You'll have to excuse for a moment, my jaw dropped too the floor and I can't find it.

I smell a halo reference.
Nice job though!

Correct me if i'm wrong but the Hornet very closely ressembles the flying Custodian craft from the Horus Heresy art book, anyone else think so??

Haven't posted any updates for my super heavy tank, working on my blue angels and ive done some work on my superheavy tank. The turret is complete and the hull has some more work done to it.

Words cannot begin to describe how fantastic that tank is

WTF! That thing is a beast. I think the only way to make it cooler would be to have in transform into a titan optimus style.

The turret looks awesome which kit did you use to construct it?

The turret was from a british challenger 2 tank plastic card stock, storm sword vocanno cannon and spare parts i had laying around.

class work.i love to see original ideas or a different take on vehicles etc.

Just how many barrels of death does the Thor sport?

Acient Viking myth Thor had this Thunder Hammer that smashed and destroyed everything in its path as the name applies it a space marine titan tank of destruction

The Thor is absolutely Incredible!

That thor is so incredibly cool!
How many marines can it carry? one company i guess....

Maaaan

Can't wait to see it finished and painted

How much time did it take up until now?

Thor's Hammer looks cool.

Pity it can't be be called Hellhammer, or banehammer, or all the other hammer names.

I do have a suggestion for name though:

Imperator.

You've just made every Baneblade variant ever built feel inadequate.

The Thor looks a lot like the Superheavy on the bridge from Valkyrie Chronicles. I like it.

The Thor... I can't begin to describe how much I love that thing. The thing that makes it so awesome is the turret. Just the sleek look to it (relatively speaking) is so far above the boxy look of IG tanks. Without it (or with a baneblade-like turret even) it just wouldn't be quite the same (though it would still be pretty cool.)

The Hornets were, IMHO, were the worst of the lot (again, relatively speaking). I just couldn't see past the obviousness of the Rhino/Razorback. The Pegasus is very nice. If I had the time, money, and materials (not to mention the skills) to do one of those, it would definitely be my SR.

The Raven Shark is pretty cool, though it looks a little off to me. I suppose it's the contrast between the super-sleek front and the rather fat, squared back. Just doesn't scream SM to me.

I like the APC a lot. I would have never caught the Aliens thing, but then again I suppose I'm not a devout fan. I'm just wondering what the large mortar-like barrel is in the middle. (Demolisher, maybe?)

It is a beast!

Armament:

Volcano Cannon
2 T-L Heavy Bolters (forward facing)
3 T-L Lascannons (2 Sponsons, one fixed forward facing)
2 Lascannon sponsons
1 T-L Assault Cannon (foward facing)
4 HB Sponsons (2 fixed rear facing, 2 sponsons)
1 Multi-Melta
1 HK Missile

That means (facing forward) it can shoot:
1 Volcano round 72"
5 Lascannon shots (3 twin linked) 48"
4 Assault Cannon shots 24" (twin-linked)
6 HB Shots 36" (twin-linked)
1 HK missile (unlimited range)
1 Multi-Melta shot 24"


And from the rear:
12 HB shots 36" (6 t-l)
1 Multi-Melta shot 24"
2 lascannon shots 48"

Fantastic job!

Lol very excellent use of the Thunderhawk Space Superiority Fighter from B5 there, also the aliens drop ship and APC i must admit those are some pretty effin wicked conversions!
the only one i don't like is the hornet, it is a box tbh, however the THOR is without a doubt EPIC!
nice use of M1a1 Abrams parts to boot

Thats not an assault cannon, its the Vulcan mega bolter

Two negative points (they're only pedantic, so you're free to ignore them).

1) The Thor is awesome, but it NEEDS bigger tracks. A tank that big requires wider tracks to move. There is a way of figuring out the width based on the length. But if you look at regular tanks, about 1/4 of the width is tracks. the bigger a tank gets, the more than fraction increases. The Tiger II had really wide tracks, and the Landcreuzer (if it was real) would have needed to to have 75% it's width to be tracks to move.

2) Can that multimelta actually shoot further than the length of the tank? LOL - I imagine it's only really useful for firing sideways!

Very impressive body of work shaft. That is one behemoth of a tank! Loved your flyers too!

Wow there is a lot of really cool conversions and home made vehicles in your thread. I applaud you for making everything look so streamlined. I make a lot of large ork conversions where they are more forgiving and can hide mistakes much more easily. These vehicles of yours look very good and once the paint is thrown down, they will look official I am betting.

All the model are really good! amazing work!

Simply fantastic work.

I really like your conversion of the Aliens APC. Any chance you could snap a picture with a Space Marine next to your models for scale? (more specifically the APC )

Oh, Do you plan on adding tracks to the middle of the Thor? I think this would only make since for a Titan Tank to have mid-section treads.

Ditto on the tracks. Maus, the ill-fated German World War II experimental, had them so wide its lower hull was a third of its total width. Its predecessors, particularly the King Tiger, and the Jagdtiger, suffered from a similar affliction, but you probably know it already. I bet changing tracks each time the tank was loaded and unloaded on the flat car had to be a real pain in the neck.

That APC is sweet dude, I really like the Thor as well......may have to build my own APC actually. You said that the APC is an Aliens kit? Nice work all round matey. Now you just have to paint them! Good luck!

Nice use of the aliens kits but where did you buy them from?

And 4 land raiders WTF a bit expensive!

<3 . However I must say that Thor looks a bit more IG than SM with the sandbags, sotwage, comms and all. I think something SM would be more like a moving cathedral crawling with servo skulls, servitors and laquerd with motheaten scrolls and purity seals, prayers etched into the tarnished armour.
