First post : 39M Csaba

My first post here is about a custom built armoured car, based on the 39M Csaba, an armoured scout car produced for the Royal Hungarian Army during World War II.

One of my HQ choices, a Lord Commissar needed a transport wehicle. I wanted some speical transport for him. There is a wide range of these. The Rhino transport for Space Marines in blue colour brings the feeling of the game: Final Liberation. But it is not a choice in the Imperial Guard Codex. The Centaur artillery tractor from Forgeworld is an other choice. It is small, fast, and cool. In fact, it gave me the idea of a custom vehicle: an open topped, fast, armoured car with hungarian roots.

I used the wehicle design rules, published in book: Chapter Approved. I tried to give it similar weapons, as the original has, that was the reason of the less powerful choices. The final datafax:

The wehicle is made of yellow cardboard, original weapons, and tank stuff. I have used some plasticine too. The result:







Soon it will be painted...
