Vehicles of the Priory

Many of the vehicles available to the Celestine Monks are no longer for sale, or the original models have too many Adepta Sororitas logos, or the models just look terrible, or all of the above. Due to this, I have made custom conversions of various 40k vehicles to outfit my priory's motor pool.

Converted Repressor:



Unfortunately I do not have any other work in progress photos for this model, but a good deal of work went into this one. I bought the wheeled conversion kit from Chapter House Studios, which included the wheels, new sides, and the front bumper bar. The kit did not fit well onto the Chimera body and needed a significant amount of cutting and green stuffing to make it work. I also had to fill in some holes and heat the sides to fix some moderate warping due to the resin casting process. I had a Forge World Inquisition Chimera back ramp that I also put on, that needed about the same amount of work to fit to the body as the sides did. I cut out the round gun swivels, filled the holes with greenstuff backed by some old sprue material. I then took the internal frames meant to hold the little turret lasguns and cut it into sections to use as the rectangular gun hatches on the sides. Three grey knight tilt shields are magnetized onto the frame to act as hull point counters: remove one for every point of damage dealt (and yes I know it only really needed two, as the third would destroy it, but I like the look of three). The tilt shield system is used on every vehicle in my army, including the Custom Avenger Strike Fighter. The main gun and the front bolter shown in this photo were magnetized on back when this vehicle was meant to be an Inquisitorial Chimera, but the finished Repressor has a heavy flamer on the turret and removable hunter-killer missile on the front. The side not pictured has a brass Inquisitorial Sword insignia running along the hull to break up the large flat surface on that side.
