Taurox with Blood and Skulls Industry 6x6 Wheel Conversion Kit Review

Quite some time ago, I picked up a couple of Longhorn 6x6 Wheel Conversion Kits from Blood and Skulls Industry and a couple of Tauroxes to put them on. I finally got around to putting them together, and I'm very happy with the results.

The kit isn't perfect. You have to be careful with the front wheel mounts, as it's entirely possible to put them on upside down, which will put the wheels at a wonky angle. (That's not actually the issue with the picture above. That was just the result of me not getting things lined up right and the short working time of superglue.) There's also a mold line going around the center of the tires, which is kind of a pain to scrape off without also damaging all the detail on the treads. That's really it as far as issues go, tho. They look fantastic, and go together really well.

The Taurox just looks so much better with wheels on than the weird track units that GW designed for it. They've also got an 8x8 kit and a half-track kit, both of which look pretty cool, but I like the 6x6 best.

In addition, I don't know if these were a new customer bonus or a packing error or what, but they sent me 8 of their Medium Skulls 1, which are even better quality than the wheels. I scrubbed them a bit just to make sure there'd be no issues with mold release agent, but there was no other cleanup needed. No mold lines, no sprue points, nothing. I've been using them as Blood Tithe tokens and Wound Counters, and have gotten several compliments on them.

They've got a ton of other cool stuff, too, including turret mods that look like they'd be compatible with the Chimera, Predator, or various Super-Heavy Kits, and little detail pieces like the skulls and sets of spikes, giving a great way to personalize your Vehicles. I'm definitely gonna be picking up more from them at some point here, very pleased with my purchase. Y'all have a good one now, y'hear!
