I hope I didn't offend you with my earlier comment. I think the model is fantastic, and with as many models as PP has produced, anything that we scratchbuild or convert is going to have some elements of preexisting models. Don't change the model because of what I said, it's too cool as is!

No worries at all. I did add some structure to the model, making it look less like a frail Storm Strider (not a Cygnar fan). It looks a bit more like a vehicle now, and is more heavily built than a "disk on legs". It has a:
+ Moving mini-platform for getting the munition up to the gun + Improved smoke stacks + A rear bumper, from an excised Gun Carriage bit + Some undercarriage created from Earthbreaker bits
The net effect is to make it look more fleshed-out and less tall. The actual height of the main platform will have to remain, mostly due to the limitations of the base diameter (i.e. re-positioning the legs widely enough would require a very large base, making it unplayable).
I'll post more when fully painted!

Also, the tri-cone Driller is getting some attention. Family shot...

I'm digging the tri-drill model! The tri-drill looks much heavier than than the standard screw. So the lean that he has while running really fits well.

Thanks, man! I appreciate the support. (The PP Painting Forum, despite contentions of a moderator over there, are slowed and demotivating; clearly impacted by PP's abandonment of other large swaths of the greater Forums.)
Anyway... The models above are all nearly complete. The Rhulic "Kayazy Eliminators" are still underway, with loose plans for other dwarfish-converted merc solos and units on the horizon.

I have to say I love the tinker conversion. The one with the not wooden cart. He looks so... stressed. Like he has the worst job on the worst day. It looks great.

Very very nice. I particulary like your metals, they seem very credible!

Thanks, guys. There's plenty of painting touch-ups and a few detail bits to add yet but I'm pleased so far. One thing I'll add are mortar shells made from ball point pen tips (details in the March of the Rhulfolk thread on the PP Painting forum). I'll add them to the HAC trooper bases and magnetize 1-2 on the loader platform of the Walker.

After much RL interference, I got back to modding and painting by adding four grunts to my small unit of Forge Guard. Two are ladies from the Horgenhold artillery corps - with added shoulder pads using bits cut from a ball point pen. Still some cleanup work to be done but I wanted to share.

Thanks, guys. The original six man min. unit had a minor conversion where all hammers were held upright at attention. I've lost that after maxing the unit but I *really wanted to add the badass Horgenhold girls. Plus now I have the option to try double max Forgeguard / double Crawlers. #recursion
