HARVESTER


By:Chris Cook
One of the coolest conversions ever


Parts: One Raider, one Ravager, two Eldar Vypers, one Falcon grav-tank, additional parts from bits box.
Notes: The largest conversion I have ever done. Based heavily on Tony Cottrell's Shadow conversion featured in White Dwarf, with instructions in Citadel Journal #33. The two Raider main hulls (one from the Ravager box) were assembled, with the pilot seats cut out, leaving the tail, and with the hand-rails and prows removed. The hulls were glued together base-to-base, with the tails facing sideways like wings. The air intakes from the prow bases were cut off and glued into place to cover the holes in the front of the hulls. One Raider running board piece (the flat panels at the side of the vehicle for Warriors to ride on) was glued upside down protruding from below the front of the hulls. One prow was glued together with its two halves base-to-base, then attached to the front of the upside-down running boards. The scatter laser was glued in the gap between the prow halves to fill space. The main hull of the Falcon, with its forward-swept prow removed, was glued upside-down to the back of the hulls, with its 'lower' half attached on top of it, and two Raider blades attached in front of the heat vents on either side. The lower rear hull of a Vyper was glued upside-down in front of the Falcon hull, covering the space between the Raider hulls. One Dark Eldar crewmember was glued in as pilot with his seat directly in front of the Vyper hull, his control panel attached to a Raider blade glued behind the Harvester's prow, two of the Raider handrails on either side of him. On top of the Falcon hull the bottom half of the Falcon turret was glued, upside down. The two halves of the other Raider prow were glued to the sides of the turret piece, and one of the Raider prow bases was glued in front of it. The 'cockpit' piece from the Falcon was glued into the turret, with a Warrior replacing the Guardian crewman as gunner. The particle cannon was made from the two Falcon probes, the end of one cut off and attached to the other. One of the Raider rams was also attached to the top of the 'barrel' of the weapon. One Raider tail cross-piece was cut in half and attached on either side of the Raider hulls, with the Ravager armour plates above them on either side of the Vyper hull. The other tail was also cut in half, and attached to the sides of the particle cannon gunner's cockpit, with a Raider blade attached behind him pointing up. The two spike-shaped raider rams were attached just behind the prow halves on either side of the gunner, facing backwards directly above the Falcon's main engines. The two Falcon 'prows' cut from the main hull were glued facing backwards, between the Falcon's engines, with the remaining Raider ram between them. The second running board piece from the Raider was cut in half, and attached like a pair of wings just below the Falcon engines, providing two arms to which the Vyper guncradles were attached. Warrior torsos and head were used with Vyper gunner legs and arms, and the splinter cannon barrels were replaced by pulse laser barrels with Raider blades attached. The extra pulse laser was provided by a friend, who had the part left over from a Fire Prism, which uses the Falcon vehicle but not the turret weapons. A final note about this conversion - the vast majority of it is the result of improvisation during construction, so no instructions will really be adequate to explain how it was built. To anyone considering such a massive project, I recommend working in a similar loosely-defined fashion, as such a monstrous vehicle should be unique.
