As promised I have knocked up my planned conversions of the Kunitsa APCs to Space Marine type tanks. I was considering a step by step guide but due to the small number of steps I will make do with just a few words and pictures.
Raw parts - you can see the limited flash on the parts here which only takes a few moments to clear up. You can also see the two turret choices you get with the Brigade models, the missile turrets of a bit plain to me but the machine guns are fine.
Kunitsa body and Sherhen AA turret - Razorback. There was limited filing on the top of the APC to remove the door handles, then to angle the barrels down a little bit by removing the fixing under the turret.
Kunitsa body and Vikhr Katyusha turret - Whirlwind. This was even less work as it just needed the turret plug removing from underneath and the handles on the top hatches filed.
Kunitsa body and Volk Assault Gun barrel - Vindicator. The barrel needed a little work to stop it from aiming too high, but this is simply a bit of filing till the angle is right.
Kunitsa body and Rosomakha turret - Predator. This was the trickiest to put together, with the sponsons looking a little small and a bit tricky to get lined up. The top turret again just needed the connecting lug underneath removed to make it lie flush on the top.
These are a dead simple set of conversions and will let me fill out my Marine armored section really easily. I have three 3rd edition Predators in pre-heresy Thousand Sons livery (more on these soon I hope) and I can now put together a big enough section to support the infantry without always resorting to Titans.
