Epic Hydras as Rapiers would be a great conversion, maybe you could use the Hydra gun platform attached to the Rapier chassis so it still conforms to size and silhouette (mostly)?

Here's the first 1500 list I'm testing. It's light on AA, especially if Corsairs end up intercepting rather than sniping dropships. But it's using units I like.

1500 Army
Clash: 1500/1500 points
Standard Army

• Standard Roster [1500/1500 pts]
  • Oppressors [333 pts]
    • Desolator: Desolator(Master) [225 pts]
      
    • Reavers: 2x Reaver [108 pts]
      
  • Vanguard [292 pts]
    • Hunter Squad: 3x Hunter, Marauder [146 pts]

    • ^ Sharing ^ Warrior Horde: 3x Warriors [81 pts]
      
  • Occupation Patrol [260 pts]
    • Destroyers: 2x Destroyers, Intruder Alpha [140 pts]

My attempt at a 1000pt skirmish list. Made with battlescribe as it works on mobile however haven't had a chance to check it against the rulebook and make sure it's actually a legal skirmish list. less infantry than I'd like and the scouts and Zeus arn't as usefull without a commander, however I want to give them a try and see how they do.

Pretty sure that's legal for a 1000pt skirmish, and it'll be a good test of those units.

If you want to still do 1500pts with commanders, cards and fast movers, we can still try it, I'll bring models for both lists. Up to you really

Okay brilliant. Ill bring models for both lists as well. We can just decide on the night.
I'm slowly making progress on painting what I've got. Taking longer than Id thought though, so far one zeus two janus and four bases of immortals done. So wont all be painted

So I had a moment of weakness and now have a type-4 chassis hades super heavy walker on its way. Anyone got any ideas of good ways to use it.

Bring it on with a poseidon, or walk it on and shoot stuff! It looks pretty epic and very hard to take down.
