First Update

This build has been a breath of fresh air, kit bashing amongst so much scratch building always is. This has gone together in about two days, and there are places where it looks a little rough because of it, but I was keen to test out the concept and see if I could figure out how to get it assembled. Turned out to be a right sod too.

So as it turns out, the rhino chassis and the chimera chassis weren't designed to be interchangeable. Who knew? Much hacksawing and swearing later I managed to get the two to mesh. I'd still like the chimera hull to sit higher, but it was starting to look a little odd down below.

Was tempted to make this either my command transport or my techpriest's transport, but decided to go for a bog standard approach first. Should inspire me to get the second one done that way.

Current plan is to finish off the details, patch up the holes from left and rear where the hull doesn't meet the tracks, then get it primered tomorrow, weather permitting.

One thing I do like is the use of the rhino hatches. The split hatch works really well with the rhino doors on the sides, and hopefully works to tie it all together. Least that's the plan.
