Personally, I'd slap the heavy flamer back on. While you might not use it, if the enemy ever DOES reach your lines, all your tanks suddenly 'counter-assault' with heavy flamers, and assaulty armies just cry.<br /><br />Those two bits aside, though, it's a fine conversion and a very nice paint job.Raptor1313https://www.blogger.com/profile/16909802419382710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-54685924362272749702009-08-04T18:50:05.078+01:002009-08-04T18:50:05.078+01:00Looks great, much better than the forward mounted ...Looks great, much better than the forward mounted hydra I saw a few days back.
