Kitbashing a HUGE CUSTOM Tank

[@falsehero2001]

Thinking quickly, Pete improvises a tank using nothing more than a bunker, some runners, and a tank.

[@CAMSLAYER13]

I'd personally recommend taking the tracks from a 1/36 scale ww2 tank kit. Much cheaper than a bane blade

@@Selvanus why are you telling me this? I know, I'm giving ideas in the comment section not making demands to the creator. Most people don't go to official events so I think buying a cheaper kit for things like tracks is a valid suggestion, to clarify.

I think it'd be cool if you dove into a Knight. Maybe a knight aligned to a specific faction. A knight allied to the Sororitas and it's a walking church. An infested Nurgle Knight. Maybe a knight that's more affiliated with the Imperial guard so it's all plain and busted up like a WW2 tank

This reminds me, in the Horus Heresy book Fallen Angels, the Lion Leads a relief to a Forgeworld that eventually turns against him, but before that he discovers these 8 massive supersized Siege Gun Tanks that use Macro Cannons that can be found on imperial navy ships. This build is reminiscent of that.

[@LtColShingSides]

The hatch beneath the base of the main gun adds a really cool aesthetic. Easy access to main cannon for maintenance.

[@argokarrus2731]

Probably more the driver's hatch

[@LtColShingSides]

@@argokarrus2731 Maybe? It looks like it's be a tight squeeze for the drivers, the gun barrel doesn't have alot of movement. It's is also huge. You could fit some big parts and tools through there for barrel maintenance

[@argokarrus2731]

@@LtColShingSides If you've ever noticed the tank interiors, they are naturally extremely cramped. This also applies to almost everything.

[@LtColShingSides]

@@argokarrus2731 sure but when you have a tank that's as massive as this, with only one gun, it'll need to have room to move the huge parts in and out. The main gun is pretty much a volcano cannon on steroids. So the inside of the tank is just the power source for the gun, and all the mechanics needed for the tanks to move and shoot. I'd imagine the tank as one wide corridor that leads from the back to that hatch, so parts and tools can be brought in for maintenance.

[@truenothefox]

@@LtColShingSides During heavy maintenance, most tanks have the turret removed and placed on stands that have access underneath to get inside without issue, and engine coverings that aren't directly part of the hull are also removed so the engine can be pulled out to be worked on easily. From there, the interior of the hull can be reached using the huge gaps left by all the missing parts. Not sure if it would apply the same way for WH40K tanks, but I imagine it would in most cases.

[@hutchy1k94]

I did something crazy like this one too. A baneblade modelled after the Maus superheavy tank, made from two land raiders, a vindicator's front and dozer blade, a chimera for the turret and a cannon from a Paladin SPG. I'm not doing anything like that again.

[@PrayingLotus]

I find this most impressive in regards to the rather small palette use, but incredible detail obtained from it. This could definitely be a kit on its own I feel like, and wouldn't be surprised if GW stole some shit from this just to make even MOAR cool big tanks

[@lordhamster9452]

Funny that just last week, i got a wrecked ww2 medium tank kit. With the intent to recover and turn it into a IG vehicle. Upon closer investigation, I planed to make an Macharius proxy out of it. But it could be also bashed as a troop crawler of some sorts. Not entirely sure which to do.

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

[@SlashDotMatrix]

Id love that idea of it powering up over several turns - or better - its already firing and the defending army either to prevent the enemy from breaching their defences. Still looks awesome!

[@Qardo]

"Guardsman." "Yes, my lord?" "See that great big door right there?" "Yes, my lord." "I don't want to see it." "Yes, my lord." Makes the call. Ten Storm Sabers roll up into formation. Their thunderous cannons roaring to life. As the cries of the Emperor's fury shakes the very earth beneath their feet. The cursed grand gates being hammered by the thunderous explosions of massive shells striking its surface. The doors buckle and they fall with the thundering roar of screaming men charging into the breech and the sounds of Lasrifles flaring filling the air. "Glory to the Emperor. Glory for the Imperium."

Brilliant conversion! I will never not love super heavy vehicles in 40k. Very much would love to convert my own, I have ideas such as using super heavy tank and terrain parts to create a PDF Naval Vessel or Submarine of an oceanic world. That or perhaps create a giant mobile command centre to use as a kill team board. Or perhaps even an armoured train. Or perhaps use baneblade parts to create a large scale tank carrier. That seems like something the Imperium would come up with.

The siege engine analogy is actually the best as this seems to be more of an SPG than a tank, akin to self propelled artillery. WH40k's version of the "Karl-Gerät" from the Wehrmacht. Great job looks very impressive!

[@Greywolf1066]

Excellent tutorial! Whilst the cannon barrel suits your build, something I’ve been doing is replacing them with turned aluminium,usually in 1/35 for a more in scale look.

[@IloveJellow]

love this kinda stuff because you can create custom matches with these which gives the board game a good spin of fun.

[@the23rdradiotower41]

Could you do a captured and converted vehicle? As I’d say some orks took a bane blade and repainted and modified it for their own use.

[@motherreaper7287]

I've loved this model from the beginning when you made it a year ago. Rewatching it again now, there's a few suggestions I do have. Joining the seams between the landing pad and the tank tracks with some miliput and making it look like a weld job would help to cover that gap up nicely. The barrels could probably have stood to be a different colour from the vehicle. Adding some details like shovels and other gear would give it a little more life. Maybe even some soldier fortifications on the front of the "deck" to make use of that large space as well.

[@garyknight3018]

I should have figured you were responsible for this colossus. I was thinking that it looked light on the armament but then I had a bit of a thought.

We have the basilisk on the chimera chassis, the colossus siege bombard on the leman russ hull and now we have this magnificent beast

that's an awesome idea, a lot of space on the black widow to add DAKKA PORTS

[@okonkwojones]

@@pigmentpeddler5811 Shoota turrets everywhere! looking at the valkyrie sprue, the twin boom assembly is in enough independent components, it could definitely be adapted to fit on a different fuselage. How easily is another story as I’ve neither seen a dakkajet and it’s variants nor a valkyrie in person, so I can’t speak to the spacing/body width. But it’s theoretically possible. Also a fun idea: a conversion based on some of the planes from the classic Crimson Skies: something Like the devastator or the brigand. It’s weird, asymmetrical FW would be extremely orky as well. For a smaller plane, you might even be able to use the fuselage of the scrapjet. It has a rear facing grot maned turret to boot, iirc.
