1/48 scale KV2 tanks make very nice Ragnaroks...

Those look great!

I always loved the beauty in ugliness of the KV-2.

I am thinking of using an orkified KV-2 turret on a skullhamma i am building. What scale turret would you suggest to use on a baneblade chassis to get that same oversized turret ratio?

The 1/48 KV2 is the same height and width as the GW Leman Russ (without sponsons); the length is about 20mm greater, but I can live with that, and it gives me no benefit, just makes for a larger target. I haven't worked out how to get sponsons onto the KV2, though that's still in my mind.

Nice work.

I have couple of hobby boss 1/48 KV 2 that I am chopping up and remaking for sci fi/40k. The ideal kit for IG and ork conversions.

Bit small for Leman Russes but Ideal, as you have shown for Ragnarok tanks. using one of mine as a medusa chassis.

@Black Corsair Ragnaroks were basically built by Death Korps of Krieg and pushed into service where there was a lack of Leman Russ patten hulls. ( I think thats right).

Ninja'd Wulfric got here first!

I'd say stick the KV2 turret on the russ and that would look sweet!

Though your ragnaroks look awesome and are different from the standard russ, the only gripe I have is lack of panels/rivets/other misc textures on the kit. Although this may just be the ork player in me talking!

The Ragnarok as a tank was introduced (I believe) with Epic Armageddon.

The KV2 is a popular Leman Russ proxy for Vostroyan and Valhallan Guard armies.

That would be a 'yes' to the fish-tank grass. It was made from insulation foam, cardboard squares and foam card.

And I am using the straight Leman Russ rules; I will have Ragnaroks for the LRBT and Demolisher, and be using Russ for the more 'interesting' variants - I have mentally pencilled in a Punisher for my Commisar, for instance...

SO no thoughts on my question concerning a KV-2 style turret for a Skullhamma?

Errr... I don't have a Baneblade, so it's difficult to compare. I would guess that a 1/35 scale KV2 turret would give the same impression, but I can't be certain. Sorry.
