WH40K: Maxmini Siege Guns

Maxmini are a Polish company making good quality resin figures, weapons and parts for conversions, for fantasy and science fiction wargames. Coincidentally, some of their parts fit neatly to Games Workshop's line of Warhammer 40,000 toy soldiers and models.

Their Siege Guns really caught my eye. They would be lovely substitutes for Medusa self propelled guns, but with your opponent's permission they could also be substituted for Colossus or Bombard mortars.

There is a nice review of the gun, showing the components, at the Bell Of Lost Souls website.

The guns and other bits are nicely moulded. There was a little flash, but hardly any airbubbles. When mine were delivered, they were missing the little wheeled ammunition loaders, but the guys at Maxmini were very apologetic and immediately sent replacements. Thanks guys, great work!

The guns are about the size of the GW Basilisk pieces, with much shorter barrels.

The models come with sandbag emplacements (three pieces of resin) which have been temporarily placed in the Terrain bits box. I assembled the guns and superglued them into the Chimera chassis, with a few extra bits such as ammo boxes, backpacks and communicator parts from the bits box.

This is what they look like attached to GW Chimera models:
