I think "Pimp my sister" is a whole different kettle of fish...

How big a step is it for those that will be using it, does it need a double step?

Well the top of the wheel line is knee height I guess? A further option could be to offset them, with the light/step to one side of the tread step?

Hmm, liking the off-set option, shows the lights a bit more.....

Sounds like a plan.

Ok:


Hmm. Not sure.

How about:

Option6, I guess?

Consider also option 7 being the plate mirrored.

Yeah, maybe they don't go so well together, both as steps. One or the other I think. That's...option 1 (with a piston) or 6/7...for me.

Whatever grips you the most, you have to stand back a look at the whole tank and see what works with all the trimmings.

That looks good, graven. OSL will look great. or... OR, you could really pimp it out and put LEDs in it!

btw, I really like all the bits you tacked on. Adds a lot of character.

Hmm, not feeling the offset....back to option 1 for me I think....although there's still mileage in 3.....

Finally, a good use for all those stupid space marine loincloths. Awesome!

^Thanks! They're quite neat on shoulder pads, termie especially.
I have an option 8 in mind. Tread with lights underneath trimmed right back. I shall try to put it together tomorrow.

woof, i go away on holiday (ahhhhhh warm temperatures, how i miss you already) and theres loads of updates!

Really sorry to see the Squiggoth my friend, hurts to see it like that.....but on the (huge) plus side, the Excorcist is looking great! Will have to look over options and things tomorrow and my brain isnt processing images right now but i am already excited....

Warmth? WARMTH? Gitwizard.

Exorcist is proving fun, although I didn't expect the step to be the biggest headache!

New variant (9?) - tread step folded for transit. This, hinged, I think will be a winner:

I like all the extra frippary on the side. Really adds flavor.

Tenerife is a wonderful place

Spoiler:

Yes, that one! Agree with the hinge on the bottom, that would make more sense to me than the others (afaik a Rhino's doors open from the top, meaning the lights and things would be too obscured when it falls down)

Can't help but point out that the round style doors as seen in that pic have hinges at the side and blatantly open out like saloon doors...like the old-skool rhinos

I like it - extra points if you get working hinges and a little piston underneath

Awwww damn..... lol

Frippery ftw!

It is done!

Well, the step is. Thanks for all your input in this chaps. Tomorrow - Welshmen: Assemble!

Most excellent!

Looking good...liking that step...

Been lurking around this thread for some time now, no idea why I haven't posted, probably what you said a couple pages back sums it up- "scunnered".
in any case, love the work, keep it coming!

Hide the sheep ..........

Took a staggering amount of time to get right! It's never the things you think it'll be.

Many, many thanks, and glad to have dragged you from lurk-dom!

O-kay...

So, here is the Exoricst loadout, with searchlight and shrine:


And the Immolator:


What's that you say? Can't really see the top?
Well shucks, here you go then:

I cannot overstate how happy I am with the roof hatch for this. I'm really chuffed that I've managed to incorporate all the parts of the old classic Immolator for it, whilst preserving the aesthetic I've been going for.

Next stop: Repressor. Supply drop incoming!

Later dudes (and dudettes),
graven

Looks awesome gravenized!

ps.. I've hidden all the sheep! now what?

Love the way those turned out graven... just fantastic!

The spires sticking up beyond the level of the ML on the Exorcist bother me a bit... but that's been addressed by you already so I'll leave it lie. It's a very special build though... actually, both of them are.

Thanks chaps! And yeah, the spikes are silly, but I care not

Realise I didn't post a proper pic of the side - you may recognise the lights...


And inspired by the mighty PDH, an Inquisitor - just cos:

He looks like a glam rocker...

The exorcismolator looks suitably pimp now

How about a modular raised dias that can slot into place when your opponent complains that you're shooting your own spiky bits?

Inquisitor Beau Peep also looking quite the pimp!

But we get the point tho

Glad we like!
So I'm sick. Bloody kids. Well, kid. I have plague from my boy. Watched District 9, finally. It was utterly, utterly brilliant; rarely has a film so completely exceeded my expectations.

By the same token I'm watching Ted, and I feel like Seth MacFarlane deserves a slap. Anyway...
Been finishing off the exorcisinator:

HB loadout.

Repressor, though no dozer yet. Considering snow plough from my IG salamander.



Twin-melta. In my brain, I was thinking fleur de lis. Hmm. You can also see that I'm missing the windows for the right side. T'internet has no visors neither, at least not at sane prices :(


Possibly a better view.

Got a cracking supply drop of building parts from a couple of mates. So there's potential for work on the cathedral.

Hey ho,
Nurgle's little plagueling

Love it.... it's like... a tank... for chicks... and like... it's all decorated and stuff! LOL Definitely need more fleur-de-lis!

Though... I am wondering how the tank commander got all those SM loin cloths... trophies from past "conquests" perhaps??
