Hello everyone this is my first post since joining this website so I hope you like it. I got the idea to first make my own skullhamma, even though I don't play orks the urge to convert had me, as it does sometimes. Once it was complete I kept looking at it thinking there was something more I could do, something else I could add to it. So the tank steadily got bigger as more dakka was added in true ork fashion. Eventually I ran out of room on just one baneblade chassis so I had to get another to continue my work and this is what's been created so far. I'm trying to loosley model it after the krater maker that gw made for their rise of the mangler campaign. Enjoy the pictures, more will come soon

I love all things orky and super heavy, so I am definitely loving this. My only suggestion is that the super long barrel on the front looks out of place; long barrels are a motif for more accurate guns, something that is rarely used in conjunction with orks.

Eventually there will be another baneblade in front with more supports for the cannon and a wider barrel for it[b]

looking very very cool so far. all i would say is i think the barell is'nt too long its just a bit thin compared to long long it is. so proportion wise it just looks a bit strange. but over all it is a epic vehicle.
and just as a last note, does the krater maker actually have its own data sheet somewhere or are you just making it for the sake of it?

keep up the orky goodness

im actually making mine so that the 3 bane blades can be detached from each other and used as just skullhammas. however our local warboss has all the super heavies from FW so we never need more so it might just end up being a display model. it could also be used as a counter to the emperor titan if any one ever builds one of those cuz that datasheet is ridiculous

They detach! please put a picture up of them as the 3 skullhammers.
That is such a good idea.

Hello everyone its time for more pictures. My friend gave me the idea for a deffkopta launch pad on the side of the tower and a launch bay for warbikers. While the deffkopta pad is done I'm still looking for a way to make a bay for warbikers and where to put it so any suggestions would be helpful

I've also decided that the cannon that's on the tank will be the big meks failed attempt to build the krater maker. The actual cannon will be large enough to have a killa kan load manticore missiles into it
