Keep everything from the pelvis down on the walker, Hack the back off just behind the cockpit on the skimmer, build up the passenger side with a weapon mount inside there, and attach to the walker legs so the cockpit is centered over top of the legs. Use some of the bars around the pilot. The walker engine could be attached like normal at the back. You could even carve out one of the engine thrusters so it would attach on the bottom to the walker "ball" attachment at the pelvis. With a little creativity it could be similar to the old walker but a little more angry looking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160047477056987302.post-57812165795422896892010-01-28T14:25:22.973-09:002010-01-28T14:25:22.973-09:00I did consider using a basic guardsman though that...I did consider using a basic guardsman though that was more to do with the arms. However when I realised I couldn't realistically position the arms like the power loader (movement would leave the controls out of reach) I went with the sentinal pilot.Gingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155099423475435032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160047477056987302.post-20507126348895118272010-01-26T08:06:12.536-09:002010-01-26T08:06:12.536-09:00@Ginge

Perhaps ill do something similar but instead ill chop the cab going downward and use a pair of standing guard legs instead of the sitting pilot legs. <br /><br />now if my darn hobby store would hurry up and get a sentinel restocked i could get started....08ak1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05078650389026630997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160047477056987302.post-78577315492725344362010-01-26T06:09:49.714-09:002010-01-26T06:09:49.714-09:00I don't mean to self publicise but I've ju...I don't mean to self publicise but I've just completed this http://needmoretanks.blogspot.com/2010/01/get-away-from-her-you-nid.html<br /><br />I thought as you were looking for ideas for an open cab you might like how I'd done mine. The frame is the basic frame roof of a sentinal, with a little chopping and changing.<br /><br />I'd also like to thank your friend Warhammer 39,999 for the links he posted. I'm doing a small Aliens theme combat patrol force, and the link he provided showed me some cool ideas (plus an awesome miniatures website I hadn't previously heard of!) Though I have to say I think the walker looks more like something from Avatar than Aliens. That isn't a bad thing though...<br /><br />Good luck with your project, I eagerly await seeing your progress :oDGingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155099423475435032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160047477056987302.post-77097212465279853442010-01-23T15:12:44.302-09:002010-01-23T15:12:44.302-09:00thanks folks those are some good ideas!

I believe that is also made from a lot of none GW bits so we'll see.08ak1https://www.blogger.com/profile/05078650389026630997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2160047477056987302.post-39959785724247261712010-01-22T19:22:20.965-09:002010-01-22T19:22:20.965-09:00Check these out for another alternative:

The plastic deathkoptas from AoBR are dirt cheap online, and are about the right size for sentinels--they'd take a bit of love to fit in properly with your army, but it sounds like you're willing to commit some time. If done right, they could lend a ton of character to your force.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
