now that i have a black keyboard there isn´t so many spots to be spotted anymore^^...

that looks really good...am i guessing right that the ramp is fixed? would be super cool to have it moveable...

so thats lumbering...slow, steady and dangerous...really i wouldn´t want to be facing your troops...so much pain stored in cans there^^

by the way, that weathering at the ladder on the side looks really cool and convincing...
and 35 men as load...ouch thats quite a force in the face of your enemy...good shot thats not that quick then, otherwise this would hurt with a striking guarantee...

vik

Yeah, sadly the ramp is fixed, made from sheet panels and plastic tubes as hinge-works.

My troops get the best I can give them. Plenty of firepower to help on the attack!

Thanks, I really wanted to give the effect that many climbs with the harsh boots would make a mess of the paint, and then a little rusting occurs.^^

Well, I do have the standard tanks and transports as well, but those will be featured in a different thread one day. For now, I still have a couple of more oddballs to finish painting and post the pics with the fluff as well.

good equipment is waht makes a good fighter a better fighter^^ so the best makes the best...

That and the liberal application of artillery!

seeing the recent wars of the united states artillery seems very likely to go hand in hand with friendly fire tho...
something i wouldn´t look for when seeing your troops^^ that might be a case then about: having friends like that no one needs enemys any more...^^

cheers mate, vik

You should have seen how many templates I was tossing at opponents, a list that hurled 20 3-5" plates at the enemy.

That included the Leman Russes

but since your playing apoc games he must have had lots of models too or not? seems your juggling deathstars anyway^^

LOL that was actually a 1850pts list and not Apoc!^^ I had a LOT of mortars and the Thudd-Guns.

It get's worse in Apoc Games.

Add in the Oddballs!

ouch it is what i understand a bigger game but then when even not an apoc game i think your oponent was quite hammered? taht poor chap, what was he playing...er ... loosing with?^^

nids or orks?

vik

That list took out Black Templars, Nids, S.O.B.'s and Gray Knights as well as an Iron hand list and Armored company.

cool, so i have three heavy weapons teams, do you think i should do them more with mortars than autocanons and bolters? sound like you can create more impact (sorry for that pun^^) with mortars, i never thought that way, i am more for direct hits...but whatever it takes i guess^^

vik

Well, a single squad will not drop enough templates. Add in grenade launchers as well, like I had, Thudd guns and a basilisk and leman Russ tanks, and hellhounds that got me plenty of template lobbing doom for my foes.

well first things first but be sure i drop a note when i start with listmaking to get your help mate^^

vik

I'll help where I can! G'nite for now.

have a nice one^^

read ya^^

Well, the fluff is ready for the multi-turret tanks, but I have just old pics as they have not seen the paint brush for some time. I was wondering if folks would still like these set up here as is?

assembled pics are fine all the way.... ask neil he is our primarch when it comes to art noir in terms of pics of models^^

vik

Okay, then this will test as well to see how good my skills are at recovering pics from Photo-bucket as they seem to have problems!


Class: T-290 "Bison"
Type: Superheavy tank
Weapons: 2 x Battlecannons(Independent), 4 x Sponson Heavy Bolters, 1 x Lascannon, 2 x Pintle mounted Heavy Stubbers.
Armor: Front=14, Sides=13, Rear=12
Structure Points: 2
Speed: Lumbering
Crew: 8


Notes:
Like it's larger competitor/companion the T-350, the T-290 also fills the heavy Support/Command role in the case of a Baneblade being lost, Like the T-350 can. it is also a good support to other tanks such as platoons of Leman Russ as well as infantry.

The T-290 can fire all of it's weapons independently, or use the battle-cannons in a barrage capacity like the T-350. Both vehicles have also been considered for turret variations such as the Vanquisher, Exterminator, Eradicator, Punisher, Annihilator, and Demolisher patterns either paired or in any combination. Such variable turret guns would mean a flexibility unseen in the Baneblade .

All of these proposals are being reviewed and debated by the Mechanicus for further testing and studying.

Once I finish the other monsters, I will pull this one out for paint working.

might i add a suggestion here? the upper turret doesnt look as if fully atteched, rather he looks as if just put there and a quick round about turn would get it spinning down the tank... i would add something that conects it better to the rest of the tank. also the "tower" for the turret could use some modeling love as well as it looks a bit flat with only one or two aquillas as it si now...

but aside from that i like the two sponson bolters on each side...its like a scythe against enemies...

and the raised viewpoint just screams to be used as hq^^ so there will hopefully more fulff when its finally done...

vik

I suppose that does look loose, I simply chopped apart a Leman Russ and placed the turret ring section on top of the tower. I do have a ladder on the right side of the tower and will show that once I dig him out for looking at. I promise. But yes, it is fully attached, as all would be with a Leman Russ, the angle shows how loose Leman Rings actually are. Now Tamiya kits are tight like a tiger!

It has seen battle, but so far all tests have been inconclusive as to whether it is a major winner as the Baneblade, it does work well at grabbing attention and being shot at!

This issue with the tower/turret can and will be fixable with green-stuff!

nice one^^ but then others get their chance unencumbered to make potshots at the enemy so thats nothing to be sneezed at^^

vik

Yep, it either draws fire from the rest of the army, or it get's to pound the enemy in range of it's guns! at 36" it can broadside with the battle-cannons, heavy bolters and the heavy stubbers.

And now, because it was all possible due to the Apoc Tank set of 10 Lemans for cheap, the T-350


T-350 "Tzar"
Type: Super-heavy Tank
Weapons: 3 x Battle cannons, 3 x Heavy Stubbers, 4 x Heavy Bolters, Lascannon, Optional: 3 x Hunter Killer Missiles.
Armor: Front=14, Sides=13, Rear=12
Structure Points: 3
Speed: Lumbering
Crew: 12


Notes: Due to concerns that the loss of Baneblades would greatly impact the land forces in a negative way, it was felt something else should exist to lessen that possible loss and still provide heavy support for the tank forces. This need created two successor designs in use by Khadrovian forces, and battle proven, the T-350, and the T-290 multiple-turret super-heavy tanks.

Thanks to it's design, it has been likened to a crawling battleship. The T-350 can fire up to all three of it's battle-cannons into a barrage of frightening proportions, or at three separate targets, based upon the captain's decisions. The T-350 may not be as venerable as the Baneblade, but over time it is proving to be a worthy enough successor.

The T-350 is manufactured and deployed alongside the two turret super-heavy T-290, which seems to complement the T-350, an unforeseen, but accepted developmental surprise.

nice find of oddbals shaso, i remeber my gandfather telling me he used to ride a kettenkrad in WWII...lost his leutanent at the passenger seat in a rush from a horde of partisans...... was rather bloody story, and i remeber my neckhairs standing on end as he told me that...

on the T-350, your not building an actual Tzar now, dont you? as i recall it was one of your first oddballs shown here the one with the ridiculous big wheels that looks almost like a big wheel from the conny island fare...

vik

Sounds like a real tale for Bieren!

The "Tzar" or T-350, is my take, I have no plans on making giant tricycles.

BTW comp was out of commission, but I am Back!

hey was a bit worried as your a regular floater^^

so will yur next update then blow our minds?^^

vik

Next update will be to get the two big boys out and finish their paint jobs as I cannot afford new models at this time.

trhats exactly what i´ve meant^^

Total camo, flesh the commander, dirty them up.

Fresh pics, the T-61A5 with some small friends hitching a ride and walking with it!
