Ok, so some of you may have seen my thread about an extremely large tank for my sisters of battle. It's been started somewhat but i don't have all my tools on me right now so it can't really be worked on. I do have some early pictures though.

To start here was my concept.


Here is the Chassis for it in box. Purchased from Target for $29.99.


and a nice picture for scale, that is it compared to a sister with multi melta. The castle tower in the back is going to be added to the tank.


First thing was to disassemble the beast.


That's as far as I got today, just wanted to show you guys the scale of the vehicle and the project im taking on, wish me luck and more to come!

What happend to this one o_o?

It's the same one just thought i would start a new WIP thread, not sure how to delete the old one :(

This is looking up nicely!

I don't think you can delete threads. Just leave a link leading to this post.

This could turn out pretty damn good!

Quick Update:

After doing a bit of work and re working my ideas, i took some advice and decided to add a pulpit to the front of the tank, just need to find some right bits to make it.





Thanks Guys!

More to come.

did you take my advice for the puplit??

SWEET!!!!

I love the idea for the tank and was going to do something similar with the daemon hunters with a roaving battle church...

essentially it was an old style cathedral on two baneblade bases...

the first base was a large tower that's base floor was a battle deck with many mounted guns and firing platforms...

the top floor had a balcony with an inquisitor with outstretched arms in front of a daemon host that was shackled to an alter...

the second banebase had a large arched cathedral main body that poured out soldiers from the back...

it was the battle church... so it sucks that I dont play inquisition any more...

so now I make crazy chaos things...

Last Update for the Day:

SINISM: did you take my advice for the puplit??SWEET!!!!

I did infact take your advice and i like the way it came out, there is still a lot of work to be done and i'm in the mood to paint right now so i'm taking a break from this project until tommorow.

The newest addition is the monstrous battle cannon on the top, I really wanted to add in the turret from the original tank body, and i added some more to the pulpit in the front.



Thanks Guys, and more to come tommorow.

I like how the concept is being executed, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Awesome!
Now put a Canoness Superior at the pulpit with some repentias and give it the tau flechette discharger rules aswell ;D

Looking forward to see this beast finished.

Holy Zzappa, that looks really good. Give it some turrets though, that would make it real 40k-ish.

trust me it will have turrets galore, this thing is the size of like 4 land raiders and should have turrets to match

I'm not sure how I feel about a Mageknight tower being used in such a fashion. While its cool to see someone else that actually owns it, I'm sad to see it being abused.

j/k about the abused part. I think its a cool concept. lets see how this one turns out.

OMG that is unbelivable it looks so COOL i can't wait to see it finished!

ha, i got the thing for 2 bucks at my FLGS they had about 40 of them at 80% off

Hell yes! Thats what Im talking about. Looking good so far. Very killy as well

It's excellent!

Cool idea, you'd do well to disguise the shape of the Abrams quite heavily, as it's very distinctive and might detract from the scale you're going for

I think adding some sponsons and additonal turrets will do that job nicely. Also I think it looks a bit Abrahmsey due to the colour scheme, which will also be changing.

Yeah, 2 large flamers are going on the sides, not sponsons long flamers that span the entire side.

I havent been able to work on it due to lack of materials, but I will update as soon as possible.
