The above tank platoon consists of superscience tanks and conventional T-34/85.
I used 15mm Flames of War T34/85 minis as a base and added DP9 Tesla gun and some GZG building fittings as stand ins for the Sonic projector and the Thermal gun.

T34/85 Sn Sonic Tank

Sonic Projectors - Sonic weapons were developed by the Kriegsmarine for the Walrus amphibious Panzerkaempfer, though this weapon was also fitted to a number of Panzers and used in a land-based role.
Like their German counterparts, Russian scientists also became interested in the applications of sound as a weapon. Concentrated sound waves caused exposed vehicle crew and infantry to experience nausea, disorientation and unconsciousness within a wide area. However, troopers wearing heavy armour and vehicle crew inside their tanks were protected from this effect. The weapon was indiscriminate as well, and Russian troops were often caught in the effects of their own weapon. Nevertheless, the Russians, hard-pressed to find any weapon to combat the Germans, eagerly mounted these large rotating dishes on the tops of T-34 tanks and sent them into the field in considerable numbers.

T34/85 H Thermal Tank

Thermal Ray - Russian scientists were also fascinated by the immense defensive potential of Russia's harsh temperatures, and started to work on technological means to control heat for defensive purposes. The result was a series of special "thermal rays," capable of generating localized heat and cold zones.

T34/85 T Tesla Tank



I just love the Gear Krieg background that gives me so much inspiration for cool, pulpy superscience vehicles! ;-)
More soon...

pics not viewable =(

Anybody else have this problem?
I can see them...

I like the tesla tank.
Well done and keep up the good work.

Good work! Very soviet sci-fi style

Finally painted!


Stalingrad 1943...





T34/85 Sn Sonic Tank - Modeling Note: I used a Battlefront FoW T34 tank and fitted a small Satellite dish to the turret. The dish is from GZG 15mm SF building fittings.


T34/85 H Thermal Tank - Modeling Note: Again a Battlefront FoW T34 tank was used. The Thermal gun is from one of the GZG 15mm SF building fittings.


T34/85 T Tesla Tank - Modeling Note: I used a Battlefront FoW T34 tank and fitted the DP9 Tesla gun to the turret. The Tesla gun is from the Allied weapon pack of DP9. To make it look more fitting to the tank I shortened it to 3 “dishes”.

The deliciousness of this thread has just reached meringue-like levels.

Wow, those are smoking hot!

Very nice. I like mixing historical with scifi. Great look.

LOL, thanks guys! :-D

Wow, I honestly never cared much for "alternate WW2"; they sounded too "cartoony" and childish.

But now that I've seen what they can actually be... I stand corrected

Those are some sweet conversions!

I have to mention that your photography/photo-editing skills are awesome too!
