Looted Leman Russ Stygies VIII

A quick exampination proved to Big Mek Gooba it was salvagable, and fine addition to the Konviktz Armored Krumpany. In order to field it at the 2005 orkfest though, he could only devote a couple of hours. This is a quick conversion, we'll revisit it later on.

so 'ere we go!

	Here it is in it's original form.
	Step one in the orkization process was the addition of a Gob. Everyone love Gobz, and they make any vehicle instantly orky.
	Reinforced rivited ribbing was added to the Gob.
	Other small patches, such as this rivited plate, were applied right on top of the existing hatch.
	On the other side, the rear drive was repaired, and the side armor patched.
	The weedy exhausts were cut off and some more propa ones added.
	I also ripped off the rear box cover.
	And applied a rivited one.
	I saved the cover though, and pried off the drivers hatch on the front.
	And using this piece
	carefully drilled out the center of the laurels, added some mesh to the back, and voila, a new driver's view port.
	I pulled off the weedy Forgeworld Hatches.
	And used a hatch from a 2nd edition ork dreadnought. It fits perfect, and I decided to go with the early t-34 look of the reversed hatch.
	In order to continue beefing up the exhausts, they were wrapped in heat shielding.
	With some extra gubbinz and glyphs. Now I'm thinkin' of putting the hatch in the down position...
	We'll skip ahead to the paint portion...here the base colors are down, but it still needs some fine tuning.
