Looks like the Perun is squeezing the Russ of a mountain road! the russ is contemplating a shot.

Even out front, the Russ still cannot look big next to the Perun!

But a factual one! here is the final nail in the coffin for it. One detail in favor of the Leman, it does use less materiel and resources to make them., 2-3 russ tanks could be easily made from the materials of the superheavies! BUT the superheavies do have the charm of being monsters on the field!

lol that puts insult to injury...when you keep on misstreating your imperial backbone tanks then they will leave you barenacked on the battlefield...it has been recorded bofore in imperial history...(actually making that up, but it sounds cool^^)

Ah, but the Russ tanks get the glory of heading out first, and the troops ride on them in Apocalypse games.

aye, thus give the rusty rollin`tubes a bit of respect^^

Hey, they get more shots to play than the monster sized ones do!

only one solution then: get more monstersized ones^^

in actual game play, the big stuff has a tendency to be targeted more than the small stuff because the opponent knows that if he doesn't take out the apoc tank fast it will just chew through everything he has on his side of the board. last apoc we had here in the area, my opponent fired everything he had at my scorpion super heavy and got nothing, but i wasted his landraider in one shot.

that PT cruiser, is looking real nice there shaso, hopefully, when i have the chance to do my looted pod it will look just as good.

Very True, the main thing about the Apocalypse Super-Heavies and Gargantuan creatures is that they can draw fire, and still kkeep going after a hit or two!

I think that will work out just fine, can't wait to see how it all looks!

It looks great Shazo. its a beast

The Sabre has a tight fit with the Lascannon mantlet, and magnets and shims for the Big Bore as it still was jiggling a bit.

Agreed.

And I now also have the Sabres and Claymore in hand! I have to let Jez know they arrived!

man, that stuff of his is great looking, but i just don't see me having any use for it, except to ork it out and that would be a shame. i do still like some of the accessories he has though.

Makes an Interesting Counts as Leman Russ tank.

well i hope now that the sabre is there that you wont abandon the perun project...and i rather dont think the saber is a good standin for a leman russ...wider and i think he looks rather like a middle version between a monstersized tank and the lightweight russ...

True, the Sabre is a somewhat different animal than The Russ,. But is a tank I will still use,m and it is slightly thinner than the russ with sponsons, but w/o sponsons, the Russ is thinner!

BUT, the tanks came with kit! so they will appear a bit "lived in" Vik

Camo netting and kit bags!

Fuel cans and more rolled kit!

And with the day, I also bought more stuff for the Perun!^^

the kit stuff look good... cant figure out why it wasn´t included that way with the rest of the old crow models...hmmm

Well, they were a self presented gift for my March based B'day. I think that the kit and the small truck as a sorry for it taking so long for it all to get here.

if that´d be true, a nice touch from old crow then!

and by the way... since you mentioned it before but it didn´t sunk in in my somehwat fuzzy brain...happy birthday...better late then never^^

LOL! Thanks Vik! even belated Happy Birthday is welcomed.

The Truck again!

i recently optained some plastic pieces that i plann to one day use as trucksplatforms...the part where the goodies are transported on...this truck of yours could be a chimera of sorts^^

Closer to the Centaur as it is so small

ah ok...

I checked size with a soldier, it is so small! maybe hold the 5man team.

and for a command transport it isn´t posh enough...so better carry some equipment then? like vassily´s armasec and vodka?

Sorry, just stormtroopers(Spetznats)

Great work so far and thanks for putting up the size comparison with the sabre. The Sabre looks like it would be a good MBT to accompany a Pig Iron AFV. Both have a less riveted look while remaining suitably chunky.

The density of the resin also makes for some weighty tanks, they have a definite mass to them they do.
