I will try and make him look like he wants to be driven forward so he can hit someone with his sword (only issue is finding some spare guard legs :-( )
[also, since I like to have all my stuff usable at Warhammer World events, I have asked them if they would accept a flag or big-vox/com array instead.]
