Weird Speeder

Another new addition. This strange contraption will be used in my games of 10th edition 40k to count as a Storm Speeder Thunderstrike. I've no idea what the base model is- I got in a mixed lot several years ago. It's resin, a slightly rough cast, and someone has told me they recognise parts of the engines as coming from a Star Wars toy. I added the lastalon on the front from an old Bronekorpus russian tank kit, with a muzzle made from a kids' plastic paintbrush ferrule. The missile launcher is a part from a plastic terminator- sourced from another mixed lot. I added a hatch and pilot by sawing a 2nd ed plastic marine at about nipple level and sticking him to a round base.

The result is the sort of gloriously demented thing that used to be a more common sight on 40k tables before plastic vehicle kits and 3D printing. It's an odd shape for a marine vehicle, but I quite like it for that reason- it has a Rogue Trader feel to me.

 I don't remember what the base model for this kit bash was. I think it was some sort of metal pulp space pilot type character I got in ...
