Octopod APC's

Hello,
here we have 3 primed APC's for my Octopod soldiers from 15mmUK. I have another 3 waiting on their legs in the mail.
very simple conversion...each apc consists of 1 starwars cmg viper droid body, and 1 set of legs from a robogear spider walker.
I think I got 6 of the vipers from troll and toad a while back for very cheap(maybe 1-2 $ each), and I have had the robogear kits for a long time. just had to buy 3 more at 8$ each.
The main thing that made me use these for the octopods was the simple fact that the vehicle has tentacles hanging from it's
"face". It is a large imposing APC for 15mm, but I envision it hauling an oversized squad of 20 octos, or 12 and some type of support.
legs will be steel...tentacles steelbody-olive drab with an as yet undetermined camo pattern.
oh and pay no attention to that large Zaku skulking in the background....another project

squid horde

here is my squid horde; 180 octopods with attitude ready to defend their homeworld.
these are by 15mmuk. and were painted by my friend Jason-TMP/SAXON DOG.
I realize not much detail can be seen and will provide detail shots in a later post.
This was just to show off what an amazing site they are in mass.a very intimidating horde
to be sure. While I would not rate them as the best sculpting ever, they really do grow on you and look great painted up.
and the sheer joy of not having to paint 180 orange jumpsuits is a good feeling to relish. I'm sure saxon dog is still seeing orange when he closes his eyes.
