I only have 2nd edition Russ kits (around 10 actually) so for me it really doesn't matter anymore but for anyone else it sucks. I generally dislike it when ebay seller do not show the underside of the Conqueror turret when selling them for exactly your reasons stated. I saw this happen on some really expensive Annihilator turrets from my buddy where the turret hit the floor tiles and the lascannon just splintered into small puzzle pieces.sh** like that makes a grown guardsman cry. plastic turret base to the resin so the turret can fasten on the hull and doesn't go off so easily during play and may fall on the ground. But they sell like hot cakes because lot of people (and collectors) still like the old design compared to the clunky bigger turrets from the new design.Įven then you may want to remove some of the resin to attach the 2nd ed.
Purchase an old second edition version of the Leman Russ kit, they are still available on ebay. You need a resin saw, some leather gloves, a face mask and a high powered vacuumer connected to an airbrush painting box.
