Given the new Codex, and a limited budget, I'd convert to a Griffon.<br /><br />Before you do though, Marshal Argos has a good point. Take a look at the new Codex. Note there is a raised shield surrounding the crew on the "new" Griffon. It looks very much like the one you've added to <I>Opilio</I>.

I was quite disappointed when, having thought of converting some RTVs for my Helghast and using what I assumed would be a 5-man transport set of rules... ho hum!<br /><br />I'd definitely say go with the Griffon - they're very tasty.Itkovianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232909071786636360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-47375323057416064242009-05-11T13:08:00.000+01:002009-05-11T13:08:00.000+01:00well it you can have both options then you're on a...well it you can have both options then you're on a plus plus!!<br /><br />CraigCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00048865630833404845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5898341582574934477.post-39248549597902962702009-05-10T21:49:00.000+01:002009-05-10T21:49:00.000+01:00Thanks for the comments, chaps.

I havent posted in ages as Im so bogged down with Uni work at the minute, but my Salamader arrived from FW the other day and I'll be starting the Commissariat command version soon.
