Phase if you get to 25% or less.
Most have been FAQ'd and he was using a Tomb-Stalkers, (Centipedes)

He had some big squads.

oh- I always thought they had a 4+ sv.
Did you have blobs?
Did he have 20-man squads?
Did these two squads get in combat with each other?
Did the blob win?
Did either squad get help from other units during this combat?

The answers to those questions are in the Batreps forum!

Khadrovian Data: Tank designs of the Khadrovian Konfederacy.

Looking at Khadrovian tanks, one may notice that some of the venerable Leman Russ pattern hulls seem to differ. For instance, the Vanquishers apparently have the mufflers doubled and off to the left of the back armor plate, and the spare fuel drum, and or tool box on the right. If these are seen, and they have the thermal vent on the left side of the engine housing, then the observer is dealing with the hull number 8 from the Krupp-Mann-Vickers forges.

If the mufflers sit on the left and right plate sections with the thermal vent in the rear as well, and the spare fuel drum/toolbox is center of the plate then the Kharkov-Dynamics-Ural forge made those. There are other tank designs being made by these companies and their forges, and some may seem very strange to the casual observer, but they are in fact patterns of old designs re-discovered, or held in vaults but unleashed for the use by the Konfederacy in these troubled times. The odd design of Malcador "Defender", or the T-61A5"Vasily", even the strangely laid out T-90D hunting tank is being tried.

The low slung T-104 and BMP-100 are the results of such programs. As one design is put to slowed down production, another is set for increased production for equipping parts of the Iron Guard so that they have the right tool for the right job as it were.

Krupp-Mann-Vickers forges

man your mixing all in all^^
that would have been a sight for sore eyes if these ever teamed up to built a vehicle for destruction^^

very tech read here!

cheers, vik

Just using the same kind of mixing that I have seen others do for their books!

I could just see the Leopard II with the rifled cannon of the Challenger from such a conglomerate!

well the new tankdesingns are pretty much alike as the new car designs are... functionality all the way with too much character going down the drain...
the old one would be nice to be seen...
when reading about vickers this image comes to my mind:

Ah yes, the beginning of their "modern era" I also tend to think of this when I see the name.: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.overvalwagen.com/images/vickcom.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.overvalwagen.com/vickerstanks.html&h=304&w=509&sz=87&tbnid=KMdEXcAIUBb9hM:&tbnh=78&tbnw=131&prev=/images%3Fq%3DVickers%2Btanks&zoom=1&q=Vickers+tanks&usg=__6ckf2DqMDpRmnu0VfeT79Y5zn2M=&sa=X&ei=8rRZTfOLNYeosAOk6_2UCg&ved=0CE4Q9QEwBQ

i think with a bit different aproach on the treadsdesign this tank pretty much summs up what i have in mind for my leman russ stand in...the tube /wanne in german pretty much looks as best as it gets... diffucult to describe but the raised and lower sections of the middle part are exactly as i think mine scratchbuilts will look like...and the treads thgen a bit more in the nines like your thuddgun tractors treads you scratchbuilt...

with something like that no one could ask for more dakka^^

the many turrets speak volumes of death in widespread circlers around the tank^^

And it is said that it was inspiration for the kit I use for the T-440!^^

Spitting death in all areas around the tank with overlapping arcs of fire power.

well you need overlapping arcs... lest you get blind points and then your done in...

True those enemy troops with Melta bombs hurt!

wow I've missed a load.
Those leman russes sound amesome, and may I drop in this idea?- Have the tracks and thier housings upside down on a certain variant, with the hull the right way up.

A drawing may help with that concept. Sounds like a total flip over proposed by you there Shrike.

shasolenzabi wrote:Sounds like a total flip over proposed by you there Shrike.

lol...I haven't done one before, but I know someone who has and it worked really well...I'll go hunt for some pics...

Still hunting the pics?

hmmm wish i could picture that concept in my mind as well, sounds intersting but i can´t make an image of that proposed idea for now^^

couldn't find it...

nex time you get a leman russ, build the hull and tracks seperately. Hold the tracks onto the hull upside-down. You'll see.

So, that would make the treads high and flat on top, with a major slope under the front, like a MKI-V from WWI

shasolenzabi wrote:So, that would make the treads high and flat on top, with a major slope under the front, like a MKI-V from WWI

yep.

Now I have an idea as to what you are talking about for those tanks!

what leman russ variants do you have unassembled?

LRBT- check
punisher- check
executioner- ?
exterminator- ?
demolisher- check
vanquisher- ?
eradicator- ?
IMO, I think the vanquisher would work best upside-down

All of my Leman Russ tanks are assembled, so it would have to be a fresh kit unbuilt, I have all the variants except the now irrelevant Conqueror by FW.

what about the annihilator?

I built a twin-linked las cannon turret a year before FW came out with their version, I have the battle cannon in the front of the hull and call it the Khadrovian Grizzly.

How about making a melta variant, with either TL MM or a 3" blast MM?

That is whet the Devil-dog is for it has those rules already. 3" template that is.
