Some minis will be sold from a line I do not play, and 40dollars will help with more of the right color and the stocking of food!

Will wash the tank soon.

Well, there is a stratagem where any and all tanks get to carry men, it is of course called, "Tank Riders" they can leap off and charge too boot!

You have seen the old WW-II vids of T-34's and such with Soviet soldiers on their backs and then leaping off and attacking alongside the tanks yes?

Now some are so big that only 4 fit the tray!
From the left is the Malcador, the T-290, the Perun, and Bogatyr!

In such battles, one uses what they need to make the best fight possible. It also makes a hell of a themed army!

T-290 is behind on all paint works, just had it's camo retouched and awaits the black squiggles! How can I mud up an unfinished beast like that?

Ah, I can remedy that! at 4:41 you see tank riders. and at 8:34




Always nice to see the models compared, and also see what a wall of dakka they can bring to the Apoc battles!
[/img]

But yes, I really must finish that T-290
[/img]

Tallest tank i have even taller than a Baneblade!
[/img]

Such an awe inspiring sight to see such beasts coming at you!
[/img]

T-290 towers over the Malcador!

Well, I still also like this vid for showing a Khadrovian style attack on a place that needs their ministrations in the name of the Emperor!




Oh so true, next to the more combat seasoned looking pals, T-290 looks to baby faced!

T-300, muddied, yet looks still somewhat clean, but not as so as T-290

Bogatyr is done,,,,for now.,

Cameo as I do some work on that same Grey Knight force, Capt. Drago with helmet for him. GK's are too Overpowered to be that fun, and also I did see that they could lose to the scenarios in 'Ardboy tourneys, as they were not able to cover enough situations to be dominant! this years contests favored simpler armies that could have enough to do all sorts of the tricks of the missions!

You might be surprised at what they can do. All force/power weapons and awesome anti-psy stuff. Daemon armies are totally boned by them. They can out perform many other Marines as they can take ammo that makes all ther weapons +1 to their Strength so a bolter now hits like a heavy bolter. They can be quite pesky to deal with. Orks could overwhelm with 30boy mobs, IG with massed platoon of same size or more. For Nids, it would depend on the make up of that army as well.

well the idea behind the GK is that they should be able to "bone" demons^^ bu i think it sounds a bit OTT to be better than average tactical marines or termies...after all they way i see it the GK are just a specialized branch of the SMs...well i know only the hardest and toughest get to be GK but still...

seeing the standards of paintingschemes on your bogatyr and perun you established the T-290 is in definte need of a serious overhaul...by the way what he too is in need of is a good name...since perun and bogatyr are so colorful names you need one especially for your command tank!!!

somethink about an allseeing eye maybe would be nice...

Ah, this was my very first major conversion piece, and as you noted, I have learned much since then! Well, with the way you put it, I shall name the T-290 "Argus" though it was the "Zhukov" originally.


Been Seeking out oddball tanks, Tanky alien infantry @ 2011/10/27 09:45:00


Post by: Viktor von Domm


argus sounds nice tho not russian enough^^ looked up zhukov and this is a fitting name too...chosen well...always tough to be between a rock and a hard place ^^

yup your first major one...and if you are about to optimize something for your command tank i would reconsider maybe the top turret... maybe you could do something to better balance it? maybe to the front flesh out the tower it is resting on?that might help...mabye youst a small structure addition...i think a small place for some extra secor arays aor something...

Gotta keep the 360 degree rotation for that turret! Not sure of any arrays that wouldn't interfere with that.I do have a few things that Might be attachable to the turret at the top that may give a more "command" presence.

i think if you set it first you probably will be more comfy with the fit... and i guess you won´t get too much probs when having to paint it later... you are after all a very capable painter....

Thank you! And yes, the Leman Russ is a hybrid of WWI/WWII tanks like the Mk 1-V series of the first world war to more modern tanks with the upper main turret.

WOW... what a mega upload of an update mate! that flag is stunning... love the freehand...that aquilla is very convincing! love those thin lines you did for details...and i congratulate you to your fine work of sculpting the falg so that the turning of the turret isn´t hindered! that is a lot to do...man you are busy! one thing still on my mind... the flag needs a wash or two...otherwise this is freaking cool man and i hope you feel half as proud as i feel about you^^

Been Seeking out oddball tanks, Tanky alien infantry @ 2011/11/04 20:50:28


Post by: shasolenzabi


Ah, like the more modern open tracks of today's tanks minus the side skirts

The wheels on the track and ground are the road wheels, the little ones supporting the tracks are the return rollers(The french tanks like the Char 1 used a set of slide guides) the wheels with the teethe is the drive or sprocket wheel, and the other large wheel is called an idler wheel,(usually loosened up to ease tension on the tracks for maintenance)

The road wheels are also usually attached to torsion bars and shock absorbers or in the old days springs.

by the way...would the command tank of yours stand a chance against the deceiver?

Likely it is the early work of conversion I used, but this tank actually pre-dates the Orky thing from Forge world, that is the uber grot landship, I have seen it.

Any tank at that range had best have damaged or destroyed the deceiver, even the new down sized "shard" of such, as they are still classed as "monstrous creatures" with all the ability to tear into tanks that implies. Good thing Battle-cannons are so long ranged as they are.

Fresh paint.

The G.A.Z.-77 "Chameleon"
This is the Khadrovian Military's aggressive p/u truck. a pinlte mount for a Heavy stubber can be mounted above the cab, and a man in the p/u bed can stand behind it and fire the MG. It can also be used in goods and supply carrier, as well as transport a small 5man squad of soldiers. The "Chameleon" with so many roles earns it's name.

[/img]

As can be seen, the G.A.Z.-77 also has external stowage mounts for tools and other equipment.

Also seen is the reinforced ram style front bumper with tow mounts.

Along with stowage, the "Chameleon" also has a comms/spotlight package.

T-103 "Uhlan" this tank is lighter, and faster for making spearheads and forays along with the MBT-90D, and the T-104 Fast Tanks.Both of which are respectively 40 and 60tons in nature. the T-103 also has like the heavier tanks, a loading servo arm that loads the shells into the battle-cannon. The crew consists of Commander-Gunner, Augury/other systems operator,and driver(he get's to fire the servo Heavy Bolter) No higher than the T-104, the T-103 is slimmer, and weighs around the 15 ton range.This version also has the advanced augur,targeting systems, this is what allows the tank to attack at high speed, and still blast the target,.

Awesome Stuff!! I especially like the armored car-looking thing with twin-linked guns. You DO realize what would make them all look 100% better right?

Those look like nice casts, if a bit plain. Can we get some scale shots next to 40k minis?

Looking good...but those tracks need a dark wash of some kind really bad. Not only are they mega bright, but the detail is hiding.

Oh you know the "rivet-gun" is going to see a lot of use!

This was just the debut, I will have a 40k soldier for scale for the next sequence before priming as I must add rivetty-rivets!


@Mad4minis: Oh, I have a nice chestnut or other dark wash waiting to bathe those treads in, before I slop the mud all over them, then the last wash to add depth to the "dirt"

The Old Crow stuff is great, I have one of their Sabre tanks. They are a bit plain, but the lines/casting is as crisp as can be, and the come very well finished...he actually sands any irregular mating surfaces and such. I definitely plan to buy more in the future. Im thinking I may pick up a couple of those little scout trucks. for 7 GBP they cant be beat.

So, before I went to pop rivets all over thee fine vehicles and prime them, I was asked about a 40k model set next to them for size reference, and I felt that a Catachan would do just fine for the job as most here know fy\ull well wht it is and that it shows how the new tanks and other vehicles are in the Chimera size and smaller based on this volunteer's service of posing with the differing vehicles.
With the smallest to the largest

the casting material of OC looks a bit different for me this time...

great rage of tanks and assorted vehicles you have got!

the BMP-99 looks for me the best atm... but that might be changing after some serious riveting!

congratz to that mucho suply drop!

and a happy new year mate!

Rivetted one of the Lancer alternative turrets, and one attack buggy, and the P/U-truck version of the buggy. I also did a checkof size compared to the "Sabre"(T-104) and the MBT-90D and found the T-103 may be better classed as a 15ton tank, making it a licht-panzer!

No problems, having a soldier for size workj helps a lot of folks see how well they could integrate these vehicles into their armies, just a few minor adjustments and voila!

Oh yeah, now for the turret pics, mounted on the "lancer" or BMP-100 hull

I think adjusted flash will work best while they are unpainted.

No flash at all, looks like a sodium bulb effect when I do not use flash.

Back showing stowage bin. this turret has yet to get rivets!

These are for when I want some transports with the "Auto-cannon" option from Imperial Armor books(still need to order that one for the costs of the cannon.)

Otherwise the half as large servo turrets will suffice.Carries troops and a bigger gun with the new turret, amazing eh!?

I like those vehicles, especially the heavy and super-heavy tanks. Just a solid lump of thick armor and a gun, no baroque foolishness. I wish they would make some battlemech-type vehicles in 30MM scale with the same design aesthetic.

Well, some of the vehicles Old Crow makes are also in G.E.V.(hover craft) or anti-grav options. For my tatses, I went with tracked and wheeled as my Tau/Necrons already have enough anti-grav to go around!

Well there are also the pages of odd banter between Vik Von Domm and myself to wade through as well. But I do try and show the odder bitz and vehicles here.

That an old Warzone Orca gunner in the buggy?

Shoulderpads mark him out as non-GW.

Just checking, as I think I've got a pair of them somewhere.

just my thougt too... he showed them us waaaaaaayyyyy back many moons ago...

oh and shaso... i think this time the barrels of the OC guns needs drilling...
and not many rivets have been showing up against that still not primed material with the flash all flaring^^ but i expect you did the very best there^^

Well, when i "GW'd" my Orcas into dwarven sentinels, I gave them engines on the back so had three men out of a job, this one applied and got the job!

Oh yes, you know this highly reflective material is "hiding the awesome rivetiness, but wait, there's more!

at first i thought the refference pic was a funpic... then i thought...wtf..such small tanks? well to each...their track^^

if we zoom in on the pics the rivets show up...if you know they are there...but as you are an honorific founding menber, riveting is a given^^

Lookin good! But you definately need to drill out those rocket launcher tubes and barrels methinks.


Been Seeking out oddball tanks, Tanky alien infantry @ 2012/01/04 13:02:58


Post by: Viktor von Domm


dunno...the rocket launchers could be shut... don´t they come preclosed? with a lid that bursts open when fired?

but the main gun barrels definatly should be drilled out...


Been Seeking out oddball tanks, Tanky alien infantry @ 2012/01/04 13:21:19


Post by: shasolenzabi


The missile launchers get a color code for the Krak=Red, and Frag=Green

As for the drilling of the guns, that is planned. They have a start tap but they are not so deep, some flat black will also help with that once they are painted.

Now for tank 2

Post by: shasolenzabi


I think it is because he removes the oils and sands the join surfaces, making the glue live up to the term "super-glue" so if you work on a OC model, make sure you know where that piece is going, once bonded, it will take quite an effort to get them apart. (That bond is in very few seconds, so reposition FAST!)
