I recently entered a scrap build competition in Brighton where we had a gargantuan amount of parts to make something with in 1 hour. I was lucky enough to secure an almost entire Leman Russ chassis, a blister of Ratlings, and a few Planetstrike parts, and I managed to make what the store staff affectionally called "The Ratling Wagon".

Please comment on the pictures but please do not comment on the painting as the painting is still a work-in-progress.

Also, what could I count this model as? I was thinking of a Vanquisher with a powerful tank-hunting laser. Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Valkyrie

Dats a right nice claw dere, i might ave ta swipe dat off ya

Looks cool, the lascannon on top is ace.

I'd say that it could count as a normal LRMBT if you just put the bolter barrels back on the sponsons. Only for the orks, of course.

I was thinking of counting the sponsons as plasma cannons, as they look quite technical and archaic

Im sorry

From the title i thought it was for skavens hehe

Very maniacal looking, like something out of an unorthodox tech-priest's garage, like the idea of the big tower on the top containing the main gun, and the claw is very well done, would like to see the painting finished.

I dunno, bunch of short people hanging around on a weird looking tank = squat experimental weapons!

I'd appreciate it if you commented on the topic rather than things that have nothing to with you so I'm asking you to mind your own business.

Thank you.

I like the lascannon on top. It's clunky, but kind of works.

The claw is dead 'ard.

I think there's possibly a bit too much going on at the front, though. I would recommend swapping out the battle cannon for something a little smaller that would distract less (and not get in the way) from the claw.

Not sure that the rearward pointing missile are strictly necessary, either.
