The Storm is coming...

A few days ago I received a parcel from Forgeworld. Project Storm Chimera was about to begin!

The Storm Chimera is a minor Chimera variant used by the regiments of the Death Korps of Krieg. The preferred combat doctrine of the Death Korps holds that either its troops not be reliant on mechanised transports or that its regiments utilise much larger and heavier transports such as the Gorgon for heavy assaults. As such, the Chimera sees limited use in the Death Korps of Krieg and most commonly as the Storm Chimera variant. This configuration is issued to specilised frontline assault units and is simply an up-armoured standard Chimera with extensive ablative armour plating to increase its endurance. The Storm Chimera is also always armed with a turret-mounted Autocannon in place of the standard Multi-Laser,  for both its increase in firepower and its ease in munitions resupply.

Project plan

Justification
The need for a rapid deployment all-terrain vehicle that can provide firepower support to the advancing units.

Step 1. Gather required parts
Chimera Autocannon Turret
Chimera Armoured Skirts
Chimera Track Guards

Step 2. Assembly
I wanted to have all options of this Chimera variant so magnets was the only way.
So, until now, I have magnetized the dozer blade, the hunter-killer missile and both heavy flamer and heavy bolter.

The most challenging part was the hunter-killer missile, where I used a piece of sprue to create a base for the missile.

In the next few days I will also magnetize the Armoured Skirts.

The progress so far:

Step 3. Painting
